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

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+.

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.

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.

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

tested or not, it's UGA. They are top 10, it's at their house, and they are capable of scoring 40 points. Any team in the country should be worried in this situation.

You can't tell them that. They don't see it.

Nah, Georgia concerns me because of its offense. I'd feel that way whether they played their actual schedule or a bunch of directional schools. I don't think either team will run away with this one. It'll be a touchdown margin or less, IMO.

Lol no. We've seen Georgia's playbook. They've only seen the first page of Cam's.

I'd be concerned if LSU had a habit of not showing up in big games under The Hat™. But that's never been an issue, so I know LSU will be ready.

Everyone points to the South Carolina game as Georgia blowing up a great defense, but outside of Clowney (who is having a down year) who is playing great on USCe's defense. Vandy hung 25 on them last week.

Are they tested sure, but my bigger concern is the amount of young players on LSU's team. They haven't been in a big game on the road yet. Yes LSU hasn't played a highly ranked team yet, but to be fair Last year they looked like garbage against weaker opponents. This year they are dominating them as they should be. Auburn is still an SEC school with SEC talent. They had what two bad years and everyone thinks they are a dumpster fire all of the sudden.

All that said I think the two schools are pretty even in talent with each team having slight edges in certain positions. It could really go either way. The good news is after this game you will know exactly where each of these teams are at in terms of expectations. Georgia would not have that question about them if they beat Clemson. But in true Georgia fashion they lost to an underdog then won as an underdog. They are still a good team but that certainly raises questions.

Here's to a hell of a game

A lot of things about the UGA concern me. That isnt even remotely one of them though.

A little. But since the first two games, Georgia has had week off and then messed around with North Texas for 50 minutes.

The way Auburn kept fighting in the second half should also be a good lesson to LSU that they need to keep pushing for the whole game.

Nope. All "tested" means is that they've been weighed, measured and found wanting.

So you are talking about your a-hole....err opinion.

any of the subjective arguments


WAT?

Both of these things are subjective arguments. I think you have subjective and objective arguments confused.
