Trend Reversal - It's Les's Turn (Step aside Nick)

There is one primary reason why Alabama has the most national championships in the last few years. They have had a more serviceable QB. LSU has played close, even with predominant poor Qb play. Everything else has been about net neutral. Bottom line: Switch out the QB's, and the national championships would be different. However, the truth is that Bama has had teams that possessed the better QB, and so they have legitimately won more titles.


Now, Harris is a Sophomore and is not only average, but above average. Sure he will make some mistakes, and maybe even throw 1 (or possibly even 2) picks in the Bama game, but the overall offerings/abilities he possesses and provides will force Bama to play us a lot differently, opening up plays that just were not practical previously. And Fournette is a beast to have in that mix. And also, face the fact that this is not the Bama team of the last few years. They have the more questionable QB at this juncture, and is there any reason to believe Coker or anyone on the Bama staff will become better than Harris this year or the next? Only a true houndstooth homer would say so. Is it possible, yes. Is it likely, absolutely not.

All things said, I think this is a point of inflexion on the series.

The Tigers have phased to a more stout team.

It's Les' turn to win a few in a row. The media will not see it this way, because most of them are shallow thinkers, and forget that Saban is not perfect.

Our coach, big Les, will reverse the trend.

Its going to be a great run, and the trend reversal starts with #7 and is team on the 7th.
