SEC Championship Game

[TLankford]

-Anyone that thinks UGA's defense is a simple product of a "Weak schedule" obviously has an agenda or has simply not watched them play.

eeeeh... Not sure if serious of if this is just a lot of homer not allowing you to see the truth here and I watch ever SEC game that comes on TV. Outside of the two Losses to start the year, UGA hasn't played a team that is currently ranked in the BCS Top25

If that's not a weak schedule I'm not really sure what is... Unless you're saying it's strong compared to a WAC schedule

And the wins against the below average competition are not impressive at all (except Auburn). Beat:

The worst Ole Miss team in history by 13
A non-bowl eligible Tennesse team by 8
A 6-win MSU team whose only SEC wins were against OM and UK by 14
A decent Vandy team (it's vandy) whose only SEC wins were against OM and UK by 5
A Florida team that is absolute trash by 4
New Mexico State
An Auburn team with an offense ranked 100+ in the country
A non-bowl eligible UK team by 9
GT who runs the triple option (not really applicable defensive stat since defending the option is a different sport than a normal offense)

So... as far as a weak schedule argument goes, not sure you have too much ground to stand on there. Pretty widely acknowledged that the SEC East this year and last year has just not even been competitive compared to the West.

Wont have internet service for the weekend on hunting trip so will add my final random thoughts.

In no certain order

-Anyone that thinks UGA's defense is a simple product of a "Weak schedule" obviously has an agenda or has simply not watched them play.
-This is not the same team that played Boise.
-Each team has played 2 top 20 offenses this year.
-LSU by far the best defense they have played all year and probably the best in the country.
-LSU special teams advantage(never thought I would say that at beginning of the year:facepalm: )
-Les is very content winning "ugly"
-LSU offense ranked 62nd overall
-UGA beat up at RB
-UGA has more to play for in grand scheme of things
-Anyone that beats LSU will do it with D, your O doesnt matter.
-LSU could take advantage of play action and shorter corners.

The list could go on but im tired
All this adds up to a few plays.

Under 45.5 x4 (love this)
Will play UGA 1h if I can get it at 10
Will play UGA if I can get 14.5 for game

Thought this game would come out at 10.5 or so and had all intentions of playing LSU. If I can get two td's and the hook though, I will be on UGA. This game will be close early. In the end if LSU plays to their potential they will leave with a win, but turn it over a couple of times and blow a coverage and the "unthinkable" could happen.

Here's to a good game, and regardless of the outcome GL to LSU in the championship game:toast:

i'm with you and not. You mention UGA is not the same team. LSU is also not the same team that beat Oreg and WV away from home, nor is it the same team that faced Bama. JJ is a big deal to this offense. LSU offense is #62, but they work with excellent field postion, which hurts some, and have only had their starting QB for a small portion of the season. Not coincidentally, this has been the best stretch by the LSO offense.

As for UGA D, I like it. 3-4, large defensive front. A poor man's Bama led by a Saban disciple. LSU will have to complete passes on 1st down early to soften the dawgs against the run. Dawgs can get after the QB, but LSU protects the QB, so that battle seems like a toss-up.


May the better team win:toast:

With these teams being unfamiliar with each other, it could easily be a defensive slugfest, particularly early in the game.


Think I'm going to add the under, or maybe the 1h under.

Georgia played a very weak schedule as opposed to LSU. Most people over look the strength of schedule and make decisions based on the past couple of games. I see another blow out this year, a repeat of last year. LSU by 21 or more. :0008

:toast: BINGO

Congrats LSU fans:toast:

Stage was too big for our young guys on offense. Defense was great(I am sure tlankford would disagree:facepalm: ). Dropped passes and Rb's:facepalm: Ultimately the cream rose to the top. Congrats again and good luck in the big one:toast:
