USA Today Sports: "LSU-Alabama Will Be A Matchup Of Unbeatens"

By Staff Reporter•Aug 29, 20189:54 am•

John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports

The BigLead.com, which is part of the USA Today Sports network, had a very big and bold projection about the LSU-Alabama game in November: Both teams will be undefeated heading into the matchup.

quote:
LSU-Alabama will be a matchup of unbeatens:

OK, so one part of this isn’t bold. Predicting Alabama to lose would be. But I’m not that brave. LSU enters the season with a stifling defense and offensive question marks. In order to get to November blemish-free, the Tigers must beat Miami, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi State. Brace yourselves. It will happen and the teams will enter No. 1 and No. 2.

In order for that to happen LSU has to the run the table and win these eight straight games:

9/2 Miami (FL)
9/8 Southeastern LA
9/15 at Auburn
9/22 Louisiana Tech
9/29 Ole Miss
10/6 at Florida
10/13 Georgia
10/20 Mississippi St.

Could it happen?

We’ll go undefeated, including a win against Bama. We’ll lose to UGA in SECCG. UGA goes to playoff. Bama jumps LSU into playoff. I melt.

Plausible

I think we loose to Georgia in the regular season and beat them in the rematch in December. Your scenario is deep in the minds of the Crimson Sith-Lords of Birmingham however.

It begins with one game, beat Miami.

In bizzaro world anything is possible

2018 is 2011 redemption song!
G E A U X Tigers!

If this prediction has any chance of becoming true our OL and QB position are much better than consensus from CFB analysts.

MrKnowItAll•97 months

It's hard to believe Alabama will be undefeated to that point.

tubucoco•97 months

Are u kidding?? LOL Have you seen their schedule?? They'll be unbeaten, don't worry! LSU, I'm not so sue about because they have a much tougher schedule than Alabama. But it would be nice if they could run the table, and then meet Alabama in a battle of unbeatens.

Definition of sarcasm for English Language Learners. : the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say especially in order to insult someone, to show irritation, or to be funny.

Looking at LSU's recruiting classes for 17, 16, 15 and 14 - 7th, 2nd, 5th, and 2nd. Loaded.

The QB is the missing link. Burrow has help all over the field - he just needs to get the ball to the play makers, quickly and accurately (Joe LOVES that assignment)

Undefeated before (and after) Bama? Possible. SEC Champs? Likely, IMHO. (I already bet all my lunch money on it)

Time to re-establish order in the SEC! Geaux Tigers!

Pickslimmons•97 months

There have been a number of seasons in the last decade where we were a good QB away from a championship year. 2010 comes immediately to mind.

CDawson•97 months

2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 come to mind pretty vividly.

If dolphins had thumbs, they’d rule the world.

Why the hell not? I'm RIDING

colbyjackcheese•97 months

it could happen...if you listen to the majority of sports analysts they would have you believe our conference opponents have improved all the while LSU has stayed just par for the course...well I call BS! Defense is solid with some depth. we have all the reason to believe Burrow will succeed with the weapons @ WR and TE(moreau will get some looks). and you cant tell me LSU recruiters havent gotten us a decent brusier of a back regardless if hes unproven. just check the history books if you need validation. also we could have recruited RB in off-season if CEO and co. were concerned there, coach O knows this is a huge year for him. but we didnt...seems to me they are comfortable @ RB.

Philzilla2k•97 months

...and the OL.....? What about that?

colbyjackcheese•97 months

O line can speak for itself sunday night...if they choke, Riot on Bourbon st!!

Stingy•97 months

I like the Tigers' chances.

TNTigerman•97 months

If we can get there with only one loss (Auburn), that game would have the meaning it had a few years ago. Of course, beating the Gumps would make it that much sweeter.

TigerSpray•97 months

Reverse the curse......#9.

hotboiz45•97 months

Very well could happen if the tigers could halfway good play out of QB1

Drizzt•97 months

This guy knows what’s up

Riseupfromtherubble•97 months

I don’t see this happening, but it would make for a grand night in tiger stadium. I think LSU would be ranked #1 in this scenario. Of course, the last time this matchup pitted 2 top 5 teams against one another was the infamous 1.7 ypc game in which Alabama beat the brakes off LSU

Faceplant•97 months

This comment section reminds me why small children in faraway lands sing folk tunes about LSU melts. The most magically hideous spectacle in all of sport

They do? I’ve never heard that.
