This is gonna be a barn burner!!!! :dry:

I disagree.

We will burn the barn. LSU will struggle. Their offense is still shaky and their defense...well look at the point totals they gave up to Florida and to MSU, for goodness' sake. We have a dynamic offense, and our lack of experience on the O-line is balanced out by the fact that, for all the myth and legend around the LSU D, it's really just average this year. When you break it down by team, it's more telling than just looking at the numbers.

LSU allowed Appalachian State to score 13 points. Not bad, but App also isn't as good this year as they were last year, and LSU is not Michigan by any stretch.

LSU allowed North Texas to score 3 points. That'll drive your average down!

LSU allowed SCarolina to score 17 points. That's okay, we only allowed 7.

Now, on the flip side:

LSU allowed two teams that don't have an offense (Auburn and Mississippi State) to score 21 and 24 points, respectively. The only team that has an offense that they've faced this year, the detestable Gators, scored 51 on them.

You need to feel better about this game than you do, bigdaddy. LSU's only advantage -- and I mean their only advantage -- in this game is that we have to go to Baton Rouge. That's it. We win in a retro-waltz. Anyone care to take a trip back to 2004 with me?

Georgia 45, LSU 16

That was positive dapolla, made me feel better about the game. Still nervous though. Our offensive line against their defensive line. Hope Stafford has enough time.

Dapolla I would LOVE to go back to 2004 with you! Funny you brought that up because I just finished watching the highlight video from 04!

I know you won't, but if the jitters are a problem, tune into the game after 5 minutes so we can get that dreaded first series out of the way. Then, look out. I don't see moving the ball as a problem, and the team is aware of the issues in the red zone, so I'm sure they've worked it out. The D will do the usual of giving up plays and then stiffening when they need to.

It's our time, ladies and gentlemen. I felt this way before the florida game last year. A feeling of confidence and peace. That feeling stayed with me until the final seconds had ticked in the Sugar Bowl. I feel it. Can't explain it. We win this one, of that I'm completely sure. (And I don't post anything like this again if I'm wrong... but I'm not.)
