LSU at Florida
I hate to disrespect the defending national champions, but are they the Paper Tigers? Two of LSU wins have come over an FCS school and North Texas, maybe the worst team in the FBS (they lost 42-10 to Florida International - at home!)
In the other two games, LSU gave up 21 points to Auburn and 24 points to Mississippi St. Those two teams scored a combined five points against each other earlier last year, and are infamous for their offensive woes this season (Auburn just fired its offensive coordinator).
LSU is still certainly dangerous. They are 24th in rushing offense and 28th in total offense. Charles Scott is seventh in the country in rushing, and the ever-dangerous Trindon Holliday is second in the country in punt returns.
Florida has its own dangerous kick and punt returner in Brandon James, and the Gators would do well to get him some offensive touches as only Percy Harvin and Tim Tebow have show to be consistent threats. Heralded running back Chris Rainey could also use some more action.
Prediction: Florida 25, LSU 22
