Like most everyone else I think we are going to need a super effort from the defensive side of the ball to win this game. Injuries from the Army game and not having our full arsenal of defensive backs available is definitely reason to worry.....

On the bright side Kelly has had 9 days already to work his $10MM coaching magic and still has another 4 days to implement his game plan. He is THE master at the mental aspect of the game and he has playmakers to work with so there is a more than reasonable rainbow of hope.

Also (to be honest) Alabama's offense is not anything like it has been in the past 10-15 years. They don't have a bruiser at running back that can get 6+ yards every carry just by running over people. They don't have a QB that lights it up with his passing prowess. They don't have an offensive line that can take over a game. What they do have is home field advantage.

Tigers bring their A+ game on defense we have a chance. We all know the offense is elite and can score with the best of them. Who knows - Kelly may decide to slow the game down when we have the ball to keep our defense OFF the field. I like our chances. Hoping for another LSU vs ALA classic that goes down to the wire. Wouldn't have it any other way. Let it happen!

Man, if they could get up to that level, that would be a huge improvement and LSU probably would win out.

Then explain the Florida State game where he had 7 months to prepare.

Our defense doesn't even have a fricking F game. That's how bad it is.

5 medical helicopters will be on stand by to rush the defensive backs to the Houston burn medical center. We're gonna be okay.

No they don’t. The LSU defense simply needs to be average enough to get two or three stops per half. Our offense will take care of the rest.

Ummmm…. no.
They need to play C or D+ as long as the offense rolls. Just don’t eff it up and Tigers win.

If we score more points than they do, we win.

This defense doesn’t have an A+ game.

On their best day, they might be B-.

Hopefully that’s enough
