So much talk about if LSU has any chance they will... Or LSU lacks such and such. I have never heard so much doubt since the Dinardo years. Bama is beating teams like they did in 2011. And our defense held them in check. Our offense has too start clicking, but we have the components to win.

Bama is better this year. Our offense better have made improvements. They definitely have the potential.

Everyone is talking like this, ESPN is already talking about if Oregon can beat BAMA, just let them talk, it will make the win that much sweeter, FYI Hannagriff believes

It seems to be a foregone conclusion to anyone with a microphone and about half the "fans" on this site.

Honestly, I think they're around the same. The key difference is that we've altered out style of play from just keeping up and waiting for the other team to make a mistake to trying to attack a little more. So instead of just slamming the ball down their throat until they mess up like Bama continues to do, we take chances, mess up, and teams get opportunities. If we could ever get a semblance of a passing game consistent, this team would be insane.

Me either. But then again, I've never heard Tigerrag radio at all. That might explain it.

It's called being objective. We have a chance, but it's microscopic.

It seems like we just haven't been on the same page all year on offense. I don't know how much that has to do with us changing up from a 75/25 run/pass team to now being more of a 50/50 run pass team. I think we have a better chance now than in Jan when we refused to challenges them down the field. Now we will actually take shots down the field.

I guess I don't get the negativity either, I remember thinking last November we are going in to Tuscalooser no way we come out with the win...Death Valley Saturday night drunks piled on top of drunks screaming at the top of their lungs...we win this year by a pick six...

Anyone paying attention about this game immediately notices two things:

1) Bama is playing very well on O. They're disciplined, balanced, and AJ hasn't thrown an int all year.

2) Our O is bad. Mett has been a letdown, our WRs have under-performed, our OL has been shuffled, 8 games into the season and we still show no sense of chemistry or identity.

I think we can win but to do so means we're going to have to make Bama play outside their comfort zone (very possible) and really elevate our play on O (TBD).

I mean up to this point, they have been more impressive than us in almost every way. We don't have to be the best team this year though, just the better team that day. If we play more physical, we can win, but the athletes are equally talented on each side. Cliche to say, but our guys have to want it more.

From a sports reporting perspective based on performances leading up to this game, you have to favor BAMA. They are simply a more complete team that plays essentially mistake free football. No, they haven't been tested and have not faced a Defense like LSU. However, they have won their games by an average of 19 points. No one has come close to even threaten them. A couple of plays here and there and LSU could easily be a 3 loss team. LSU has a chance, but it would be considered an upset. No question based on what we've seen this year, BAMA is the more complete team. Now they get to prove it in what is considered to be the most hostile environment in all of College Football. LSU will have something to say about it. Will it be enough? We shall see...

If I'm betting straight-up, I take Bama. With the points, I take LSU. Can we beat the Gumps? Of course, but if we play our normal offense, it will be difficult. The defense would have to be lights out and generating points.

If the Mad Hatter pulls some new offensive looks out of the hat, anything can happen.

The wildcard for me is whether the "Bama hasn't played anybody" argument has some legs.

I honestly don't believe they are better this year either, look at their competition this year. However, I don't believe we are the team we were last year either. That being said, anybody that thinks the tigers don't have a chance are crazy.

All I know is that if any team can upset the #1 team in the country, it's LSU in Baton Rouge at night. Belee dat!

Nobody gave us a chance against USC (cocks) and how did that turn out?

The fans kicked it up a notch for that game and let's hope it's X 10 for the cousin humpers as well.

I just don't see a battered AJ making it through this game without his 1st pick for 6. I also have recurring dream that he meets the death triangle on a reverse gone bad and the Bammer trainers making a trip out to scoop him up.
