LSU / GA Thoughts

[Dawgs]

Good points Steve.

LSU is ranked #3 because they continue to get Katrina pity votes each week. Even with a 10-1 record I still believe that they should be ranked somewhere between 15 - 8.

I thought he was a sophmore for some reason....my mistake, however an interesting stat that I came across today is that he averages 3.8 yards per carry and 24 yards per game. I'm not sure whether or not that's quite an X factor but those are his rushing stats.

Here are my takes:

1. The best team in the SEC, Auburn, is not playing for the championship.
2. There will be virtually no home field advantage when it comes to fans. Maybe a tad on travel, but I don't think that will be much of a factor. Both of these teams will be heavily supported in the dome.
3. I think the biggest test for UGA is the play of their O-line. LSU's D-line is absolutely vicious, but UGA's O-line is no cream puff. If the run game can free up the middle of the field then Pope has a huge day.
4. I think the biggest test for LSU will be QB play. I think everyone expects some dropped passes and a heavy defensive rush. How Randall controls his emotions will be a huge factor in their output.
5. As menitoned above, Shockley is the X-factor. The only problem is that he is probably still not close to 100%. If he is, I think UGA wins this game by somewhere around 10 points. If not, LSU could win this game by somewhere around 10 points. I do not think this is going to be a close game.

As sporadic as these two teams have been, I just don't see much of a clear betting angle here.

Go Dawgs!

LSU overrated???? HUH??? LOL Georgia lost to fla barely beat Arkansas barely beat South Carolina vandy ran up and down the field on them!! If anything these are two similar teams. LSU better defense if they corral shockley from running will be along night for GA.

Thanx for the support dlvlsu....I def agree 100%, however, what you will here is schockley wasn't playing blah blah blah. Personally when playing against Tenn I didn't think he did all that much...They won convincingly and I won some money, but I seriously didn't think they were that dominate. Against a good D this is going to be a great chance to see how GOOD SHOCKLEY REALLY IS....Staying away from this line though, they are both good teams and like I said at the very least LSU has achieved just as much as Gorgia and on paper even more.

I would say go with the under, but then agian there is overtime...I'dd take my chances with Jamarcus
