Coach O has repeatedly said this week that MSU was much more physical than us last year, that Fitz is a big and strong physical runner, etc., so look for LSU to really load up the box to stop the run while putting their CB?s on an island, basically daring us to throw. In no way am I saying AirJoe should re-emerge in Baton Rouge but for us to dictate tempo and win the game, we are going to have to throw it successfully early to reduced their numbers in the box so we can play to our strength - which is ground and pound.

If we can successfully execute early through the air will most likely determine if we exit Death Valley a winner or not.
