“The LSU Tigers will look to pound the ball but could find the going tough,” stated Point-Spreads.com BCS Odds Expert Michael Alexander when asked about the Ohio State Buckeyes vs LSU Tigers National Championship Game. “That's going to put the pressure on QB Matt Flynn who has been inconsistent and isnt the drop back passer that Chris Leak was for Florida last year.”
