Hypothetical question about overcoming slow start on Nov. 5

Both LSU and Bama have had some slow starts in recent games only to blow out their opponents by the end of the games.

If one team got up 21 points on the other by halftime on Nov. 5, which team has best offensive scheme/players and psyche to overcome that?

I ask because a godson of mine attending UA said "he" (and implying maybe more Bammer fans than him) is worried about a slow start.

LSU started quite fast against Florida and Auburn.

I'd be more worried being Bama down 21 at half. LSU has completely shut down and ran away with the lead against every team they've played in the 3rd quarter. There can't be a more dominant 3rd quarter team in nation.

I'd say we should come out attacking Bama like Florida did, but that didn't end up too well for Florida in the end. We'll have to ride the wave of emotion for a couple series and try to settle in and keep the game close. Neither team will be winning this game by more than 14.

I think it speaks more to look at who those slow starts were against.

LSU has started fast and never looked back against their big opponents.

I did say "some" b/c of those games.
