LSU will be forced to throw some to win the game, but we will be fairly balanced.

Passing yards 195, Rushing yards 180

It ain't the backs and receivers, if you ask me. Both teams have capable RBs, QB's and WR's. The offensive and defensive lines are going to decide this game.

LSU's offensive line has a question mark with OG Livings out with a knee injury. LSU's defensive line is tall, strong, quick, smart, and athletic. I expect the DL to shine on Saturday, as usual.

I think Jimbo will go with a balanced attack. If the LSU offense gets one-dimensional, the Barn is good enough to exploit it.

The O-Line is absolutely the key. In my estimation, offense is 80% O-line play. The best backs, QBs and RBs, look the same behind a bad O-line, flat on their backs in the backfield. My grandmother could have run behind the Nebraska O-Lines of old. Livings being out is a minor obstacle. McGill is quite capable, and Niswanger can play. Even Bull Hurley would be fine, but he needs to keep getting bigger. Peterman is nasty. Whitworth is a mountain. Reed is the wiley veteran. Wilkerson is just a great center who will play in the NFL for many years.

We should be fine.
