this will be our olines toughest test by far

Their DL has not remotely faced another team that is as physical as our OL or running game. We've faced a great defense in UF, we're at least somewhat prepared for a battle.

ETA: There are a lot of soft people in this thread. Bama has barely proven anything. They blew out an extremely average Georgia team. They squeaked by Tennessee, and lost to Ole Miss. They've played a couple of good teams, and haven't done great. I would say LSU vs MSU/UF is actually harder than UT/OM...and we're still undefeated.

People don't realize that teams don't carrryover. This isn't last year, this isn't the year before, this isn't 1/9/12. I watched the entire game from 2014 last night...made me sick. LSU is a completely different team than last year, and we're significantly better! Our offense is on a whole new world, and our front 7 is even better! People say "Nick has Les's number." People forget that one or two plays dictated that entire game. LSU had the ball at the 8 yard line, our OL players are getting shoved and drug off a pile, and Ritter throws a flag that puts LSU in an impossible situation. Fast forward to OT, and we throw a jump ball in the end zone and our WR gets raped. Also, last drive of the game for Bama there was a catch that should have been reviewed and the refs didn't review it. I'm not blaming refs, I'm just pointing out key moments that hindered our ability to win. All this from a team that finished 8-5 and was overall an extremely average team. Bama was supposed to be dominant and amazing last year, and yet there we were almost pulling off the upset. Well we are twice the team this year, they aren't as good as they were last year, and we're gonna slap our dicks on their faces Saturday night. Amari Cooper isn't walking through that door Saturday night...we finna eat.
