re: Danielson on Finebaum basically said LSU has no chance vs Alabama

Two things I'm predicting..Convincing wins for the Tigers and Romney!!

"if all of Alabama's running backs ate at the same Mexican restaurant Friday night and got sick and couldn't play, Alabama would just throw the ball and still win."

He was comparing McCarron to Mettenberger. He said if all RBs ate the same thing and there was no running game available....Bama can win by throwing the ball, he said he didn't think LSU could. It's a legit statement. Doesn't mean it's true, but it's hard to argue with him saying that at this point.


That said, McCarron in his 1.5 years of playing has never had a legit road game in a hostile environment against a team that can beat Bama. Florida was junk last year, Arky is junk this year, Tenn is not good, they've dodged UGA and SCar this year and last. I have seen LSU get behind in a game and claw back. I have yet to see Bama get punched in the mouth this year. I think LSU will change that and then Game On.

What he really said that there was Three Elite units that would be on the field Saturday - LSU defense, Alabama defense and Alabama offense. He said that LSU quaterback play would be the key. He knew that McCarron would perform, wasn't sure about Mett.

This is exactly what he said. My Beltone mustve cut out when he supposedly talked about the mexican part.

It will come down to McCarron's ability to handle the crowd and play well. If he struggles at all, LSU wins.

You seem to forget about the other equation in the game. We have to play offense too..

I always thought Danielson liked LSU from his commentary he just so happen want to light a fire under the LSU team so he is disrespecting them. He have said so himself that after sitting down and talking with Les Miles he would glad put his son under CLM care.

He doing it to motivate LSU.

If you go back to last year about this time, a lot of the same things were being said. I would absolutely love to see Alabama spread it out (like Texas AM) and see how long "AJ football" would last. I do not wear purple and gold blinders, but I feel that LSU's defense is under rated and Alabama's offense is over rated. I base this simply on who each team has played. SC was hitting their offensive stride when they came to Baton Rouge. Lattimore was gonna run all over LSU...31 yards. Texas AM, top 5 offense in the country... Shut down after 1st Q. Alabama had better skill guys in 2011, OLine better in 2012. LSU better DLine in 2012, arguably more vulnerable in secondary. As far as coordinators, I would put Cheif up against anyone. He keeps LSU in ball games as he will Saturday. Offensively, between the 2 games in 2011, the Tide threw the kitchen sink at LSU and managed a late TD to a defense that was tired and selling out to get a stop. Can't see them doing anything different ( than a counter that fla had success with vs LSU) that LSU isn't prepared for. LSU offense, to believe that LSU will put the game in the hands of Mett is foolish ( and unfair to Mett and team)... I do believe you will see the option with Ware running it as well Russell Shepard being utilized as decoy or deep threat off play action. Ultimately at the end of the game if Brad Wing and Odell Beckham has good games ST wise, the Tigers can pull this out. But I don't think it's a shock the world scenario like Danielson believes.

Maybe some Mexican restaurant in BR should hang out a sign reading, "Eddie, T.J.: Burritos on the house, drop on in."

That is not what he said. Others above have clarified what he said. In a nutshell, he basically said the rant has been correct for the last year or so.
