If LSU beats Bama, it will be because?

1. Alabama is just not that much better, and Tiger Stadium is the difference in otherwise evenly matched game.
2. Alabama is untested. They'll be shell shocked to look up in the 4th quarter, and find the score close, and won't know how to play in a game like that.
3. Mett finally "gets it", and the offense clicks.
4. Alabama makes mistakes/turns the ball over.


If we beat them, which of the above will be the biggest reason, iyho?

I'm really going w/2.

There is some argument to No. 1.

I think our D is actually a little better than theirs. Only difference is that our offense doesn't help the D much at all. Even when we get turnovers they don't turn them into points that often. The score will be close going into the 4th just because of the defense. The only question is can our offense convert on enough drives to out score them.

With that said.....I'll go with 3. I don't agree with how it was worded though. Passing game just needs to be consistent and we'll be fine.

1. Alabama plays their worst defensive game since Auburn 2010

2. LSU plays it's best offensive game since Rohan Davey was QB

3. We get a defensive or special teams socre

It will be because the OL gives Mettenberger time in the pocket to let pass plays develop downfield. We don't need to chuck it 50 yards downfield every play to win. But if the OL holds up long enough for Mett to toss a few down the field it will force Bama's back 7 to spread out a little bit which will open up holes for the running game.

The SEC teams Alabama has beat up until this point are a combined 3-12.

This would have to come true for it to happen. Defense is great, but when you cannot score at will against Towsen and Auburn, it will be tough sledding against the Tide. Stranger things have happened though.

I'm inclined for it to be a mix of 1 and 2

In every other thread you have predicted LSU is going to get "steam rolled" and blown out. I don't see why you think one defensive or ST TD would save the day here.

#2...

That and Alabama has a sense of entitlement and hubris....

They are the best thing ever in CFB and everyone should fear the Beast that is supposed to be Alabama...

1. We pic off McCarron and take one to the house.
2. We etablished a great ground attack. you have to attack Bama's corners.
3. We shut down TJ Yeldon and that fatass Eddie Lacy.
4. Saban has the worse case of the shits.
