Surprise, surprise.

Bama gets another 6-3, 240 pound LB in Devall, we get another sure-tackler in Debo with 4.4 speed & ball swarming awareness.

Bama's lack of elite lateral speed at LB is one of the factors in why we beat them at their house. Speed kills.

That's a really good point. The Tigers' success with the option wasn't because it caught Bama unprepared; it was because LSU executed better and Bama didn't have the speed to make the plays. They defended well on the Ford run from a scheme standpoint, just not talented enough to make the stop.
