Ok boys and girls, another top ten matchup against the 5th ranked kittens. Another win and Florida will FINALLY get the recognition it deserves and dare say the CFP whispers.
LSU is led by Joe Burrow and the offense has changed dramatically. No longer a 65% run first base...LSU has adopted the air raid type offense. They don't have a strong run game and will air it out often.
Imo this plays right into our wheelhouse, where our defense can come after the QB early and often and our DBs can be felons stealing passes. But I think LSU will slow things down some this week cause O knows he has to run more to beat us...even if the runs aren't much, it keeps Joe Burrow upright a little more.
This series is usually a close hard fought game with margin of victory slim. But I could see where LSU turnovers could tip the scales and we flex our muscle. I don't think most Gator fans understand how much talent we have on defense.
I am reminded of an incident Thursday night when I was leaving a Publix and in the parking lot a guy was walking out of the store with a Gator shirt on. I said to him from a short distance "you ready for the big game Saturday?" His reply? "No, not really...they have a top defense and it scares me". It was like gloom and doom. I yelled out to him "hey we have a defense too" but he was almost in his car by then...finch was that you?

We do have a great defense, but so does LSU. They don't have the horses up front that Auburn has, but they have the best secondary we will face all year, imo. I like our chances if we can limit our turnovers. This will be a big time environment similar to the 2007 game. Many LSU fans still say that was the craziest they have ever seen it at Tiger Stadium. Let the big Gator eat!

Texas and who else have they played? They got lit up for 360 yds in a big 12 game and are awful on defense.
Murderers row: Utah State, Ga Southern, Northwestern State, Vandy and Tejas.
Come on...don't be fooled by their stats. Joey aint going to have all night to throw deep. Going to have Gators in his face. Our defense is very fast and gaps close quickly as baby nix found out.

They will score though. We have to find at least 24 points on offense to have a shot. On a neutral field we do that easily on them. Issue is...not a neutral field. That crowd noise will have a very big effect on our Oline. I already expect 5-7 false starts, all from Delance.

OL will use hand signals. No problem.

Lets get this rolling. Any of you handwringing and getting white knuckles need to follow another sport.
Again...we almost ALWAYS play well in red stick, screw the damn felines. One down and two more to go and after Saturday night...one more bites the Jax turf.

It's absolutely pointless to talk on the Score Board -- we won't be talking football which is why we're here to begin with. They basically made the Score Board so everyone could go crazy.
I'm looking forward to this game.
Kinda.

It’s almost that time.

Pretty good start from the D!
Posted on 10/12/19 at 7:16 pm to finchmeister08
That was a waste of a timeout.
Posted on 10/12/19 at 7:20 pm to olemc999
Is there ever a game where the opposing team doesn't just tackle our receivers?
Posted on 10/12/19 at 7:21 pm to olemc999
That was a bad position of calls . Trask arm is to weak for deep passes . Then the run play and the wasted time out.

Trask has been fine all year, he has no lack of arm strength and that's been said by multiple experts.
We're just in for a long game if we're going to see another Auburn game of just wrap up the receiver before the ball gets there.

This musical QB stuff in the Red Zone, not a fan.

My phone can’t keep up with Score Board right now.
