The LSU tigers played a very mediocre team this weekend in the Tulane Greenwave,preparing themselves for a showdown with the Florida Gators in Death Valley. LSU started this game very poorly with penalties being the main factor that the game was so close in the first half. If LSU starts off slowly and has that many penalties against Fla. it will be a long day for LSU and Tiger fans alike. Fla. is a much better team than the Greenwave and will be a huge test for them. The defending champs will come into this game with something to prove. Until beaten they are the Champions and that pride could carry them a long way in this game. Fla runs a very efficient offense that can score in bunches, if LSU doesn't bring it's A game.The offensive line for LSU was aweful in the Tulane game with plenty of false starts. But the Defense kept the Greenwave under control and in the second half the Offense got it going. So here are my five reasons LSU will win this game next weekend.
1) LSU's Defense is just to damn tough. between the D-line and a damn good secondary Fla. will not have much time to pass the ball forcing Fla. QB Tim Tebow to make mistakes throwing.
2) Tebow will not be able to run the ball like he has thus far this season against teams with considerably weaker Defenses than LSU's
3) LSU will be able to exploit the young secondary of Fla. with some speedy recievers.
4) LSU will be able to also run the ball very well against the Gators always having fresh legs in the game with the many talented backs they have.
5) If Ryan Perilloux starts this game and finishes it. He is a much better QB than Matt Flynn and is more mobile.
nevertheless Fla. is a very good team and LSU better be ready. The gators are not coming to lose this game but ultimately will find themselves in that position. Either way this will be a very exciting game to watch for anyone who is a coll. football fan.
I think it will be a good game. But ultimately our defense just can't play for four quarters and Tebow can't carry the team forever. Best wishes for a good game!
Lsu has a good defense,but they havent played a team with a decent offense yet. Its still to early to tell. the offense didnt look to good against tulane, and everyone but lsu fans know that tulane isnt a very good team.

Well, we finally saw a defense shut Tebow down with Auburn. And we all knew about our young secondary. I was waiting for one of our boys to step in front of one of Cox's passes and take it to the house.
Should be an awesome contest. I hope our boys come out there with a chip on their shoulders. I'm fully expecting to hear Auburn chants.
Well Rev. I actualy thought you guys were going to win when you tied it at 17. but hey it happens. thats what makes the SEC one of the most exciting and difficult Conf. to play in. As for the Aub.chants be prepared LSU and a game in Death Valley is a wonderful experiance. Be sure to fill me in on the time you had here. Goodluck
I Was Thinking That USC Beating Washington Was A Upset Of The Week ,Somebody needs to tell them Stanford, and Notre Dame Are Not Respected Power Houses This Year Either!
LSU's offense needs to be far better than the past weeks. Flynn has missed more check down recievers and it has been ugly. On the defense Tebow will get some yards and look for Florida to run some naked screens and bubbles and they will drag the TE over the middle like they have done before. It gets 5-6 yards almost every time. The negative is that if dback is ready he can take one to the house.
Specail teams Florida has the advantage and that bothers me because on punts there have been 3 times they almsot got to the punter.
Bayoudog- I think after the way Fla. beat Lsu last year they will be ready for that. The gators need to come with a different game plan or else it's going to be ugly for them. besides last year we played in the swamp but this year they come to Death Vlley for a night game, we both know that does not boast well for Fla.
I'm a 33 yr old guy who has been a big fan of sports most my life. I love sports from in and around my city of New orleans. I am also a huge L.A.
