Game of the Week
Tigers/Gators Part 3!
#8 Florida @ #1 LSU
Season 1 Results ~ Week 7 (in Gainesville) #2 Florida 38, #12 LSU 28
SEC Championship Game #6 LSU 41, #1 Florida 35
One of the RUTS Dynasty's (powered by BRUT) biggest rivalries is renewed again this week. It's the #8 Florida Gators traveling to the Bayou to take on the #1 ranked LSU Tigers. These two teams met twice last season, each one winning once, and this week's showdown promises to be equally as exciting.
Since losing its season opener at #2 Clemson, the Gators have reeled off 4 consecutive blowout victories and new QB Cameron Newton has made himself at home behind center. He'll be challeneged by a relentless LSU defense and a noisy home crowd at Tiger Stadium. Stud WR Percy Harvin, who burnt the Tigers deep time after time last season in Atlanta, will be called upon to work his game-changing magic yet again.
LSU's offense is much improved since season one, with dynamic speed all over the field. The backfield of Keiland Williams, Trindon Holliday, and Bo Outlaw, along with blazing wideouts Terrance Tolliver and Brandon LaFell have LSU's offense leading the nation in points per game, at 65.5. Efficient QB Jarrett Lee leads the RUTS Dynasty(powered by BRUT) in Td passes and fewest INTs (23 TDs, 2 INTs) and will need another solid performance to earn LSU the win.
There will be lightning speed all over the field in Tiger Stadium, and both teams highlight players with 90+ speed at countless positions. A loss for either team doesn't necessarily eliminate either from the national title picture, but a Florida loss would make it a steep uphill climb to make it back near the top of the polls come seasons end.
Both LSU fans and Florida fans alike will be fired up for this one. The Gators have a good feeling they'll be leaving Tiger Stadium with their heads held high, singing their fight song, while LSU faithful, regardless of the outcome will still be drunk off their minds and smelling like corndogs. What a game!
