I heard the comments, but didn't realize he said #2 (better coach). Really?

Only valid reason to really give for the games IMO.

is this true? We seem to have cut down on penalties a lot this year

I thought we had until the Miss. State game. We were pretty sloppy in that one. I hope that was a fluke.

what's wrong with that reasoning?

LSU plays very well in Alabama.

It's debatable that Bama has a better coaching staff.

And I don't recall LSU being heavily penalized this year...

Alabama may beat LSU..the game is still to be played.
But of all the opinions which I place zero value, Colon- oops Cowherds is at the top of the list.

total mama's boy IMO.

LSU will not score.

Someone please tell me why I'm wrong.

LSU has a very balanced offense this year with playmakers all over the field.
We can score in many different ways.

The 2 defenses are a push, but LSU's offense is a little better than Bama's.

Regardless, both teams have to play Florida first.

Good point actually.

It's not really a good point considering LSU is 5-2 in the last 7 games in Bryant Denny.

I remember when the knock against LSU was, they couldn't beat Bama in Tiger Stadium.

Cowherd's points are basically 'Captain Obvious' type bullet points of why Bama should NEVER lose a home game. Fortunately, we get to actually play games and sometimes find out otherwise.

Personally, I feel really good about our chances. I really hope we're both undefeated when we go in there. Is should be epic.

Alabama is #6 in the country in penalites at 29.75 yards a game.
LSU is #64 at 52.5 yards a game.

If 23 yards means the difference this year, it should be a hell of a game.

He left out a good reason LSU will beat Alabama. We have a seasoned qb, theirs isn't. The speed issue, is a push. The coaching issue, Saban maybe a tad better, but Les has better asst's than Saban. It is in Alabame, but I believe LSU likes the road, and this one want be any different.

I agree. I really hate Greenberg, he is by far the least needed person on that show. I still listen, but more because of lack of options.

BTW, those are all valid opinions.
