Pretty confident that you guys will be our toughest game. I think your defense alone will give you a chance; however, the question will be can your offense move the ball consisently enough, especially thru the air.

UF is the absolute worst opponent in College Football for LSU right now. LSU's defense is terrible at the edges trying to keep contain, and who better than UF's speedy scat backs is there than bouncing it outside and taking it the distance.
Not only that, but as has been evident LSU's defense struggles mightily against mobile QB's. Now Tebow isn't the most mobile or elusive and more of a power straight ahead guy, but he certainly has enough foot skill and agility to free himself up from tacklers and deliver a ball.
If UF had Harvin or someone of near equal talent in the Slot LSU should just forfeit. LSU can't cover anyone for jack shite who lines up in the slot. LSU's linebackers struggle mightily in coverage. Not to mention who on LSU will cover UF's Tight End? LSU's safeties still suck in coverage.
Only good thing is that UF has lost sure handed receivers, and this new crop has a ton of development left to do before they catch up to last years group.
But all in all UF's offense is just a terrible match up for LSU.

Thanks, but I think we have the same problem this year we had last (a less than stellar defensive backfield...major exits in '07) and a D-line that is the weakest in 5 years. We will have to outscore someone like UF, and I don't see that happening, short of a '97 miracle game.
