LSUDad Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 It is Woodstock, just not the Northern one. I will venture to say, that small town has had more music greats as of late. I asked my Mom, yep, she’s still living, if she wanted to fly into Tx. She said, “let me check my calendar, nope, can’t make it, Charlie Daniels Band playing that weekend!” She still likes to party. Woodstock is a great little town. You can Google it and Helen, Ga. Two places I like to hang around when I visit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSUDad Posted December 3, 2019 Author Share Posted December 3, 2019 BOT: Confident LSU coach Ed Orgeron sees ‘best defensive games’ still ahead for Tigers By Mike Griffith, DawgNation Staff December 1, 2019 Ed Orgeron has the hottest team in college football, and it was clear on Sunday night the LSU head coach sees no signs of a cool down. Orgeron, whose Tigers are 12-0 and coming off a 50-7 win over Texas A&M, would seem to have every reason to be as confident as he sounded on a Sunday night teleconference. “Character, leadership, poise, they’re very focused,” Orgeron said, describing the SEC West Division champs. “Obviously very talented. I think we have some outstanding assistant coaches. One team, one heartbeat.” LSU plays Georgia (11-1) at 4 p.m. on Saturday in the SEC Championship Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in a game that carries College Football Playoff implications for both teams. The Bulldogs are coming off a 52-7 win over Georgia Tech but will be missing their top two receivers when the game kicks off. Lawrence Cager (ankle) is out for the season, and freshman George Pickens is suspended for the first half after getting into a fight in the third quarter of the win over the Yellow Jackets. Tailback D’Andre Swift left the game after fumbling twice and injuring his shoulder, but Coach Kirby Smart said Sunday night he expects Swift to be fine. LSU, meanwhile, is coming off what Orgeron said was the team’s most impressive performance of the season. “I thought overall, for most of the season, our offense has been playing phenomenal, and then our defense has finally played the way I think they’re capable of,” Orgeron said on Sunday night. “I do believe, without us mentioning it, there’s internal motivation, and they want to definitely prove they can be an outstanding defense. “I do believe our best defensive games are yet to come.” LSU outgained Texas A&M 553-169, recording three interceptions and sacking Aggies’ veteran quarterback Kellen Mond six times. A week before, that same Aggies’ team came into Sanford Stadium and outgained Georgia 274-260 in a 19-13 loss. Orgeron, asked about UGA quarterback Jake Fromm completing less than 50 percent of his passes in his past four games, deflected and said he’s only seen two Georgia games on tape. “I know they have a couple of receivers out,” Orgeron said. “(They have) big, strong offensive linemen, an outstanding back, can go pro style and can go spread, very multiple. “I have a lot of respect for Jake. I think he’s an excellent quarterback and an excellent leader.” LSU shut down Fromm and the Bulldogs pass game last season in Baton Rouge, and that was when the Bulldogs QB had future NFL targets Mecole Hardman, Riley Ridley, Terry Godwin and Isaac Nauta. Fromm was 16-of-34 passing for 209 yards with one touchdown, two interceptions and was sacked four times in a 36-16 loss in Baton Rouge. Orgeron isn’t looking back, intent on seeing his team continue to dominate moving forward. “It’s going to be a great game, it will be a great atmosphere,” Orgeron said. “So our guys understand the magnitude of it, but I really have confidence in this team’s mental approach that it’s the next game up.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 Who will win SEC Championship MVP? 3 candidates from LSU and Georgia Connor O'Gara | 3 hours ago Who will be hoisting a trophy with confetti falling down Saturday night in Atlanta? The other trophy, that is. The SEC Championship MVP hardware. In other words, which player will play the biggest part in clinching their team’s Playoff berth on Saturday? 00:23 04:39 It’s an interesting question that might not be as obvious as you think. No quarterback has earned that honor since Blake Sims in 2014. In fact, we’ve had 2 defensive players (Rueben Foster and Roquan Smith) win MVP during that 4-year stretch. That’s why this list of MVP candidates for Saturday consists of more than quarterbacks (and actually half defensive players). At the same time, while both teams have ridiculously talented receivers (especially LSU), it seems more likely that a quarterback would take home MVP honors if one of them were to go off. So, let’s predict 3 potential game MVP winners from each team (in no particular order): 1. Clyde Edwards-Helaire, LSU RB Edwards-Helaire is on the short list for my favorite players to watch in college football this year. The guy has a motor that’s second to none, which makes him so difficult to bring down. He’s been at his best in LSU’s biggest games, too. In games against the likes of Alabama, Auburn, Florida and Texas, look at the numbers Edwards-Helaire put up: 74 carries for 460 yards 7 rushing TDs 20 catches for 143 yards 1 receiving TD Average of 150.8 scrimmage yards, 2 TDs When Auburn had an answer for LSU’s passing game, Edwards-Helaire took over in the second half. When Alabama was mounting a comeback, Edwards-Helaire kept his legs churning and scored the dagger touchdown on a play that looked like it should have been a short gain. He’s been such a perfect fit in Joe Brady’s system because he can do it all, despite what his frame suggests. For my money, he’s a first-team All-SEC tailback this year regardless of what happens Saturday. And think about this. If Edwards-Helaire goes off Saturday, he’ll do so against a Georgia defense that allowed just 1 rushing score all year. Nobody will question the merits of his MVP candidacy if he delivers yet again. 2. Derek Stingley, LSU CB There are going to be a handful of moments when Stingley is in single coverage on the outside lined up against Dominick Blaylock or George Pickens (if he plays in the second half), and it’s going to feel like a 50-50 situation. I’m taking Stingley to win that battle more times than not. Cam Mellor@PFF_Cam The highest coverage grades among Power-5 CBs (min. 31 tgt): 1. Caleb Farley, Virginia Tech - 90.3 2. Trevon Diggs, Alabama - 89.9 3. Patrick Surtain II, Alabama - 88.8 4. Derek Stingley, LSU - 88.2 5. Kristian Fulton, LSU - 88.0 6. Jaylon Johnson, Utah - 87.5 724 4:51 PM - Nov 27, 2019 · Summerside, OH Twitter Ads info and privacy 164 people are talking about this The question is if the freshman cornerback turns that into an interception or 2 to put the game on ice. I certainly could see that happening. Stingley has thrived in those situations this year. His ball skills are already at such a high level that in what could be a favorable matchup for him against a Lawrence Cager-less Georgia group of receivers, there could be spots in which Stingley runs the better route than the Georgia wideouts. If that leads to a couple of instances in which he flips the field for LSU, Stingley’s ridiculous first season will add another highlight. 3. Joe Burrow, LSU QB Do I even need to explain this one? OK, I will. Burrow’s season for the ages feels like an SECCG MVP crown is the next step. That’s what Cam Newton did in 2010, and it’s what Tim Tebow did in 2008. That’s the kind of year that Burrow is having. It feels like barring a complete and total collapse on Saturday, public opinion will be on his side to hoist the Heisman Trophy, as well. And remember that Georgia is the best defense that Burrow and this high-powered LSU offense have seen all year. The Dawgs’ defense hasn’t allowed more than 17 points in a game all year (the pick-6 in the South Carolina game made that a 20-point output). In other words, if LSU is cruising to yet another 40-point effort, that’ll be all the more impressive. This will be no walk in the park for Burrow, and if anything, the fact that all eyes will be on him could set our expectations extremely high for Saturday. That would actually hurt his chances a bit. But betting against Burrow in 2019 doesn’t seem like a wise move. 4. Jake Fromm, Georgia QB I’ve been saying all week that if Georgia is going to win Saturday, it feels like it’ll be because Fromm has a career day. I’m talking 4 touchdown passes and 300 yards to a variety of receivers. Back-shoulder throws on back-shoulder throws. Everyone knows the hurdle Fromm is facing being without Cager and Pickens, though it’s unknown if the latter will get to play in the second half. We’ve never seen a team lose its top 5 receivers from the previous season and make the Playoff the following year. Georgia is a win from accomplishing that. But it’ll take Fromm doing something that he’s struggled with all year. That is, trusting his young receivers to make plays in single coverage. Fromm showed signs of doing this against Georgia Tech. James Coley finally started letting him stretch the field a bit, too. It feels like to keep pace with LSU, it’s going to come down to Fromm making some big-time throws. Let’s not forget that Fromm was a Jalen Hurts comeback away from winning the MVP in this game last year. He was fantastic for most of that game. Granted, that was with a much more experienced group of receivers. It’s been a different story this year. But unlike Burrow, there are some somewhat tempered expectations for Fromm’s performance, which could make a standout game all the more noteworthy. 5. Richard LeCounte, Georgia S If Georgia wins, we’ll likely be talking about Kirby Smart’s defense. More specifically, we’ll be talking about how Burrow was contained. It’ll be someone like LeCounte making plays all over the field. Fortunately for Georgia, that’s what he’s been doing down the stretch. He’s got either a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, an interception or a tackle for loss in each of the last 4 games. He’s to Georgia what Grant Delpit is to LSU. He can blow up plays in the backfield and if you make a mistake over the top, LeCounte can make you pay. Whether that’s leading a receiver into a big hit or letting go of an errant throw, LeCounte is capable of making a major impact. The obvious issue is that Burrow has been historically successful operating in the middle of the field. And perhaps just as important is guys like Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase are plenty confident catching balls in between the hashes, which not everyone is. So yeah, to stop LSU’s biggest strength, it feels like LeCounte would have a major say in doing that. 6. Tyler Clark, Georgia DL I went a little defense-heavy for Georgia because I believe all the attention will be on the LSU offense. If you give Burrow time, most likely, he’s going to find his open receivers and LSU is going to move the ball with ease. What Burrow does so well is also buy time with his legs. In steps Clark, AKA the guy who can prevent that. He hasn’t put up gaudy numbers necessarily (8 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks), but that’s kind of how it goes with this Georgia defense. They group tackle, they get in quarterbacks’ faces and they make it a true 60-minute grind. Clark is at the forefront of that. The veteran has the attention of the defensive line-focused Ed Orgeron, who said Clark is “dominant.” Yeah, I wouldn’t disagree with that: Hiro Katsuki@KatsukiFB DT Tyler Clark (@TylerClark50) with the SACK!!!!! 35 6:37 PM - Nov 23, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy See Hiro Katsuki's other Tweets Clark might not have the explosiveness of some of the 5-star talents in that front 7, but he always seems to win his matchup and make an impact on a few key plays in a game. Might that happen against LSU? It’s certainly possible. If the Dawgs do contain Burrow on Saturday, my guess is you’ll see a whole lot of No. 52 celebrating.

LSUDad Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 I passed through Tuscalooser last night, with a little Purple and Gold, kind of quiet. Made a stop, asked if all their InbredGumps $hit was half off. I’m heading to lunch, once again with the P&G, gonna pi$$ off a few UGA fans. Might stop in Mississippi on the way home for a clean sweep. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 Gus Malzahn to appear as guest analyst on CBS ahead of SEC Championship Keith Farner | 3 hours ago Pregame coverage on CBS ahead of the SEC Championship is set for 2:30 p.m. ET on Saturday and SEC fans will see a familiar face in studio. Auburn coach Gus Malzahn will be on hand as one of 3 SEC coaches to have faced both Georgia and LSU. CBS announced the addition, something Malzahn has done before, such as last season for the Georgia-Florida game, which was during Auburn’s bye week. Previously, Malzahn has said this kind of exposure helps Auburn in recruiting. Florida’s Dan Mullen and Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher are the only other coaches to have the kind of perspective of both teams that Malzahn has this season. 00:02 The first time Malzahn did this kind of work was in 2014 when he was in studio during the broadcast of the Georgia-South Carolina game. That game had a weather delay of more than an hour, which caused Malzahn to learn on the fly. “I was getting a little antsy there,” Malzahn said. “I was watching my clock but I was able to get the work done we needed to get done.” The CBS crew decided to rebroadcast the second half of the Tigers’ Kick Six victory against Alabama in the 2013 Iron Bowl. “I was OK with it, but, no, it wasn’t my idea,” Malzahn said, according to AL.com. “I was learning on the job is what I was doing.” That report also said Auburn’s sports information department approached Malzahn in August that year about the possibility of serving as a guest analyst for CBS during the Tigers’ bye week. “It was very convenient for me to do my work on the plane going there and coming back,” Malzahn said.
