How does everyone see this game going? LSU isn't playing the best football right now, but they are still finding a way to win games. Without Tebow I think that the advantage goes to LSU (John Chavis will put pressure on Brantley early and often). However, if Tebow can play (and Meyer is willing to let him run the football like usual, this game starts to lean heavily in favor of Florida. So what does everyone think?

 

My Predictions.

 

With Tebow... UF:27 LSU:10

Without Tebow... LSU:17 UF:14

 

(Reason for more LSU points when Florida plays without Tebow: UF still hasn't shown me that it can run the football this year without Tebow carrying the load. With that being said, if UF can't run the football well and often I see LSU getting more plays off and scoring an extra TD).

Isn't "LSU, only if Tebow can't play" and "UF, only if Tebow is healthy" the same thing?

Haha, why yes it is. Sorry about that one, kind of made it on the fly.

I say UF wins either way. I don't think LSU will be able to get very many points on UF. They will need some big plays.

I really don't know. Even without Tebow airing it out offensively. The gators are still eating it up on the ground. Not sure on the stats but i'd say over 200 ypg on the ground. But Tebow accounts for alot of that. It's to early in the week. Georgia won that ballgame today against LSU I don't care what anyone says. That BS celebration penalty kept them out of the W. To many things factor into this one. I see LSU pulling an upset without Tebow's presence as a leader and QB. But It could go either way.

Its 308 second in the country. However Tebow is there leading rusher, and all of floridas offense revolves around him. IMO There running game becomes very pedestrain without Tebow in the lineup. That plus the fact that Florida has zero game changers at the reciving postion and I say LSU would be favored. Florida will struggle to run without Tebow. I still think with or without him the win, and im basing that on the fact they have the best defense in the nation. I see a 10-7 game if Tebow doesnt play.

^ Thank you sir. I really wanted to say just over 300 ypg because I was sure I heard that earlier. But that's a crazy stat so I just wanted to be safe and say over 200 ypg. Even if Tebow returns, does Urban send Tebow in those rushes knowing his health? Hmm should be interesting nontheless!

I think even if he doesn't, the run game will still be much better, because the LSU D will have to respect the fact that Tebow could run at any time.

Florida rolls LSU is prime for the taking.

The Gators role big time.

As Gator fan know it is tough to win in the Tiger Den no matter what kind of team you have. Think Florida wins with or without Tebow because Gator D will be too tough for LSU. Think Tebow will play and that stats he puts up will help his leadership is the thing that makes the Gators go. GO GATORS.

Its Florida vs LSU,not Tebow vs LSU,UF wins going away.

LSU even with Tebow. Wishful thinking again.

I agree...But missing your best player is going to have a big effect on your team...Look at the Steelers.

LSU even with Tebow. Wishful thinking again.

 

I wanted to say that too!
