On defense I feel like if we can contain jalen hurts and not let him run freely we will be alright. He is a true freshmen playing in tiger stadium and we should rattle that mutherfricker. I am not scared of their offense.
On offense we have to try to not get etling killed and I have a feeling we may need brandon harris late in the game because I feel like etling is going to take a lot of hits. We really need to double team tim williams because he is going to abuse teahuma and I wish somebody can blindside Reuben foster. The oline is going to have to play 100% in this game for s to win.
We just had to take shots down field on their weakest link on defense and Eddie jackson who is their leader back there is out. I don't think we will run the ball well but etling, the wrs, and special teams are going to have to win this game
Since miles is gone I finally have hope we can pull it off and feel better then before. I don't know if we will win but with the passing game opening up now I feel better then that crap we did last year.

Get them in third and longs. Hurts is not a polished passer.

We must be able to run the ball. If we can't run the it will be a long game.

Line up, keep punching them in the face, contain the edge, play smart assignment football. Play with passion. Refuse to lose.

Like last night.

Stop their run game
Force jalen Jefferson to pass
Snap their non offensive TD streak

Do this and we got a shot

The battle has to be won through the air.

Bama will make sure to keep Fournette in check like last year. We're not going to pound the rock on their front 7.

Our gameplan needs to center around a neutralized ground game, and protecting etling as much as possible.

Yup. Man if there is ever a time when we need big plays on Special Teams, this is the game. Being at home a huge plus. Keep composure, protect the ball and execute. The Tigers will have a plan B, and a plan C on Nov 5th, and that knowledge alone makes me believe.

You gonna have to use a some moving pockets as well. Danny is comfortable throwing on the run, and LSU will need to move that pocket to keep him from being a sitting duck for that D to tee off on him.

Win the turnover battle
Don't give them defensive or ST TD's
Hit a few big plays to get the crowd going
Protect Etling
Force hurts to make plays with his arm
Throw some wrinkles at them they aren't prepared for

The key to beating Alabama is simple yet difficult because if their talent. On both sides of the ball you have to win on first down. You can't let them dictate the game by winning first downs.

Protect Etling. That's the ultimate key.

He gets good protection...we can complete intermediate passes for first downs...we can loosen them up enough for our punishing run game to get on track...the defense can stay off the field enough and keep the game close enough to be able to play freely

2012 and 2014 all over again...

Without Chavis

With a freshman, not AJ or 6th year senior Simms at Qb trying to win the game for them

I say let Williams rush wide and slip a rb out for a screen early on. Let him stay aggressive and burn him on it. Then, he will have to consider the play call and be back on heels more often. We can run right through him then. There dbs will pass interfere every play....they are basically coached to do so. We have to be competitive in the air and block them out and use our shoulders and elbows to gain leverage. Etling is key.......Bama likes to play man to man.....he will need to step up and run at times. I think we will still run the ball a ton, but i'm hoping to see misdirection and really make the lbs and safeties work laterally. We do not need to double team Williams in my opinion, but we have to take good drop steps. Throwing to the rb/fb/te releasing will be big in this game.

OL, OL, and MORE OL. They need to keep Bama out of the backfield. Give DE some time, and provide LF/Guice a crease. Just a crease to bust a few runs to sustain drives, win the TOP/Field Pos, and get points. Game will be worn in the trenches.

D needs to withstand the ground/pound, and force their young qb into mistakes. He threw two picks in the 1st half v TAM. Put pressure on him....and HIT him when he runs.

We got this!

Run almost every play out of shotgun with both RBs standing next to Etling. Run a lot of read option fakes that involve both RBs. You have to make their defenders hesitate cause we won't be able to run it against them straight up. The biggest thing for Etling is he cannot turn the ball over at all.
