I think the LSU game will tell us a lot about the Dawgs. LSU’s offense is meh, but their defense is legit (so far). I’m interested to see the Dawgs o-line versus LSU’s d-line. It will be the best either has faced to that point in the season.
Devin White (ILB #40) was 1st team All SEC in 2017. He is probably the best ILB in the country right now.
IMO, barring injury we will not be challenged in regular season for 4 quarters. We are THAT good. Dec. 1 determines this years national championship winner. Two horse race imo.
Not impressed by Joe Burrow. he doesn't run well or handle pressure all that well. Kind of a carbon-copy of Stidham, who is basically the same. Doesn't run well or handle pressure well. If we can pressure both of them, they'll eff up and we'll beat them.
Also not impressed by Gus Malzahn. Never really have been.....
He had this win, went conservative (an old story with him) and they lost because of it. AU's big RB, Whitlow, is another 'Dancing Bear' type of back who waits for the hole before he takes off. Their other back is a lightweight who just tries to hit the hole fast. Their TEs are the trouble spot to cover.
LSU also has a couple of real tall WRs that Auburn had trouble with. Baker can handle one of them, but who takes care of the other?
That would be unfortunate--to not be challenged in regular season. Hoping we get one or two before the season ends.
Probably similar SOS as Bama. Bama's top games will be LSU and Auburn...same as us. Bama played Louisville in OOC, we play GT. Is TAMU, Ole Miss and MissSt much better than Mizzou, KY, and fla/TN? Don't know yet. At the bottom I'm pretty sure Vandy is way better than Arky. As for the cupcakes...we player AP and MTSU, Bama has Arky St and Citadel.
I guess the point is we will be tested about as much as Bama will be.
LSU has a lack of big offensive weapons. We're all saying that Aurburn's defense is legit, but it might not be this year. LSU didn't look impressive in that game. I don't doubt they'll get hammered by Bama, and when we come to town, it will be much of the same. Our defense is too fast and too physical for them. Their offense is so vanilla. As for their defense, I don't think it's any more special than other defenses I've seen. Our line combined with our backs and Chaney's mind means that our run game will always get something. And Terry will no doubt be healthy by then so Mecole and Terry will add downfield threats to them that will over match. Plus, teams won't be able to break down what our offense will be like once we start throwing it downfield. As of now, it is pretty vanilla and can be opened up any time we need to to.
So to conclude, no they're not "for real" in terms of the playoff or legitimate contenders. Yes, they just beat two top 10 teams, but they can't beat a Georgia, or a Bama, and there's two losses. No spot for them.
I'm hoping both teams roll into that game undefeated.
And then we show them the firepower of our fully armed and operational battle station... (Less any exhaust vent issues)
@law_dawg35 The LSU defense IS, in fact that good. The offense is adequate. Serviceable. The LSU Tiger Stadium crowd (at night, in "Death Valley") AND in front of 100,000 screaming, crazy, & (a large portion of them) might just perhaps be somewhat drunk also??? THAT game right there, on October 13th of this season IS going to be a place where these Georgia Bulldogs can SHOW what they are made of!!!!
GO DAWGS!!!!
Congratulations, sir. You just won the internet for today.
Ain't no womp-rat-sized holes in my game...
I will hold judgement until they play Florida before making my decision on how good LSU really is.
I predict it'll be the CBS game at 3:30 ET (2:30 CT). Hope so. If so, the Crazy Cajuns won't be near as likkered up and rowdy.
No other games that weekend should be 3:30. If they give them a night game it would be because they want to have atmosphere. CBS should want this as their #1 game.
wanna bet.....they will just continue getting likkered up from Friday night
Tyson Campbell is 6' 2.5" and will have played 6 games by the time LSU comes around.
It's funny when you have the #14 passing offense in the conference...and it's considered a huge upgrade over the year before.
I thought both Auburn and LSU looked pretty good, but we simply don't have enough information yet.
Virginia Tech looked world class killing FSU. Now their win looks like a win over a dumpster fire.
My guess is we'll be approaching every SEC game as if our A-Game is required to win. I certainly hope that's the case. Can you imagine Kirby saying, "Boys, we really don't have to play very well to beat the team we'e up against on Saturday. You can just relax this week. It's a gimme."
We'll know soon enough how well we stack up against LSU, but right now I'm concerned about our team. We need to improve for this Saturday's game.
Go, Dawgs!
I seriously doubt Kirby has ever said that.
I believe KY is the dark horse in the SECE this year. They look pretty good. Better not sleep on them for sure.
