Is the LSU D Overrated??
Okay, so here we sit at the mid-point of the season and yet LSU's "dominant" defense ranks near the middle of the SEC in nearly every statistical category.
Total Defense - 9th
Scoring Defense - 9th
Rush Defense - 5th
Pass Defense - 9th
Georgia's rankings:
Total Defense - 3rd
Scoring Defense - 8th
Rush Defense - 1st
Pass Defense - 10th
Here is some additional analysis from ESPN Research:
LSU's usually dominant defense has been somewhat pedestrian through the first half of the season. The Tigers are allowing 21.5 points per game, their highest total after six games since giving up 22.0 per game in 2000 (Nick Saban's first season). LSU also has given up 28.3 points per game in its four SEC contests.

UGA vs. LSU Analysis
So, we have finally arrived...the meat of our SEC schedule is now upon us. First up, the Bengal Tigers of LSU.
This game stands to be a true dog fight. While LSU may have the advantage when it comes to the lines of scrimmage, UGA has the advantage at all of the skill positions. Georgia's young line has been more than servicable the last two weeks as they have given up ZERO sacks.
Since the 1st half of the Bama masacre, Georgia has played some of the best all around football in the league. They went out and scored 30 in the 2nd half against Bama, essentially moved the ball at will against the #1 defense (at the time) of UT, and put up great numbers against Vandy.
So, where does this leave us as we head in to Death Valley?? I believe the Dawgs are ready to breakout. I know if you are a Georgia fan you have heard, probably even said it, "remember 2007, we were mediocre through the first half then caught fire." Well, I truly believe we are in the same boat again, maybe even better this year. Going in to the UF game last year UGA was not leading the league in offense as they are this year. All they have to do is put 7's on the board instead of 3's this Saturday and if they do, they will walk out of Baton Rouge with a W.
My Prediction:
UGA 27 - LSU 13
