ESPN’s Mark Schlabach:
Title: Can Georgia’s offensive smash-mouth its way past LSU in the SEC Title Game?
In Smart’s fourth season, his fingerprints still seem to be all over his team’s ball-control offense. The Bulldogs rank in the middle of the pack in the SEC in scoring, rushing and passing.
Is that going to be enough against LSU, which is led by Heisman Trophy favorite Joe Burrow (a 90 in the PlayStation Player Impact Rating), an Ohio State transfer who already has broken the SEC single-season record with 4,366 passing yards and tied the league mark with 44 touchdowns? The Tigers also have Clyde Edwards-Helaire (94 rating), a 1,000-yard rusher, and Ja’Marr Chase (91 rating) and Justin Jefferson (81 rating), a pair of 1,000-yard wide receivers.
