LSU really intrigues me this year. They have a murderous schedule this month, visiting the swamp, and then hosting UGA, Mississippi Aggy and Bama. I think they have a great shot to be undefeated going into the Bama game, assuming they don’t have a letdown against the Gators or Miss St, and assuming home field is the difference in the Georgia game. I think they and Georgia match up pretty evenly, with LSU’s defense being a bit better and Georgia having a little more umph in its offense. I would love to see what an LSU team could do with a high powered, unpredictable offense, much like Bama is sporting this year.
As far as the Bama game goes, if anyone could prove they are human, it’s the Tigers in Death Valley*. I’m not sure they are and would be surprised if they lose this year, but that’s the one game before the playoffs where it would be possible. If LSU goes into that game without a blemish, the atmosphere will be unreal there. It will be anyway but going head to head in a battle of unbeatens will be insane.
And as much as I hate to admit it, it’s hard not to like Coach Mushmouth.
