(4) LSU 20 - (20) Georgia 13 : Now we're talking. This little SEC dust-up ended nicely for the Bayou Bengals. LSU overcame shaky offensive line work in the passing game to sneak by UGA in Athens. LSU's defense was looked stout as Joe Cox and the Bulldogs couldn't get much going for the first 3 quarters. But a late push by Georgia gave the Bulldogs the lead late. 13 - 12, kill the clock right? Not so. UGA proceeded to throw a pick to give LSU the ball back with good field position late. RB Charles Scott then scampered for a 33 yard TD to give the Tigers the lead with virtually no time left.
What we learned? LSU hasn't won a pretty game yet, but they have won them all. That's definitely worth something (a number 4 ranking). But the offensive line giving up 6 sacks to Georgia almost seems like that would equate to about 10 for Florida. They better shore up that O-line because Jordan Jefferson is going to get all the pressure he can handle, and then some.
This sets up a wild night in Baton Rouge on Saturday with the Gators. I'll be watching this one. I wish I could go to this one.
*Side note: The unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Georgia WR A.J. Green after his late touchdown was B.S. Much like Jake Locker's penalty last year it was one that had an impact on the outcome of the game and it shouldn't have. Let's not turn this into the NBA or MLB where the refs are a sideshow who think that they are part of the game.
