re: Question for LSU and Florida fans - need clarity

LSU fans - do you think UF's defense is really good, or is it just they've played weak offensive teams in your opinion?

I think it's really good, but will be tested more than in previous games.

LSU's opponents over the last few years have learned to respect the Tigers running game, loading up the box and daring the QB to beat them through the air. This has also been the case this season, the difference is that Mettenberger has been able to get the ball behind the defense.

I suspect UF will similarly try man coverage while focusing on LSU Rbs. It won't take them long, however, to realize that they can't cover both WRs man-to-man, so they will adjust - probably earlier than other teams have been doing. I anticipate covering deep, giving LSU the short passes, with occasional blitzes from the LBs.

It'll be how LSU can get the ball to the TEs and FBs that may determine the outcome here.

Oh yeah, LSU is going to kick Alabama's arse in Tuscaloosa this year.
