Settling the whole Georgia 2022 v LSU 2019 debate

Since Georgia won the 2022 National Championship and became the first back-to-back Natty winners since 2011-2 Alabama, people are asking: Would this 2019 Georgia team beat the ‘unstoppable’ LSU team of 2019?   OFFENSES QUARTERBACK JOE BURROW V STETSON BENNETT Burrow’s stats (2019): 402-507 (76.3 completion percentage), 5671 yards, 60 TDs, 6 INTs. 361 yards rushing, 5 TDs.

After winning the National Championship, LSU’s winning the offseason, too

The ‘Geaux Tigers’ and ‘Perfect’ newspaper front pages have long been picked up from Bourbon Street. The smell of vomit and stale alcohol still remains, but that’ll be covered up when another big party comes along this weekend. The ladies of the night are all driving Escalades now after the joyful celebrations of the Cajun many, and somewhere a story will emerge that a liver-affected Louisianan did try and hatch out of a plan to, er, visit one of Louisiana’s best-known striped friends to cap off one of the best season’s college football has ever seen. It seemed funny that the headline-stealer for the offseason was not the person who (probably) tried to play Dr Dolittle with Mike, but Odell Beckham

National Championship Game Preview: The Battle Between Two Tigers

On January 13th, 2020, we will see the battle. Shere Khan versus Tigger. One Death Valley against another. A recently-awoken sleeping giant from the State where Laissez Les Bons Temps Roulee isn’t so much a catchphrase as a way of being against the perennial joke that’s now put the joke on others. It’s ACC vs SEC. It’s the battle between two recruiting powerhouses. Two well-liked coaches in Ed Orgeron and Dabo Swinney. Two high-octane offenses, featuring one quarterback who was a pretty much an afterthought this season, but exploded into a Heisman winner, a feature on the front cover of Sports Illustrated, a future Top-5 round pick, and the God of one of the most spellbinding offenses college football has ever seen.

CFB Play-Off: LSU: Tiger Walk or Tiger Upset?

The College Football Play-Off is upon us on Saturday, and we’re all quite excited. After arguments over neutral site bowl games, losses to South Carolina/Arizona State/Kansas State, it’s all set in place, and 4 winners of 4 conferences are in the four semi-finals. As usual – it seems – the best team is being left out in Oregon, but that’s due to their self-shooting at Arizona State, so no sympathy there. But we’re here now, and it’s LSU, Ohio State, Clemson and Oklahoma who will battle it out for the National Championship on January 13th. On December 28th LSU will face off with Oklahoma and Ohio State will play Clemson. The one that’s being talked about offensively is the LSU
