LSU and Florida meet in pivotal SEC clash
(Sports Network) - In one of the most anticipated matchups of the weekend, the fifth-ranked Florida Gators welcome the ninth-ranked LSU Tigers to The Swamp for an SEC battle. LSU has dominated four of its five opponents this season, winning by a combined score of 187-30. One of those routs occurred this past weekend, as the Tigers rolled to a 48-17 decision over SEC foe Mississippi State. Their lone loss thus far came at Auburn by a 7-3 final in one of the most well-played defensive battles in college football this season. As for Florida, it remains a major contender for the national championship, having won its first five games of the season. The Gators have four double- digit triumphs to their credit, including a 28-13 decision over Alabama last weekend. With LSU, Auburn and Georgia, in succession, left on the schedule, it can be argued with great validity that Florida faces the toughest three-game stretch of any team this season. If the Gators can win all three, they should and will be considered the favorites to win it all. Florida holds a 27-22-3 edge in the all-time series with LSU, but the Tigers posted a hard-fought 21-17 triumph at home last season.LSU is averaging 38 ppg and 412.0 total ypg, impressive numbers that can be credited in large part to the play of the club's quarterback. JaMarcus Russell is a star, and the proof is in the numbers. He has completed 70.4 percent of his throws for 1,246 yards with 10 touchdowns and only one interception. He is a proven big-game performer who has led the Tigers to a number of late victories throughout his career. Sure, his offense sputtered in the low- scoring loss to Auburn, but Russell remains one of the best at the position in the nation. Charles Scott leads a tremendously deep backfield with 214 rushing yards and five touchdowns, while Jacob Hester has reached the end zone four times. Craig Davis paces the receivers with 25 catches, but Early Doucet is tops with four touchdowns. Against Mississippi State last weekend, Russell threw for a career-high 330 yards in what was a near perfect effort. Not only did he throw three touchdowns with no interceptions, the standout signal caller completed 18-of-20 passes, including a school record-tying 14 in a row at one point. Davis posted six catches for 101 yards and a score, while Doucet and Dwayne Bowe both scored as well.
LSU leads the nation in total defense, as opponents are only gaining an average of 193.4 ypg. The Tigers are also second among Division I-A teams in scoring defense, limiting opponents to 7.4 ppg. The fact that the defense has surrendered only three touchdowns in 20 quarters of football speaks to its dominance. Foes are gaining a mere 2.3 yards per rushing attempt and 10.2 yards per pass completion. With nine interceptions, there has been no shortage of big plays made. Also worthy of mention is that opponents have made good on only 27 percent of their third down conversion attempts against LSU. Darry Beckwith has made 30 total tackles to pace the Tigers, while Glenn Dorsey and Tyson Jackson have six TFLs to their credit. In fact, Jackson has 5.5 of the club's 19 sacks, the fifth-best total in the nation. Of the 17 points that Mississippi State scored last week, one of the touchdowns came on an interception return by the defense. The Tigers were tough as usual, posting five sacks while limiting the Bulldogs to 14 net rushing yards.
Florida quarterback Chris Leak is being mentioned for Heisman consideration, but in the first quarter against Alabama last week he fumbled a ball that was returned for a touchdown. Fortunately, Leak rebounded to complete 14-of-20 passes for 174 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. Andre Caldwell and Dallas Baker, the top two receivers on the team, both reached the end zone. As for the ground attack, DeShawn Wynn led the way with 50 yards on 12 carries. The Gators posted 330 total yards, helping them overcome a pair of lost fumbles. Through five outings, Florida is averaging 30.2 ppg and 438.4 total ypg. Leak has been stellar as expected, as he has completed 64.6 percent of his throws for 1,240 yards and 14 touchdowns against only four interceptions. Baker has five scores on 27 catches, while Caldwell has reached the end zone three times. As for Wynn, who is somewhat overshadowed in this offense, he has 354 rushing yards thanks to a healthy average of 5.5 ypc. Unfortunately, he twisted his knee against 'Bama and his status for this contest is questionable. Florida has made good on over 50 percent of its third down conversion attempts this season, impressive to say the least.
Alabama scored just one touchdown against Florida last weekend, and that score came on a fumble return as mentioned. The fact that the Gator defense limited the Tide offense to a pair of field goals is impressive. Florida did a tremendous job of containing the run, as it surrendered 83 yards on 30 attempts. The fact that the Gators had three sacks totaling 33 yards in losses certainly contributed to the strong stats. Perhaps the biggest key to victory for Florida was that it intercepted three passes, one of which was returned by Reggie Nelson for a score. That 70-yard scamper by Nelson crushed any hope of an Alabama comeback late in the fourth quarter. Florida ranks fourth nationally in scoring defense, as it is surrendering only 9.4 ppg. The Gators are also 13th in total defense (248.0 ypg), and they have excelled against both the run and the pass. Opponents are averaging only 50.2 ypg on the ground and 2.0 ypc with one rushing touchdown in five games. Against the pass, Florida has registered eight interceptions with just three touchdowns allowed. It comes as no surprise that Brandon Siler leads the Gators with five TFLs.
Expect this game to come down to the wire, as the Gators and Tigers are evenly matched. The deciding factor will be the home field advantage, so go with Florida.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Florida 17, LSU 13
