AUDIBLES with CBS Sports' Lead College Football Analyst Gary DanielsoN

  

(On pressure of being No. 1): There is no team more prepared to handle the pressure of being No.1 than LSU. They have been there once. They have had at least four or five games where it's been a real struggle for them to get through. They are used to it. And they are a seasoned team. If they lose, it will not be because of the enormity of being No. 1.

  

(On an Ole Miss upset): They don't have enough weapons and their defense is porous in the secondary. It will take some help from LSU. LSU has turned the ball over five times in the last two games. It's not impossible, but Ole Miss does not have enough without LSU's help.

 

(On Matt Flynn): Matt Flynn has really come a long way. Before, LSU thought it was a two-man job with Flynn and Ryan Perrilloux. Right now Flynn has distanced himself. There is not doubt in my mind that he is good enough to be a national championship quarterback.

 

(On LSU): For LSU it's almost like a marathoner seeing the finish line. They hit the tough part of their schedule. Their goal was to win the national championship. Now with only three games left, they can see the finish line and are getting their second wind. They did not have a bye last week, but it basically was. They will be as fresh and as healthy as they have been all year.
