Matching LSU units to Alabamas

I totally agree that Bama is a better team but when you look at the matchups of units, there isn't a huge advantage to Bama.
LSU OL - Bama DL (give edge to LSU)
LSU DL - Bama OL (edge to Bama as of late, bama weak in early season)
LSU WR - Bama DBs (advantage LSU)
LSU DBS - Bama WRs (advantage Bama)
LSU RBS - Bama LBs (wash)
LSU LBs - Bama RBs (Bama)
Quarterbacks vs other teams defense - gotta give McCarron slight advantage
Special teams - Bama
Coaching -- say what you want but our coaching staff is every bit as strong as Bamas. Miles with Peveto, and other shitty offense coordinators over the years has managed to win 3 out of 7 w/ Saban when Saban arguable had more talent
I just don't see us being extremely over matched in this one.

Well for whatever reason Bama plays a whole lot better.

Solid post!

Solid, but with this game, stats will be abandoned as they almost always are.

LSU OL - Alabama DL (slight edge to Alabama)
LSU DL - Alabama OL (Alabama)
LSU WR - Alabama DB (LSU)
LSU DB - Alabama WR (Alabama)
LSU RB - Alabama LB (slight edge to Alabama)
LSU LB - Alabama RB (huge, huge Alabama)
Quarterbacks - Alabama
Special Teams - push
So, I've got Alabama:6 LSU:1 Push:1
LSU DL - Alabama OL (Alabama)
LSU WR - Alabama DB (LSU)
LSU DB - Alabama WR (Alabama)
LSU RB - Alabama LB (slight edge to Alabama)
LSU LB - Alabama RB (huge, huge Alabama)
Quarterbacks - Alabama
Special Teams - push
So, I've got Alabama:6 LSU:1 Push:1

+1 from me
but this is wayyyyy wrong. Our DL couldn't even get pressure on much smaller OL of Furman so how will that change overnight? I just don't see it.

We've got bigger "units".

Depth goes to Bama. Big time. That will be a bigger problem than any of those other factors.
And yeah, Saban is better. He just is, and he's loading up with better talent. Next year might be scary bad.

You gave Bama a 5.5-2.5 advantage in your own analysis. How is that not a big advantage to Bama?

LSU DBS - Bama WRs (advantage Bama)
I'm not so sure about this. I do not think Bama at WR is that strong. Although our secondary is young, they're talented. If the sons of beeches learn their jobs then I think we have the advantage here. I would not be surprised to see one of our young corners make some plays. Safety play is a different story, but if they can get some confidence early on then I truely think this aspect can win us a game against Bama.

LSU is capable of winning this game. if bama exploits our defensive weaknesses successfully we will need to score a lot of points. our D matches up better with bama than with ole miss.
if mett stays determined to throw to obj no matter what he will throw several picks and we are screwed.
on the positive side, we sliced 'em up last year and our O is better so we just might score a lot of points. my hope and prayer is that our D is not left to win the game with a coupla minutes left. chavis is very predictable in that situation and bama most definately knows his tendencies. the pass to the rb has never quite been figured out by our lb's.

As per usual, LSU is the beast on Bama's schedule. Anyone that says that LSU is not the most feared and respected team by our coaches and players is looney. With all the shite that is slung here, Bama fans loose more sleep and worry more about beating LSU than any other team and this year is no different.
Good luck Tigers.
