5 reasons why Georgia beats LSU in SEC Championship

Here are five reasons why Georgia football beats LSU in the SEC Championship Game on Saturday in Atlanta.

Special teams

There’s not a team in the country that I’d give the special teams edge to over Georgia, and that includes LSU.

Georgia has the nation’s best kicker in Rodrigo Blankenship, who will surely score plenty of points on Saturday. If Georgia drives stall in LSU territory, you know we have a pretty damn good shot at coming away with at least three points. And given our defense’s success this season, three points has been enough.

Additionally, Jake Camarda has been one of college football’s best punters this season after getting off to a bit of a rocky start.

In a game where field position will be huge, the Dawgs need Camarda to keep his groove going, much like he did against Auburn. He’ll be forced to punt, we know that to be true. If he can flip field position and let our defense do what it’s done all season, then that’s a start.
