Hmmmm, interesting stats, eh? Rushing offense, total offense, and scoring offense shows large disparities. On the defensive side, rushing defense shows biggest disparity. LSU crowds the box and challengs GMac to pass, reducing their available coverage players. We have great receivers and I believe GMac gets his mojo back this week. Also, we won't back down on the running game and it will wear them down. In addition, our base rush defense is strong enough to shut down Scott, leaving available backfield to defend against the pass. We have better DBs and the pass rush rattles Jefferson. We are coming off a bye. So.....
