A&M is not a good team....they are a good offensive team...i think they would benefit more if there defense stayed at home

LSU is not beating Bama. LSU is simply not as good as them. They are going to control the game on offense. They will simply have long sustained drives and come the fourth quarter, will have LSU on their heels. LSU will put up a valiant effort, but in the end, Bama will win by 7-10. I don't think this a slight against LSU. I just think Bama is a little bit better than LSU.

They are very good and will be a real challenge for LSU to defeat them at their field BUT I do not think they are as good as previous years only because their defense isn't as dominating as past teams. Of course LSU defense is not as good either... LSU can win this game and will be BAMA's only real test of the year now that UGA has lost all their players.

not so fast, my friend. bama's real weakness is their O-line. this means their whole game plan is subject to disruption, because they can't always get out to an early lead and keep piling on. their defense is a tad off from what it has been, and LSU has a really good offense this year.

I believe we can outscore them.

if the defense continues to improve, I'll feel more confident than I do now. having said that, they look more beatable this year than they did last year when we almost took them down.

I don't care about the fact that the game is in Tuscaloosa. we beat them in their own house last time we were there with worse QB play and an incredible Defense. this year they barely played defense in the first 20 minutes against A&M and went down by 14 quickly. if we can do that but keep the offensive pressure on and don't let up, we've got this.

No matter how good they are, LSU is not scared of them and they know it.

from what I've seen they are very good and they are getting better. they were smoking atm until Manziel took what he wanted and they emasculated a decent om team who gave atm fits. their staff is as good as it gets and Saban has been pushing all the right buttons....for what seems like a very long time. their oline has jelled, they have next level skill players and you would be a fool to discount what McCarron means to them at crunchtime. their d may not be what it was in '11 but until we prove we can put large numbers on the board all this conjecture means nada.

10 til I see otherwise.

get better, get ready...get even.

The biggest problem that LSU will have facing Alabama is that McCarron can bring his team down in a two-minute offense and scored to win the game and Mettenberger has not shown that ability yet. In a close game that is a huge advantage for them.

Maybe it was because they kept trying for field goals from the 45 instead of punting.

Bama is pretty good or they would not still be ahead of The Ducks in the polls. I really like LSU chances against them. The only drawback I have is the week before will be our 1st bye week after 9 game straight. Mojo KILLER that is. But With the offense we are able to run and the way LSU lost to them last year will be a huge advantadge for LSU.

Good enough to have already qualified for the BCSNCG.

They did what they needed to do: they beat ONE ranked team.

Look at the stats from last year's game.

Looks like 2011 in reverse.

Did Bama really lose? Have you completely bought into the ESPN BS? When a media darling loses, they win no matter what?

They're very good. However, they have NEVER had to face an LSU team with such a diverse, powerful offense. I guarantee, lil nicky is having some sleepless nights worrying about what Cam's going to bring.
Geaux Tigers.
