Figured with ll the talks about the D, maybe we can get back to basics. "LSU has given up 16 plays that gained 25 yards or more this season, the fourth fewest in FBS."
I saw a stat related to this about Notre Dame facing USC this weekend. ND has only allowed one 25 yard TD this season. USC has scored 15 times on those plays.
I think USC is in a heap a trouble this weekend. I don't know how many SEC fans realize just how big of a rival this is.
I thought USC would beat them with Barkley playing. With him out, they have about as much of a shot as AU does at beating the Gumps.
Aside from Army-Navy it is the biggest non conference rivalry game. Florida-Florida State, Georgia-Georgia Tech and South Carolina-Clemson don't hold a candle to either of those two.
No doubt. I've already planned to DVR the first part of the game and then catch up to live TV after the Stanford / UCLA game is over. I suspect both games are going to be worth watching.
