Our defense is at its best when we line up in the nickel and play teams that like to play 3-4 WR sets. LSU will be the first power run team that we face this year, and with our depth at LB, the fact that they have the best RB in the nation, and because their Harris can run the ball well too, our defense isn't a good match-up with their offense. I think our defense when playing at its best can slow them down; however, the offense and Grier will need to help the defense out and make plays to win like they did against UT, except hopefully they won't need to convert so many 4th downs. I'm glad they are playing Mizzou on the road the week before. The atmosphere there isn't close to Baton Rouge, but the experience playing on the road will be good for younger players.
Anyways, it is very possible that both teams will be undefeated and in the top 10 by the time the game is played. The winner will probably be moved into the top 5 if LSU isn't there already. This is a huge game for both schools and it will determine if we are legit contenders to win the conference or simply just contenders to win the East, which unfortunately today isn't that impressive.
