LSU vs Georgia Tech
Wednesday, December 31, 7:30
on ESPN
Georgia Dome - Atlanta
Why you should watch:
- SEC vs ACC
- Georgia Tech's run defense is fun to watch
- Either watch this or mingle with people you don't want to talk to at a party
- It's Georgia Tech and LSU!
- You will probably be prepping for a long night of drinking
- There isn't a TV at the party
Streaks and Scheduling Notes:
LSU:
- 7-5 (3-5)
- 9th straight bowl game (6-2)
- Lost 3 of their last 4 games
- 2-2 away from home this season
- 9-3 (5-3)
- 12th straight bowl game (5-5); lost last 3
- Won 3 of their last 4 games
- 3-2 away from home this season
LSU:
- There is absolutely nothing to get excited about on the offensive side of the ball. A very pedestrian offense.
- They can stop the run but aren't as good against the passing game.
- RB Charles Scott has over 1,100 yards and 15 touchdowns on the ground this season.
- DE Rahim Alem is a force on the line. He has 11 tackles for loss, 8 sacks, and 7 quarterback hurries this season.
- They run the ball better than everyone except Navy and Nevada with over 280 yards per game on the ground.
- Their strength on the defensive side of the ball is also the run game. They only allow 116 yards per game.
- RB Jonathan Dwyer has run for over 1,300 yards and 12 touchdowns.
- WR Demaryius Thomas is who they throw to when they throw it. He has 36 receptions for almost 600 yards and 3 touchdowns.
- Defensively they have made 90 tackles for loss this season. Multiple players have made double digit tackles for loss.
Georgia Tech....LSU's strength on defense is (fortunately for them) against the run. But they haven't seen a run offense this good yet. Tech's defense is very aggressive and they will disrupt the Tigers young quarterbacks. Add to all that the fact that this is pretty much a home game for the Jackets and you have your reasons why Tech wins.
