LSU / GA Thoughts
- Thread starter DU46
- Start date
If LSU doesn't drop passes like they did against ARK they'll win.
Think it was like 6 or 7 dropped.

I am not playing this game, but for some reason the Bulldogs always stink when they play LSU.
I cant trust Ga to win this game.

I feel ya ATL, the Dogs always seem to be a little bit intimidated against the Bayou Bengals.
I haven't decided which way but I know I'm definitely gonna have to play it.
Your first instinct makes you wanna play LSU because they pretty much ran the table, however, with Chocolatey 100%, I'm kinda liken the Dogs--

Gonna be in Georgia this weekend visiting my uncle who has Leukemia. I've always followed the dawgs most of my life and I've gotta agree with you Scott, UGA struggles against LSU. But there is something to be said about playing near their backyard in Atl. I would probably take the 2 points and take my chances. My uncle says this will be their year and I'm gonna take the advise of a may who's 85 years old who survived WWII, Korea and is taking Chemo. once a week. Go dawgs +2.
my money is on LSU -1'....
vegas is absolutley begging for UGA money...IMO this line should be UGA -3 or so, being a home game and all for UGA. LSU's speed on defense will give the dawgs fits all night. love the tigers in this spot :clap:

I like the Dawgs this Sat, but not in a big way. Lsu's Qb Russell is a big guy @ 6-6 252 lbs, but not a rushing threat with -1 yds for the season! He's been sacked 18 times this yr compared with only 13 all of last year. Although he's completing passes at about a 60% clip, I think that if Ga can get to him it could be the difference. Shockley has 241 yds rushing this yr, but unfortuneitly most came before his injury. He's completed around 55% of his passes with a Qb rating hovering around 99. Both Qb's are good, to bad for the Dawgs Shockley will be gone after this year and fortunitley for the Tigers Russell is a Sophmore. I think a very slight advantage to UGA. The Tigers are abit better on defense allowing 278.7 ypg while the Dawgs are allowing 303.9 ypg. I think LSU has abit more team speed, but slightly.
I think the difference in the game will come from coaching. Im not saying Wes Miles and his staff isn't decent,but I personally will take Mark Richt and his staff! Both coaches will have their teams prepared and both teams are in my opinion are relatively evenly matched, The dawgs are playing in the dome but LSU's fans will be in full force just like a few years ago, but it should be a tight game and I'll take my chances with Georgia. (Although in a small kind of way). Just my two cents ..Cabo...

I dont have much of an explanation..but i am on the tigers in this game.They should quiet the crowd early.
I don't think Les Miles wants a part of Coach Richt. The teams match up pretty evenly and both have problems catching passes at times. Also remember that UGA now has Kirby Smart as the running backs coach who was a DB coach for LSU the previous 2 or 3 years. I'm sure he will shed some insight regarding certain tendencies.
This game reminds me of the UT vs LSU SECC game from 2001. UT was suppose to roll and make the National Champ game and all was a certain victory for UT before kickoff.
I am gladly taking UGA +3.

Here`s some info i came accross...
I did not write...you might find it interesting

Two teams that are so similiar its not even funny. Great D's, mobile QB's that can be erratic on occasion, love to run the ball. Here's the breakdown:
QB's: Russell has been great and he has been brutal. After a poor showing versus Arkansas, he should bounce back and have a better game. He is very athletic and is a Duante Culpepper like load to bring down when he runs. Shockley is a bit smarter with the ball and takes better care of it. He still is hampered by his knee. His running numbers arent what they were before he went out. This is a big confidence thing with him as well as he has lost part of a dimension of his game.
Edge: Even
RB's: LSU's Addai and Vincent vs UGA's quintuplet (i think that means 5) of backs. Addai is the best out of them all, he has size, speed, moves, and great vision. He has had fumble problems in the past. Thomas Brown and Danny Ware are much more stable with the ball, but are less skilled then Addai
Edge: Even
WR/TE's: LSU has great speed and huge playmaking abilities with Green, Bowe, Carter, Doucet, and Davis. Hands are the problem again with this unit as they had 9 drops versus Arkansas. Mutliple drops, especially on that play in the endzone, almost cost them vs. Auburn. Georgia has no real threats on the outside, but can counter with the consistency of Pope and Massaqaiuo at TE. LSU has much more big play capability and this could be key in this game as there will be very few long drives.
Edge: LSU
OLine: Both teams have very good powerful run blocking lines
Edge: Even
Defense:
LSU has the better stop unit against the run, as they only give up 90 rypg. This could be the most important stat as UGA gives up 120 rypg. LSU's D is star studded with Oliver and Wilkinson on the line, Highsmith and Vaughn at LB, and the most important...the safeties Laron Landry and Jessie Daniels-these guys are probably the best starting safety duo in the NCAA.
How I see this game is that LSU's D should be able to corral UGA's run attack. If LSU holds on to the ball, they should have the advantage. Also, LSU played one of the most undisciplined games i have ever seen against Arkansas. They didnt take care of the ball and they took stupid 15 yard penalties up and down the field. Les Miles has made comments that that won't happen again. I expect this team to be focused and ready for UGA. UGA hasnt looked the same since Shockley went down and came back. LSU takes care of the ball and grinds one out 17-13.

LSU overrated
LSU overrated
I think shockley will run wild in that dome against LSU defense, also what is so impressive about LSU, that team has had more close games this year that I can remember.
Also, as an Auburn fan that has seen my team play both, I would MUCH rather play LSU again than Georgia, ecspecially in that dome.
Shockley a HUGE X-factor, think Georgia wins by at least 7

I don't know how you can say they are over rated....their record speaks for its self and minus the misshap at half against Tenn they would be the third best undefeated team and probobly ranked #2 in the nation based on schedule strength.....unless you have a pretty good reason as to why, its simply not correct to say they are over rated compared to UGA.
Based on how both teams have played....I've given up on UGA and riding LSU BIG....as for playing this game I'dd take LSU for 100 but that's me.
These teams are rivals but this is not UGA's year, they have been a ton better in the past years.
LSU by at least 4

the reason i can say they are overrated compared to georgia is very simple;
1) georgia lost a tough game to Florida w/out Shockley.
2) Georgia is a 4th and 8 away fom beating a very good auburn team that is playing as well as ANYBODY right now in the SEC.
3) LSU has escaped by the skin of their teeth to Alabama, Auburn, ARKANSAS, Arizona St. Those are off the top of my head, not even looking at their results this year.
4) they lost to a tennessee team that would have been lucky to have a winning record in div. 2 this year.
did you see their offense at HOME against Arkansas.....pathetic.
They came into this year with extremely high exectations, and that to me is the only reason they are ranked #3.
They have a very good defense, I don't see it as beeing leaps and bound aboves Georgia's. I would also take georgia's offense any day of the week over LSU's.
Thats how I say LSU is overrated compared to Georgia.

Good points.
Georgia is the toughest competitor that they have seen in a while since Auburn. I will agree with you there for sure.
To me....I just don't think Shockley is all that good and since being only a sophmore he will make sophmore mistakes. all around I truly feel that LSU has the better team but you have definately brought up a lot of good points. It's going to be a tough game.
Where I don't agree with you is if you think UGA is so good, then you should also think LSU is very good based on their record who they have beaten, and so forth. To say that LSU is more over rated than UGA in my eyes is contridicting because both teams have achieved at the very least the same amount. And on paper LSU has achieved more. Therefore that is why I do not think LSU is more over rated than UGA in my eyes.
The way everyone has been playing I really can't tell you who else besides PSU that should be ranked higher than them....Maybe VT but that's about it. (higher meaning above the 4 spot....give credit to USC and Tex not losing yet)
GL it'll be a good one

Can't Understand??
Can't Understand??
I really can't understand why Georgia has been looked over this year? I think some of it has to do w/losing Greene, Pollack, etc. Although, I think they are more dangerous this year with shockley. I remember in the beginning of the year a line w/ georgia favored by 7.5 to boise st. in athens???? Talk about a lack of respect, georgia came out and made a statement. I sort of feel the same way about the way Auburn has been treated this year. Iknow its a little off subject but, ranked #2 at the end of the year @ 13-0 get shafted in BCS and the reward you get the following year? A number 18 pre-season. I know what they lost, but gimmee a break. I just can't understand why certain teams (ie. Fla. st., N.D., Miami, Ok.) get breaks with pollsters (N.D. loss to mich. st @ home?????), and others don't. (oregon, auburn, georgia), sorry about the rant.
