LSU Tigers looking elite versus Texas A&M

The Georgia Bulldogs will face off against the LSU Tigers in the 2019 SEC Championship Game next week. LSU has been one of the most impressive teams in the country this season. Joe Burrow and the Tigers have been impossible to stop.

Georgia will have it’s hands full, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Can Jake Fromm and company score enough to keep up with LSU’s high scoring attack?

Georgia’s biggest weakness on defense is their passing defense. Georgia will hope to make the Tigers one-dimensional. LSU has looked far more impressive against Texas A&M than Georgia did. LSU dominated in the first half and went up 31-0.

Georgia will also be without some key players against LSU. Jake Fromm will miss George Pickens in the first half and Lawrence Cager, but LSU’s defense may be softer than most defenses in the SEC.

The path to the playoff is simple for UGA: beat LSU. It’s easier said than done. The undefeated Tigers will be Georgia’s biggest test of the season. Georgia will need big performances from the secondary and pass rush. Kirby Smart and company must disrupt Joe Burrow, who is on pace to win the Heisman and set the FBS completion percentage record.
