Anything is possible, but no, I do not think we will win Saturday. I didn’t think we’d beat Alabama either, but the idea that it can’t POSSIBLY be a competitive game is just silly. It was silly before last weekend too. On any given Saturday, anything can happen in the SEC, unless you are playing a team like Vanderbilt or Kentucky. But again, after getting blown out at home, I don’t see the true freshman backup starting his first game at one of the hardest places in the country to play pulling out the big upset.[/quote]
Lol @ drunk. So jelly. It can definitely be competitive. Florida’s front 7 had better learn how to hold their gaps FAST though. I know Bama has a bruising O-Line but they played overly aggressive and undisciplined… like a young defense.
Beating LSU would definitely be a big statement, though. Florida is by no means out of the SEC race, considering someone is going to come out a loser between LSU/Bama and there is a conference championship to be played. You’re right, though, it’s a damn shame we have to go into Death Valley, lol.

I’m not sure I’m ready to annoint LSU’s defense as better than Bama’s nor am I willing to say the reverse. Right now I think both of those teams look really freaking similar.
Stong D, run first O and weakest at QB.
Should make for a hell of a game, last three games have had an average margin of victory of six points and I’m betting than whoever wins that will hold true this time. [/quote]
Definitely, it’s going to be an insane game. I do like Bama in the match-up. I think Trent Richardson may very well be the next AP (big claim, I know,) but he’s a monster and Marquese Maze (sp?) is starting to become a very dynamic player - a la Percy Harvin/Randall Cobb.
I think the LSU may unquestionably have the most talented front 4 in the nation, but I like speedy, smart and disciplined linebackers at Bama a little bit more.
Plus, Les Miles will not luck his way into winning against Nick Saban. Not gonna happen.
