SEC Championship Prediction Pick, Georgia vs. LSU, 2011

If a reader thinks I’m being a hater on LSU? I am not. This LSU team is amazing. Between the four-pronged backfield, a de-Crowtoned Jordan Jefferson, the interesting receivers, the deep defensive line, and the ballhawking secondary? LSU is awesome. Some podcasts say LSU minus everything.

So this is the dilemma, these games have become boring if you cannot yourself into the opponent beating them. You need a lot to beat them. Balance on offense, roughly a good break a quarter, and no turnovers. For roughly a half, Arkansas had that. Does Georgia have that for longer?

In aspect one? A healthy Isaiah Crowell is a rather large point for Georgia having that all important balance. The passing game has been efficient in general, and Malcolm Mitchell seems like he’s got a chance to follow the A.J. Green path. They can show the balance needed to stay alive.

Aspect two? Georgia can make breaks as well. They actually have more turnovers than LSU does. And that balanced offense? It comes with a defense that is a whole lot better than Arkansas. As I’ve said previously, Georgia is the underrated great defense in college football. They’re 6th against the run and 11th against the pass. Arkansas was nowhere near that level.

But that being said? Georgia is not great at eliminating giving their opponents breaks. They’re not terrible. But when we’re under the supposition that LSU could finish 2nd in the AFC South? Being tied for 46th is where the achilles heel will strike Georgia down.

I mean, really. Georgia isn’t going to win this game. I love them. They’re a good team. And some random B1g Ten team is going get destroyed by them. But they do not have enough to hang with LSU beyond a potential cover.

Because LSU is great. No one denies this.

LSU 28, Georgia 10.
