about this game. This is a big one. The outcome of the season could really hinge on this game. This is the toughest team we have left on the schedule IMO, so if LSU can win this game I would be confident that we have a great shot at winning out and making it to the SEC Championship game, probably get another crack at the Gaytors, and then who knows from there.

I still believe that on most Saturdays, Georgia is the better team than Alabama, though the Bama game is certainly our second toughest left.

I think a win tomorrow puts that Florida game way back in the rear view mirror and sets us up for a late season run.

if our team comes out to play and fires on all cylinders! Dude! we have the potential ot embarras them.

agree that the tide could swing the other way, but this is much better being at home also!

We can't let Georgia get out on top early. We need to keep them in some 3rd and long situations and get them in must pass situations to get our pass rush going. If they get out of the gates early with a decent lead, then they'll eat us up with knowshawn. Our O needs to keep our defense off the field and energized.

Slow and steady wins the race for the Tigers.

This is what I'm really afraid of. Our slow starts make me nervous, and this is a game we definitely don't want to dig ourselves a hole in early.

I think if we go into half up or tied, we win.

I don't know shite BUT I just really think that playing at HOME, in TIGER STADIUM will be a HUGE factor ... a comfort zone for our players, qbs especially.

We just gotta get TS rocking! EARLY!

Tons of our top prospects will be at the game as well. It's important that we don't stink.

I think Georgia will keep it close until half-time...but for some reason, and I don't know what Les tells them in the locker room at half-time, the tigers come out a different team for the 2nd half. I think the crowd will set the tone for the tigers on this on. They are gonna need a loud stadium. Geaux Tigers!!!!

I'm praying for a fast start from lsu. I'm nervous too. It all depends on the overall improvement by the entire team since the UF game.

Hate to play devil's advocate here, but think about this:

When is the last SECOND game that LSU STARTED strong?

Kinda scares me.

I think the Alabama game means more, thus I am more nervous for that one..

I disagree. I think the whole season hinged on last week. We passed that test and dominated in the second half, which will give us tons of confidence in ourselves this week. Now, we get 5 of 6 at home the rest of the way.

Of those, the only two we are in real danger of losing are Georgia and Alabama. (I still think we'll win both.)

If we win both, we're playing in Atlanta.
If we win one, we'll play at worst in the Capital One Bowl
If we lose both, we'll play in the Cotton Bowl, and finish the season 10-3.

The "worst case" at this point is the expected case from many fans and predictors, so everything the rest of the way is gravy!

big dog, no need to be nervous, hell I'm excited, LSU has homefield throughout, those teams must come to Tiger stadium. there is nothing special about Ga. or Ala, we know what they do, just stack the line and go get'em, in Ga.'s case Moreno and Stafford, for Alabama, it's JPW, you turn the heat up on him and he can't do nothing, just like last year.
