Florida at LSU

Here we have a game in the Bayou State that could certainly have national Championship implications. Florida certainly took a lot of the luster out of this game with a stunning loss to a mediocre Auburn team at home. They appear to have either got caught on the look-ahead, or are not as good as billed. The hang-onto-your-life win at Mississippi tends to have us leaning to the fact that this team is a far cry from last year's National Championship team. LSU meanwhile, has played as advertised, one of the top two teams in the country. They have allowed just four TDs in five games, and they will undoubtedly be at their optimum performance for the Gators. LSU is 43-6 SU at home, and this is their best team ever, and should turn the tables on last years 23-10 defeat at Florida. The LSU defense allows just 174.6 yards per game – No. 1 in the country. And, they are in the top 14 against both the run and the pass. They have allowed just 6.4 ppg. Florida lost a lot of key experienced players to the NFL, and despite its 23-10 win at home over LSU last year, they were outplayed. LSU had eight more first downs and more total yardage despite the fact they made five turnovers, handing the ball to Florida repeatedly. This time there is revenge, this time it is at home, and this time LSU is better on both sides of the ball. We will ride the Tigers on their way to the BCS Championship Game at year's end.
