with Harris replacing suspended starting QB Grier the LSU game plan will make a drastic change .
Harris isn't the passer that Grier is . Grier does a lot of damage running the ball . Harris will turn the Gators from a pass first offense into a run first attack. The Fla run game has been below average .
IMO these changes play into LSU's hands . The D has been stout v the run and the secondary has been subject to long gainers. They can load up the box forcing Harris to beat them with his arm.
If the LSU defense can force 3 and outs , pick up a few first downs and win the field position battle this will force Harris to start deep in LSU territory. Controlling the ball will eventually begin to wear on that really good but a bit smallish Fla D .
I look for LSU to assert themselves the 2nd half and begin to pull away.
