Is LSU ideally suited for this UGA team?

Richt's teams generally perform their best when they are out of the spotlight or dismissed as incapable of greatness. However, give them accolades and throw roses at their feet and the wheels can fall off.

Sure, UGA is favored on Saturday, but LSU is still the #4 team in the nation. And the general feeling is that Georgia is completely off the national radar. That's a good thing for the Dawgs. They need to get pissed off. They need to feel disrespected. They need to get mean.

If UGA stops turning the ball over, it could start mauling opponents offensively. On the flip side of that equation, if LSU's Charles Scott gets going and the anemic LSU rushing attack gets rolling, they could justify their lofty ranking.

NOLA.com put up a story last night about the offensive problems of the Tigers. It's a good read. Here's the stats from NCAA.com to consider:

LSU's Offense:

Category	National Rank	Actual	Conf Rank
Rushing Offense	74	130.25	10
Passing Offense	90	179.75	7
Total Offense	105	310.00	12

UGA's Defense:

Category	National Rank	Actual	Conf Rank
Rushing Defense	42	112.75	6
Total Defense	67	355.75	11
Scoring Defense	95	29.75	11
Pass Defense	90	243.00	11

You know those games where someone says "it's strength on strength." This ain't that. This is weakness on weakness.
