re: Week 3 match up--------- LSU vs Ms St

Hard to pull stats from a small body of work against sub-talented teams, but judging by what I've SEEN of LSU's defense, they are FAST! They also run fit well! But they are REALLY freaking fast! If Key and Lawrence are back...




Only ways Fitz will be effective are scrambles with LSU in man coverage IF the D-linemen get way out of their lanes. But LSU's pass rushers tend to bend and run so well that they are wrapping you up faster than you realize.

Also could have success if his tight ends and WRs are allowed to pick and push off.

If the tight ends are the key to a big MSU upset, I'll be shocked. The tight ends are USUALLY not game breakers, but ya never know.

MSU will average under 3 yards a carry by everyone other than a possible long scramble increasing Fitz's average.

Guice and Chark will get the ball in space enough to start wearing down the big boys up front for State. Guice runs for 150 and 2 TDs. Chark has 170 all-purpose yards and 2 TDs

LSU wins 38-17 with a late, garbage-time Fitz score on a scramble. The rest of the SEC takes note that LSU no longer sits on small margins in the second half. IMO LSU under O and Canada will shred MSU.
