4. LSU offense lacks balance and that will be the nail in its coffin

The Georgia Bulldogs rank seventh overall in total defense so far this season. LSU, just for comparison, sits at No. 34 in that category. However, and this is my opinion, it will be lack of balance in the Tigers offense that really kills them against Georgia on Saturday afternoon in Baton Rouge.

We saw that lack of balance in a big way against the Florida Gators. Joe Burrow is not the best passer in the world, or even anywhere close to that. He is good at scrambling around, looking for a first down, but when a good defense is able to shut that down- the Tigers run into big time trouble.

In my opinion, they rely too much on the running game of their quarterback and senior running back Nick Brossette. Both are talented and can get the job done, However, the Georgia defense who has carried them through a stressful season of their offense sleep walking through game after game, can just as easily shut down the rushing attack and force Burrow to throw the ball.

Overall, Georgia allows 4.52 yards on average per play. I don’t see LSU getting what they need when Joe Burrow is forced to throw under pressure like he will be against Georgia. Sorry, Tigers, you may have home field advantage but that won’t mean much if your offense can’t execute.
