UGA is holding teams to 65% of their season rushing average and 76% of their passing average, which are both elite numbers. In contrast, LSU holds teams to 83% of their rushing average and 92% of their passing.
Let's say this plays out.
Here's what the stats would look like:
LSU
Passing: 290
Rushing: 114
Total: 404
UGA:
Passing: 197
Rushing: 161
Total: 358
LSU averages 11.8 yards per point, so with 404 total yards, that translates to roughly 34 points.
UGA averages 13.5 yards per point, so with 358 total yards, that translates to roughly 26 points.
LSU wins 34-26.
I think what this shows is that UGA is going to have to get a big turnover or two.

That is correct. LSU is still predicted to win, but that wasn’t the topic. The topic was UGA’s defense wasn’t as good as advertised and that is incorrect. Here’s the breakdown video if you’re curious. LINK

I don't think you'd find many UGA fans who would have issue with that projection. The problem comes from the morons saying LSU is going to drop 50 and UGA won't score more than 14.

That seems like a reasonable prediction if both teams play their normal game. UGA needs an unusual performance on offense or a few mistakes by LSU to win this game. LSU fans seem to think it’ll be a 3 score LSU win
