re: IF LSU starts slow--

i would say yes. georgia had a good defense and arkansas defense while not good on the line, was very fast in the back 7. they both pretty much did to us early on what we usually do to opponents. 3 and outs and start pushing them backwards with field position. bama is known for being a slow start team all year. the only game i can think of where they went full throttle from start to finish was the auburn game. but auburn sucks balls.
