2) This team could be dangerous, kind of like a wounded animal, never knowing what will happen.

 

 

 

UGA

 

Georgia has had the week off to lick their wounds following the Alabama game. If they want any hope of making it to Atlanta, it starts with doing things right this weekend, as they enter their toughest stretch of the year, having to face Vandy, LSU, and Florida in the next three weeks.

 

I don’t see Richt letting this one get away, though it could be closer than some want to think.

Game of the Week: LSU vs. Florida

 

LSU

 

I have seen this LSU team play in person once this season. I was impressed with their depth, but I was unimpressed with their intensity at times, particularly to start the game.

 

I was impressed with their smart play, but I was unimpressed with the way they gave up way too many big plays that should have never happened.

 

They are the defending champions, which could put a lot of pressure on them to keep the wins coming.

 

 

 

Florida

 

Florida has already tasted the agony of defeat this season. Their response to it is yet to be determined, having only faced the miserable Arkansas Razorbacks.

 

Tebow has seemed to be their only option on offense much of this season, which helps defenses focus and shut down the Gator attack.

 

Percy Harvin needs to help, but so do other players, whoever they are on the offensive side of the ball.

 

Well, I couldn’t imagine the Gators losing two in a row at home, nor to the Tiger team that edged them out last year.

 

I think these are two evenly matched teams in a lot more ways than people realize.

 

In Baton Rouge I give this one to LSU, but in the Swamp I have to give the edge to...
