re: ESPNs Peter Burns picks LSU to beat Bammer

If I didn’t have a strong knowledge about LSUs defense and LSUs defensive backfield, I’d think that would be a good pick. 40 points is in the menu for LSU. It’s probably not enough.

Agree on D

But 40 on offense might be a bit generous. I see Saban playing time of possession, limiting our touches. We will undoubtedly be in our usual prevent D with the secondary, and their back is a YAC dude, who can get it in from the Red Zone

Saban’s m.o. is punish the QB. And Daniels could be targeted more than usual

We see the same outcome, I just don’t think it will be Ole Miss-like. Saban’s too smart to chance that
