Game will probably come down to mistakes/turnovers/special teams.
Our defense is better by a long shot. Offense, well, I'm less confident there.

The big difference between big 10 and sec football is defensive line play. Down here, almost all of them are 300 lbs and can run, and are virtually unblockable. Ours is the best in the country with two all Americans on it. We have a headhunting safety and some outstanding LBs that make a lot of tackles because they are free to the ball...and that is usually because it takes most teams at least 6 guys to block our front 4.
