I feel quite confident that Florida is going to win tonight. And I wish that more fans were objective about LSU's team. LSU is building, especially at QB, OL, and DL. Florida and Bama are built. End of story. :tigereye:
Being objective is one thing. Actively discounting every LSU victory/accomplishment while simultaneously ignoring any flaws in our opponent, smacks of someone willing to desert their team in underdog situations so they can claim they were on the "winning side". Here's hoping you don't break your arms practicing the Gator Chomp.
Please. Can you imagine how surprised and elated I'll be if LSU pulls off the W tonight?! Do you have any clue of how badly I want to be wrong?! But . . . I just don't think I'm wrong. I've watched this Gator defense for two years now. Record-shattering Oklahoma couldn't even do anything against them last year! You think the worst offense in the SEC is suddenly going to wake up against them? It doesn't matter who is at QB for the Gators tonight. LSU's offense will struggle just to make first downs. The Tiger D will stay on the field and tire out. LSU will fall behind. Jefferson will be forced to throw the ball downfield. He'll get sacked and throw INTs. Hence, a pretty comfortable win for UF. Again, I hope I'm wrong.
Actually I told you so would mean nothing. WHy? Well, UGA beat Ark who just beat Auburn who just lost to ARK when Auburn beat Tenn. What does all of this mean? ANy given Saturday. Now you would use Tenn's performance today to justify what you are trying to say, but thats just dumb. No logic or stats will make any of us, other than your self and a few others, that beating UGA last week is a win like last year. Only 3 times this decade has LSU started 5-0. Last 2 times we won the NC. Chew on that.
Im just saying that maybe this was Tenn's wake up game. If anything TC, you can see a huge difference over last year. I would think even you could admit that. Still, about 90% of LSU fans and the nation feel that it is just a matter of Time before LSU starts a train that will not be stopped.
I admit that LSU is better than last year. The defense is stable under a proven DC. The offense doesn't throw pick 6's every game. LSU's best ball is ahead of them. (I can imagine them challenging for championships next year.) But right now they're not the 4th best team in the country. And unless Florida makes a ton of mistakes, the Gators are going to spank LSU pretty good tonight. :redface:
Most dont care about the 4th ranking. It doesn't matter. But thats not the argument. the point I want to make to you is LSU improvement. Each game LSU has gotten better. Even in the wet games. The only thing that is hurting LSU is the redzone. yea even with some O line issues, LSU is less than 50% for redzone. LSU has had the chacne in every game to drop 45+. While you look at our stats, I look at that as if that changes tonight, LSU wins. Our D is good enough to beat UF. SO is our O, however, the redzone is where the game will be won for LSU.
I think LSU's offense will have very few redzone opportunities tonight. They'd better score every time, or else the scoreboard won't look much different from last year's in Gainesville.
