I still try to remain objective in predictions. I have seen BAMA play a few times recently, and watched one of the best defensive performances I have ever witnessed against SC. All the while their offense is spuuutttering. Sure, Ingram is legit, but he is a one man show. Richardson is good, but not a force yet like Tebow, or Ingram.

Meanwhile, our D has only gotten better, as well as our offense. Are we playing MNC football? No. Are we playing our best football ? No.

I say UF is clearly better than BAMA as a whole, and perhaps on both sides of the ball, and we hung in there. We got beat, but it wasn't our best showing.

BAMA on the other hand, has not played a team as good as us. Furthermore, we know firsthand how hard it is playing with a bulls eye on our back. (Signed, 2007 BCS champions) I think we will be playing loose. After all, we are the red headed step child in our conference, and practically in our division. To say nothing of the national scene. (Boise st., Oregon, Texas, Iowa) kinda crowded still.

So, I think our tigers rise to the occasion, and win by 7-10, in not a last minute spectacle.

Rant on.

Did you miss the Alabama-Ole Miss game? Because that was a better defensive effort by Alabama than the USC game.

We are very CAPABLE of winning out. We bring our "A" game and beat Bama by at least one TD. If the offense is hamstrung again with bad play calling then we lose.

I'm with you on this. We'll be loose and Bama is starting to play more tightly. We'll beat them on Saturday.

Could LSU surge perhaps by a direct relation with the fact they played 2 of worst defenses in country?

Could Bama's sputtering be the fact they played 2 Top 15 defenses?

Does it matter that Tebow was coming off a concussion and Meyer admits to not opening the playbook and playing it close to vest?

If you look only at last 5 games they are even with the season average btw

Position by position we match up with everyone Alabama has on the field.... except for our O-line vs. their D-line. Our secondary is going to have to 1) not give up the big play and 2) force a turnover or two.... This will be a helluva game.

I like our chances, but I'm not quite up to predicting victory. Their D is hellacious.

well put a few notes:

bama barely got by tenn
tenn was beated badly by auburn
tide had hard time scoring td on ole miss- auburn scored at will
bama game was close with ark in 3rd quarter

we are even with them and only home field is their advantage--if we do not give an easy turnover early we will be in this to the end
