LSU fans - does it concern you that UGA is more tested at this point?

I'm not talking about how anybody "looks" or stats or any of the subjective arguments. I'm simply looking at the fact that UGA has played two opponents that many of us consider to be very good teams and they go into the LSU game with more experience at this point in the season.

Even though I think LSU is the better team, I believe this will be a factor.

I honestly believe that this is more of a disadvantage for Georgia. This Georgia team has had problems with top ten teams in the past and usually only beat one big team per year. The game is a push for me but I see Georgia's schedule so far as a disadvantage

I'm struggling to follow that logic. Other than the potential for injuries and wearing down the players by the end of the year, I can't ever see playing a tougher schedule to be a disadvantage.

I'm just going off of Georgia vs top ten teams the past few years. Despite having great teams they have come up short more times than not.

No. UGA is extremely overrated. Sure Murray and Gurley are good but Mettenberger and Hill are great. Couple that with the undisputed fact that the LSU defense is better and Richt is a retard and LSU wins the ball game by 10+.

I also think an LSU team who is playing on the road against their first big opponent of the year might be more "jacked up" than a Georgia team who is playing their third top ten.

- none of this May be a factor but that is my view

That's definitely good for them. They've been in 2 wars already. We pretty much know what UGA is already. All that's left to be seen is what LSU is. We really won't know until after this game. I feel like we win, but I'd feel a hell of a lot better if we had them in TS. Won't surprise me if UGA wins, though. Yes. I guess the fact that they've played 2 very quality opponents while we haven't has given them a bit of an edge.
Our D is very talented, but very young. It's almost a toss up to me. Our youth will have to grow up very quickly in this game. These two teams are almost a mirror image of each other.

I am a big believer in tough games early. You learn a lot more about yourself and can improve.

Some people get caught up in getting "exposed" or revealing your playbook, but I don't think that's much of a factor. You can outsmart yourself in a hurry in this game. It's more important for your players to experience their weakness so they can work on it.

I think we know LSU's weakness is an offense that runs 90 plays 15 seconds apart. LSU dominated Auburn until wearing down in the fourth. It was too late by then. Luckily, UGA doesn't play at that pace.

I guess you could say that if you didnt take into account Ga terrible seconday, average front seven, and below average wide receivers.

Sure their schedule has been tough so far, but it's only week 4. Their young defense hasn't had that much time to mature, and their two big games were shoot outs. LSU's offense will probably be the best one they face all year, and the score will probably reflect that. The good thing for Georgia fans (IMO) is that they get Gurschel back next year with a much improved defense.

No, what concerns me is how our offense plays. If Mett plays like he did against Bama last year LSU will win. We don't have the horses on Defense this year. I expect a high scoring affair like Bama vs aTm.

I'm more concerned that we have yet to figure out how to come out of a time out and NOT GET A DELAY OF GAME PENALTY!

I know TCU/AU aren't Clemson/SC....but they aren't chopped liver either. I feel this team has been tested, just maybe not as much as GA. I personally don't see it as a disadvantage.

A lot of fanbases are really worried about whether or not LSU is concerned about them.
