They are very similar . One thing you didn't mention is They have a strong secondary just like we do.

The way they pound it is a little different than we do. They use a little more deception & misdirection, lots of men in motion . They use the speed sweep and fakes to the motion man in the speed sweep a lot, which I would love us to do. It freezes your outside linebackers & defensive ends for a brief second, keeps them honest, they can't pinch down right away anticipating the dive up the middle. They will also throw off of these same ball fakes. Bama will line up in the I formation,just like us & run it down your throat & make you stop it. You know they are running, they know that you know they are running. Stop it if you can. You sneak your safeties closer & closer to the line & they eventually go play action over the top.

I am not saying that wiscy doesn't have a goode secondary. I am saying that I fully expect LSU to field the best secondary in the nation this year. Heck, every player in LSU's 2 deep Nickel secondary should see more than 2 yrs in the NFL.

AND, when those guys leave after their junior years there will be future NFL freshmen there to take their place once again. We call that DBU.

I truly doubt that Wiscy has a receiver that can see anything near decent production in this game and yet I don't have to look any farther than our two incoming freshman receivers to find LSU guys that can produce against them barring bad QB play.

Does that sound similar to you? Sounds like LSU is a huge favorite to totally shut down anything in Wiscy's passing game while they only needs average QB play to produce against the Badgers.

No no it isn't. We may not be able to take advantage of it but it is nowhere near as athletic as ours.

There is a reason Shaw went 22 of 25 for 312 yard 3/0 in the bowl game double digit victory.

No one is going 22/25 againt our CBs.... aint happening.
