“Temporary Cranial Flatulence” Infects the LSU Defense

The Gator defense is young but quick.  The LSU offensive line is huge and among the best corps in the nation.  They allowed freshman quarterback Jarrett Lee plenty of time to pick Auburn apart in their second half comeback on the plains.

 

Florida’s defense will have to put pressure on Lee, but more importantly, they will have to stop LSU running back Charles Scott.  Scott has gained over 100 rushing yards in every game this season.

 

LSU’s defense has already (in so many words) stated their intention to go after Tebow, but they have not exactly put up stellar numbers in the secondary.  If not addressed, this could be a major problem since they will be facing the top wide receiver in the nation, Percy Harvin.  The Tigers will have to double team Harvin while keeping the pressure on Tebow, which will not be an easy task.

 

Ole Miss was able to beat Florida by keeping their offense on the field and eventually wearing down the Gator defense.  I can’t believe I’m suggesting that LSU should adopt a game plan from Ole Miss, but hey...whatever works!

 

LSU 28, Florida 24
