GAME BREAKDOWN
KEY MATCHUP: It’s all about physicality. Both LSU head coach Ed Orgeron and Kirby Smart of Georgia have stressed that aspect of their teams’ play — and they each have a point. Whoever wins the battle at the line of scrimmage is probably going to come out on top. Smart has challenged his team to plays his most physical game of the year, and it’s going to be interesting to see how it responds.
DRAFT SLANT
–CB Deandre Baker was named a preseason All-American and is living up to his early billing. In six games, Baker has 21 tackles with a team-best two interceptions. He is tied for SEC lead in passes defended with eight.
ROSTER REPORT:
–OG Ben Cleveland is out indefinitely after breaking his left fibula against Missouri.
–OG Solomon Kindley suffered a minor MCL injury against Vanderbilt, but coach Kirby Smart is hopeful the redshirt sophomore will be able to play.
–Backup defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt is questionable with an undisclosed injury, per coach Kirby Smart.
