Statistically speaking they have the better defense, but LSU gave up a lot more points than Ga. Tech did this year,
I'm on LSU as well for two main reasons though:
1) LSU's strength is run defense (#16 nationally), and Ga. Tech is almost exclusively a running team.
2) LSU has had weeks to prepare for Ga. Tech's one-dimensional offense. That favors LSU in a HUGE way. One-dimensional offenses usually struggle in bowl games. LSU has had ample time to study film and prepare for every running play Ga. Tech will throw them out. Sure Ga. Tech will throw in some new plays, but LSU will have a good idea how to stop them with all the preparation.
The biggest question mark for LSU will be the young QB play. If he can keep his nerves in check and not make stupid decisions, they should be ok.
Just a hunch, but I think LSU wins by 10-14.

Nice, but teams face this problem all year....name one team that has really stopped this kind of offense all year even with time to study film...its really hard to stop...everyone is talking about lsu's d but their offense is horrible to...so why would it be hard for tech to stop their offense? I mean this game is up for grabs but I think the team that scores most often which is tech this year will come out on top...just my two cents...
