UGA vs LSU thoughts

First, let's be clear. I am no fan of UGA but am always unbiased in this forum and when predicting sports events. That said. Here goes. Allthough on any given gameday, most any SEC team can beat another, I firmly believe that LSU will win for a few reasons.

• they are both 6-0 against teams both played but LSU outscored those teams 230-44 and UGA outscored trhem by 159-72. significant difference.
• LSU played 6 ranked teams and was 6-0 outscoring these ranked teams 201-81. UGA played 4 ranked teams including the much maligned Ga. Tech and outscored these teams 139-104 going 2-2. significant difference.
• injuries & depth. LSU appears to have an advantage here as well.

How does UGA win you ask? They must protect Murray, They must rush for significantly more than the 86 yards they managed against a weak GT defense., kicking game must be on, win the turnovers ratio.
however it turns out, I expect an exciting game. Are you ready for some football? sorry Hank
