LSU's sixth-ranked Tigers head to Georgia for a Saturday afternoon encounter with the No. 9/10 ranked Georgia Bulldogs in a key SEC battle, which should prove to be the Tigers biggest challenge of the season to this point.
LSU, 4-0, is firing on all cylinders offensively with senior quarterback Zach Mettenberger passing at will against the Tigers competition.
Mettenberger has already surpassed the 1,000 yard passing mark, completing 59-of-91 passes
with 10 touchdowns, the most in school history through four games.
Tomorrow's game pits two of the best SEC quarterbacks in Mettenberger going against Georgia's Aaron Murray.
LSU and Georgia, both charter members of the SEC, have met 29 times with the Tigers leading
the series 16-12-1. Three of those previous meetings have come in the SEC Championship game
in Atlanta with LSU winning two of those contests.
LSU has won 29 straight games in September, dating back to 2006. The Tigers last September
loss was at the hands of Auburn 7-3.
LSU is off to a 4-0 start for the seventh consecutive season and the Tigers have yet to
trail this season in 240 minutes of actual playing time. LSU has outscored its opponents
173-88 so the defense is also getting the job done. Tiger linebacker Lamin Barrow tops the
club with 22 tackles followed by defensive tackle Ego Ferguson and safety Micah Eugene just
one tackle behind.
