To win, LSU MUST:

1) Score early on offense. We MUST establish early that our offense can move the ball and at least get 3 (preferably 7) on one of our first two drives. If we let their defense get psyched up early and our O goes into sleep mode, it could be another long day offensively.

2) Create turnovers and/or have big plays on defense or special teams. A D or ST score is not exactly a necessity to an LSU win, but would be very nice; and some kind of big play(s) on D or ST is definitely needed.

3) Not turn it over - period!

4) Stop the Bama run game. McCarron is most successful when the Bama run game works - which it has everygame this year. FIRST STOP THE RUN.

One more MUST: the crowd MUST stay in the game for 4 quarters - even if we get down and go into "Miles" mode. I won't be there (except in spirit) - but those who are: PLEASE MAKE NOISE AND SUPPORT THE TEAM FOR 60 MINUTES.

All I want to see is a 0-0 score after the first quarter. If Bama happens to get the early lead, the crowd will start to get a little uneasy.

Must make the gumps feel the pressure of the game. It will cause them to make mistakes, Saban will get pissed and press more, they make more mistakes and we make them pay.

Has to score first and get an early turnover to keep the crowd in it. I think it is imperative to stop them on their first drive. Their whole game plan will revolve around getting the crowd out early and getting a lead. They will come out with hay makers.

I'm sorry, I thought you were making a list of "wants".

1. Score early on offense. It will be tough, but with some creativity we can get it done.
2. Pic the fig McCarron off on his first throw. They will fake the delay and shithead will try to hit Amari Cooper deep with Eric Reid Pic.
3. No turnovers
4. no stupid penalities
5. Miles has to eat grass at least 2-3 times each half.

I agree. This was my point about making them feel the pressure. They have taken control of every game they have played this year against easy opponents. We do not have to be flawless but we have to be opportunistic.

Knocking AJ down a few times would really help.

We have to "Play Hard" and "Do our Job" on every snap. The WR need to get off their asses and run fast crisp routes and catch the ball!!!

Biggest one in my opinion. If turnovers happen, the defense ends up on the field too much. I felt like that was the undoing against UF. No matter how good LSU's D is, if they're gassed from being on the field too long it'll get bad.
