Yup, the A&M game is more relevant than the AU game now. It shouldn't be totally discredited, but it was over a month ago.

Agreed , but not the argument being presented. How does that manifest this Saturday, and how has it manifested this season?


It tells me Swift is more dangerous, especially with how stingy the UGA D is against the run.

I would place a large bet on Swift outgaining CEH on Saturday.

I don't say that to diminish CEH...dude is fun to watch and is perfect for that offense. I just think he'll become a non-factor Saturday....the game will be in Burrows hands.

Why LSU is optimistic

1) Experience in multiple big games this year including beating Bama at their place.
2) The best offense with the best QB, WR’s and dual threat RB in the nation.
3) A healthy defense, with a season of games under their belt for the reserves who have played a lot with the injuries of the starters.
4) A Defense fighting to prove itself to the nation and one that just had its best game of the year
5) GA offense has been bad over the past 6 SEC games. This same offense is down 2 or 3 players.
6) GA doesn’t play well if they get a lead and doesn’t have the offense to come from behind if LSU gets rolling.

I expect GA to slow us down some but not enough to win. This is just what the Doctor ordered. LSU needs a convincing win to secure the #1 seed. I think they do just that this Saturday.

Well that's just not true.

Against our common opponents (Vandy, UF, AU, and A&M) here's how Swift and CEH did:

Swift:
77 carries, 442 yds, 5.7ypc, 0 TD

CEH:
71 carries, 463 yds, 6.5ypc, 5 TD

These two aren't playing in a vacuum, they are playing as part of a team. Against common opponents, Swift is not more dangerous than CEH.

Want to do totals for the year?

Swift:
193 carries, 1203 yards, 6.2ypc, 7 TD

CEH:
182 carries, 1233 yards, 6.8ypc, 16 TD

Help me understand how swift is "more dangerous."

I tend to believe the game to be rather close, with LSU winning margin of 8 to 10 points, despite last year's outcome and LSU's progression on Offense

Reasons to be optimistic

1. You have a great defense.
2. You have a good quarterback.

Even when you lose, the future looks pretty good for the program.

the best reason for UGA to be optimistic is they have the best defense in the conference. I thought that may be Auburn but after an untested backup qb put up 335 yards and 4 tds, I don't think so. UGA also has a better offense than Auburn, and yes, the Alabama defense sucks. So with a better offense and defense than Auburn, and the fact the LSU vs AU game was 23-20 or something like that, UGA has a good chance to win. I agree, though, that LSU should be favored.

Since Tua is out and severely injured, Burrow may be the best qb in the nation, though Lawrence and Fields are contenders in that category. Alabama, though, still has the best receivers in the nation, and the NFL draft will show that.

Also Pickens, D-Rob, Blaylock, Zeus, and Herrian are all legit threats for the offense.

Pickens is out at least the first half. Georgia. I kinda hope Georgia sneaks by LSU in the SEC championship game. LSU is in the playoffs either way. Then in a rematch we all know LSU would beat UGA 54-14.

Georgia isn’t man enough to win a Natty. Never have and never will in my 37 years on Earth.

Because our run defense is a lot better then yalls. Swfit doesn't have to run against a defense that allows under 100 yards per game and has only allowed 1 rushing TD all season.

Saturday Swfit will be more dangerous

UGA has the Les Miles offense....even if they hold LSU to 35, UGA will not be able to keep up.

Of course you will feel that way and I will have my opinion.

Stats for the year, even before Tua's injury, were better for Burrow, especially on passes over 10 yds. Burrow's completion percentage compared to Tua in that category were much better. His yds, td's and completion percentage overall were better and this was against tougher competition.

Your receivers are fantastic, but Smith and Jeudy's production in yds and tds does not match Chase and Jefferson.

Tua, Smith and Jeudy will have a chance to have great careers in the NFL. But this year, they have been outperformed by the Tigers.

OP. Too long to read. I’ll just say that LSU fans look at Kirby and see Les Miles. Normally a better team beats Les Miles but sometimes he gets lucky. I think the LSU O will be too much. Add in everyone saying LSU D sucks. Advantage LSU.

You are touting playoff experience from 2 years ago. How many starters from the 2017 team still around? Why not look to a more recent example of how the teams matched up in 2018? Does 36-16 ring a bell?
