Guys and Girls I have been away for a while but whata great season so far we are having again under CNS, but these predictions are outta control. I agree we win Sat night but we are not scoring 30-40 some points against them. Sip had a nice write up, they have been thinking about this game since last Jan, and even though I think they have one of the worst Offenses of any ranked team, they also have as good of D in the nation. I am a sports better and I can't believe that the line came out us favored by 7 @ lsu considering odds makers usually give the home team 3 points before making the line. Now the spread has moved to 9.5-10 point favor for us. To tell you the truth without wearing my crimson shaded glasses like the majority of you that have picked a score this game scares me to death. It is going to be a blood bath, low scoring, similar to last year with the team making the least mistakes winning. penalties, turnovers, kicking game, both punting and FG's will decide the outcome of this game. We have not faced a Defense like they have all year, their front 4 might be as good as in the country and will be extremely tough to run on, they have 2 first rounders at DE's that will test our tackles on every pass play. The should be undefeated without a doubt, everyone was talking just 2 weeks ago how good Fla was, and they played at the Swamp, and gave the game away in the second half. Yeah they have played downed to their competition several times this year but dont be fooled. This is their BCS game and it is going to take our best effort of the year to come outta baton rouge with a win Sat night. I am thinking it is all going to depend on AJ and making plays in our passing game, just like in the BCS game last year I think we will have to use the pass to set up the Run, not the traditional run to set up passing games we usually play. They have had an extra week to prepare for us and get healthier and work on their Oline. I promise you this will be a great game, I see us coming out with a win by no more than a TD but more than likely a Shelley FG wins this game. I hope I am wrong and we win by the scores a lot of you have posted but I just don't see it. I see a 13-10 win or 17-14 game Sat night. I think it is HUGE for us to come out and score quick and take the lead to keep the crowd not only out of it but for them to play from behind, I still dont think mett is the answer but if we let them hang around they will be able to run it enough to keep this game close. If AJ can come out and we can get a 2 score lead on them, then I think it changes everything, but if it is like the first game last year then I think it will end up like the first game last year, but i think Shelley makes Fg's to win it this year and Foster has to but kickoffs into the endzone Sat night, give it to them at the 25 and make them drive it, don't let them have a chance of making a play on special teams and if it is out of Shelley's range then punt the ball and play Defense. Mettenbeger can't beat us with his arm or drive the football the length of the field, but don't give them a short field were Hill, Ware, Hillard, and Ford can get enough yards to get them into scoring range. This game reminds me so much of the last time Lswho was beat at home at night by the #1 team in the country, fla. The odds from vegas were almost exactly to what they are Sat night and Tebow and the fla ranked #1 at the time beat #4 lswho 13-3 before losing to us in the SECCG. Now the #1 Tide roll in against the #5 who @ night favored by 10 just like fla, and THAT will be my final prediction in a good ole Defensive Battle, TIDE 13-3 or back up pick... 14-10... RTR
