O and Ensminger are old school. I expect them to come out and try to use the power run game to control the clock and keep Tua off the field. I am much more interested in how we do against that than I am worried about Burrow.
Me too. LSU is going to try to control the clock with small ball. Just nickel & dime their way down the field. I mean, that's time-tested way to beat a high octane offense with gamechangers like Tua. I even think LSU will try a fake or onsides in order to steal a possession.
Part of me wants to shock & awe early with a few quick scoring plays to get LSU out of their gameplan. I'll take it, but I also think that as long as we move the ball early and control the tempo of the game, we'll be fine. UGA's mistake was not taking the points when they faked the FG. A FG there would've calmed things down and caused LSU (and the crowd) to settle in. Just survive the first few possessions when LSU is foaming at the mouth and then start making their arse quit.
The last thing Burrow wants is to get into a track meet against Tua.

Pretty good breakdown. LSU will absolutely try to control every bit of that clock. We need our Def to stop them and get some punts.

UGA's mistake was repeatedly trying to beat LSU through the air well after it had become clear that it wasn't going to happen and despite the fact that Holyfield and Swift were killing them on the ground. It doesn't get a lot worse than Jim Chaney's playcalling in that game. That was some Sark level bullshite.
