From an objective standpoint:
QB: Slight Advantage to Texas. Ehlinger runs better. Throwing is about the same. Burrow did face tougher secondaries.
WR: Advantage LSU. It's one of their best units hands down. Tall and disgustingly athletic.
RB: Tie. No world destroyers on either side.
OL: Huge Texas Advantage. Their OL was bad last year. They return nearly all of it but that wont mean much.
DL: Advantage LSU. This right here is why LSU will not lose this game by more than seven. Absolutely filthy. Most would start for us. And..
DB, CB, S: Advantage LSU. Wont sugar coat it because I cheer on the Longhorns. .Aranda is the best DC in CFB and everyone on that defense is stupidly talented and well coached.
To recap, Texas will have a better offense. LSU will have the better defense. The problem is, their weakness plays against our weakness. While our strength goes against their bread and butter.
To those predicting blowouts, this is why meltdowns happen. We could lose this game .
The final score will be tight as fuck. 27-24 either way in my opinion. Most LSU fans I've met say the same. They arent all message board losers and SEC chanters. Just sit back and enjoy this win or lose because this is the game of the year.
I would love to say 45-7 Texas but I have learned not to do so lol. Texas by 3!
