A much hyped game that will be well fought. Two great defensive teams that want the SEC title very bad in their hands. I believe the winner of this game will beat Notre Damn Irish. Both these teams are much more agressive, better defenders, and have beaten much better teams that the solely high-praised Notre Damn Irish have, all season.
