Brando's thoughts

Here is what CBS Sports' Tim Brando wrote this week about the LSU-Florida game in his Shreveport Times column this week.


LSU’s matchup with Florida will be a different one to be sure. All of the intangibles — homefield, revenge, a great quarterback who wants to flex his muscles — will all be with the Gators.

There’s no question that Florida is the more desperate team, having to win and allowing Tim Tebow — who has struggled this year — a national stage to reassert himself.

Usually, that matters this time of year. This time, though, I think LSU is just too physical for Florida, a team that has struggled on both its offensive and defensive fronts.

I think a late game field goal will get it done for the Bayou Bengals.
