LSU has really struggled defensively of late, giving up 250 points in their final eight games this season. Despite the fact that his team didn't play well down the stretch, LSU head coach Les Miles is confident his team will play well on Wednesday. "I think it's going to be a really outstanding game, but I feel really confident that our team is going to step up and play really well and be really motivated to play this game."
LSU will have to play well to contain a Georgia Tech offense that put up 45 points against Georgia in their regular season finale. Georgia Tech finished the season as the third best rushing offense in the country at 282.3 yards per game. LSU was 17th in the country in run defense at 105.7 yards allowed per game.
