Which team has a better defense - LSU or Alabama?

original post.


but bama by a mile

LSU has similar athletes but my main concern is Chavis lack of making game adjustments or for that matter his scheme. Having LB's in space covering WR in obvious passing downs is a huge red flag.

If Bama would have played simular teams on the road i might have a better idea.When they play florida next week then we might know more, but Bama's D is no doubt good so far.

Bama's seems to be more consistent.

While LSU's looked nasty the first three games, I never really thought they got into a groove last night.

Of course, Smith went to the air 60+ times...we'll know come 11.5

Bama - but we have the potential to be better whereas Bama is playing at it's peak level of performance

I think Alabama maybe better but not by much. I think LSU's offense is better, so I say we win come Nov 5.

Bama is better.

More importantly though, I think Bama's defense matches up better with our offense than our defense matches up with Bamas.

Who has BAMA played to test their D? Arkansas? Please.

I personally thought allowing the short yards to not sacrifice the long was all apart of Chavis' game plan. It worked.

500+ yards on the surface sounds awful, but look closer:

Comp pct. 10.0
Yds per att. 7.2
TD-Int 0-0
Pass effic. 70.5

Not to mention only 21 points on the scoreboard.

Frick BAMA; I'll take LSU.

Bamas defense is much better. They should be one quite frankly
