BCS Championship Preview

Posted by Vince Mullins on January 1, 2008

#2 Louisiana State Tigers (11-2) versus #1 Ohio State Buckeyes (11-1)
Monday, January 7, 8pm on FOXJacob Hester, Lynn Bass/Icon SMI

Random Stats
Avg. Margin of Victory – LSU 19.2 (7th), OSU 21.3 (6th)
Turnover Margin – LSU +18 (5th), OSU -1(64th)
Team Passing Efficiency – LSU 43rd, Ohio State 14th

When LSU has the ball: EDGE OSU

LSU is our 11th ranked offense facing off against the top-rated defense of the Buckeyes (see Bowl Index below). Tigers are deep at all positions, including QB where you can expect to see Coach Les Miles alternate between Matt Flynn and Ryan Perriloux.

Offensive coordinator Gary Crowton runs a multiple-spread built upon the running of Senior RB Jacob Hester (right, Lynn Bass/Icon SMI) while mixing in passes to some amazing athletes like Early Doucet and Trindon Holliday. Over/under on trick plays to expect is three.
