re: LSU will wear bama down

There's a sentiment going around that bama is the only team LSU can't wear down. I disagree. It will be neck and neck for 3 quarters but LSUs depth will mean domination in the 4th quarter. I also don't think mccarron has what it takes in a game like this. He will crumble. I'm calling at least 1 LSU TD on offense, defense, and special teams.

31-7 LSU

don't agree with that score, but we can wear Bama down, just not as much as we can other teams. They have every bit as much depth and talent with that depth as we do. We wore them down enough to be able to run the ball better in the 2nd half and got the option going a little when their LBs were gassed. Having Hilliard doing what he has been doing helps us a whole lot, and we didn't have him playing last game like we have since. But no, we're not going to wear Bama down like we did UGA or any other team we played where they just couldn't stop us on the ground in the 2nd half. Bama is better than any other defense we've played all year by a lot. If we win, I doubt we win by more than 10-14 points. Neither defenses are built to get blown out. I just wonder how conservative both coaches will be. usually in big games, it's a slow chess match to start while the teams try to figure out the other, but seeing as the teams have played already this season, I'd expect Saban and Miles to be more willing to take some chances on offense.
