FLORIDA FOOTBALL: FOOD FOR A MAN'S SOUL
LSU Premonitions
I found it interesting that over at LSUFootball analyst did a quite preview of the UF-LSU game on Saturday and predicted the score to be . . . . LSU 28, UF 24. Click here for complete post.
Some of his other predictions
1) Florida’s lack of a running game (besides tebow) will become exposed.
Actually, Florida’s starting running back had one of his best games ever gaining 79 yards in the game. Many of them hard earned in the center of that vaunted LSU defense. Florida rushed for 156 yards which isn’t a great total but more than 3 times what LSU averages per game and close to what LSU had allowed in TOTAL yardage per game.
2) Our secondary will get tested, but will do okay despite.
Tebow threw for 158 yards and 2 touchdowns which is about 100 below his season average. All in all their secondary DID get tested and gave up a couple big plays but did rather well and proved themselves one of the best in the nation.
3) Matt Flynn and our four headed running back beast will expose Florida’s defense as a team that scheduled a bunch of all-girls schools for the deaf and blind this year.
LSU did run for over 250 yards and three touchdowns averaging almost 5 yards per carry. That’s the best rushing effort against the Gators this year. As for the scheduling statement . . . no comment.
4) Tebow turns the ball over at least 2 times.
Actually Tebow only had ONE turnover on an interception in the 4th quarter but Florida did have two turnovers as Kestahn Moore fumbled at the end of the 3rd Quarter.
And of course the clincher “I think LSU wins this one 28-24.”
Pretty good pregame assessment if you ask me.

When I was driving into Baton Rouge, I passed a restaurant that had their predicted score on their front message board. Their guess: LSU 28, UF 24. I drove by that and thought, “Yeah, I’ll take that score.”

I was very happy with the way the game went. We have confirmed LSU to be a beast but not the invincible beast of yore. We now know that we play as tough as they do and that we could have/should have beaten them. By the time we run the table against the SEC East and play LSU again in the championship our true and redshirt freshman will then be playing as if they were a year older.
Someone give me a scenario where the BCS committee takes a 2 lose Gator team for the championship game.
