Tim Tucker of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution writes if Georgia's inexperienced O-line will be able to handle the LSU defense... "Richt and others have praised the
line’s recent progress. But the challenge the group faces from LSU will be “very similar,” Richt said, to that posed by Alabama in Georgia’s lone loss." ... Tucker writes how closer-than-expected wins are common in the SEC... "But while routs rule in some leagues, close games dominate in the SEC. Eighteen of the 25 intra-conference games played in the SEC this season — 72 percent — have been decided by 10 points or less." ...
Marc Weiszer of the Athens Banner-Herald writes how the Georgia D-line is getting inside info from a former LSU assistant who is now with the Dawgs... "The senior sought out the inside skinny from Stacy Searels, who coached the LSU offensive line for four seasons from 2003-06 and now is in his second year coaching the same position for the Bulldogs." ...

George Morris of the Baton Rouge Advocate writes how the LSU running back by committee is not led by veteran Keiland Williams... "When the 2008 season open
ed, however, Charles Scott stepped on the field first. And, after taking the first handoff 56 yards, Scott was the committee chairman. And vice chairman. And every other office, including parliamentarian." ... Randy Rosetta of the Baton Rouge Advocate writes how special it is when LSU and Georgia play each other because they are not on the regular rotation... "In Southeastern Conference football, the quirky rotation of Western and Eastern Division matchups — necessitated by the permanent opponent setup — leads to old rivals not seeing each other for years at a time. So when a juicy inter-division game pops up on the schedule, it’s like Uncle Jack is on his way." ...
James Varney of the New Orleans Times-Picayune writes LSU may be shaky at QB, but they have plenty of options elsewhere... "LSU runs jailbreak screens underneath coverage and flanker screens out of five-wide sets. Hatch and Lee often employ a two-handed play-action maneuver -- sometimes deep in the backfield and in obvious passing situations -- reminiscent of a wishbone quarterback faking to the fullback. The Tigers' leading rusher, Charles Scott, has lined up as a tailback in some sets and a fullback in others. Tailback Richard Murphy has taken direct snaps, and both he and Keiland Williams are receiving targets." ...
