Checking out the NCAA team statistics reveals a startling defensive mismatch. There are 117 teams in Division I. These are the national team rankings: Pass Efficiency Defense -- LSU=#2 State=#116 Scoring Defense -- LSU=#5 State=#109 Total Defense -- LSU=#8 State=#116 State can't stop LSU. We can surely stop State. www.ncaa.com
something else interesting about MSU. Their key position players: Fant, Turner, and Jenkins are some of the top overall statistical players in the SEC (based on Fantasy Football points) Fant is the #2 QB (behind Eli) - Turner is the #3 RB (behind Shaud Williams and Cedric Cobbs) Jenkins in teh #1 WR (and tied for #1 overall statistical SEC player with Manning). Of course, this hasn't added up to many W's on teh field . .but I thought it was interesting. I have a feeling those numbers will drop significantly vs. LSU this weekend.
Yeah one thing that scares me is Miss. St ability to put up some points..They were down 28-0 to both Oregon and Houston and ended up making it respectable only losing by 7-10 in each, granted it probably was against their second team..But I do believe that LSU will be able to limit their Offensive production and win easily LSU 42 MSU 13
