Here they come. Are we going to get points on the board? Is the defense going to hold?

For winning the Natty give every Dawg a bone AND prime rib steak.

I'm not sure what to expect in this one. Two very good football teams.

My biggest hopes? I hope we can get a big pass rush on ZM. I think if we can put him on his back side a few times, he'll get rattled and make mistakes.

My biggest worry? If ZM has time in the pocket, their receivers will decimate our secondary. They'll carve us up. Problem is, they are balanced. I would normally say let's just stay in some sort of dime package and dare them to run it, but they CAN and WILL.

Our "O" has to do what they did against the 'Cocks - sustain drives and wear down their defense - no small task. But that would give our defense some time off the field - time that they will NEED.

Our special team units may be lose this game based on what I've seen over the last 3 games. I mean really? What is going on with these guys?

The Dbacks better be on their best game. Other than that, I feel pretty good about our chance of winning this game. IMO, it's all going to come down to turnovers and penalties happening at the wrong place and time.

thriller, gillette, get the time, check out the links below. Talk coming from both sides of the fence. Doing some scouting and think Ellis Johnson flat lays it out without a lot of coach speak. Usually coaches talking this soon after the game gives some pretty good insight.

Excellent articles, Buc - gives one some hope. I hope Abuurn took some wind out of LSU, but somehow I think Miles will have them ready. This is going to be one heck of a football game, IF - I say IF - we come ready to play. If we have any flatness to us AT ALL, LSU will win a lopsided one. Their offensive balance is scary. :unsure:

thriller, one thing that sticks in my mind after several years of watching . . . . Les Miles will do the unthinkable. He and his teams have won many games doing just that. Players love him for that.

If however anyone thinks differently, Mark Richt has some of that in his bag. Looking over Richt's years in coaching, he is not past doing the unusual.

Haven't had a lot to say, do however worry about left tackle. Trying hard over there, just really hard to play that position in the SEC.

Notice Ellis Johnson tried to load the defensive line against LSU with five. As he says in the video, did not do much good.

We run a three man front, scares me, four man questionable. LSU will run the football big time. Mettenberger will have "nerves", look for a lot of in your face 280 pound fullback and others.

Folks like the sounds of pads coming together, this will be one for the books.
