re: The key to beating alabama

Saban recruited and schemed specifically to beat LSU since around 2009. He's always seen LSU as his biggest obstacle to winning the West.
Miles offense was fine against most teams. Alabama was built specifically to stop it though, so it didn't work against them.
That is also the reason why Alabama has been susceptible to spread option teams that have beaten them in recent years like Ole Miss, A&M, Clemson and OSU.
With Miles gone, Saban will adjust and will retool his defense to stop the likes of Clemson more than the traditional LSU offense.

Did you happen to notice Tim Williams and Ryan Anderson the past two years? Fast twitch guys on the edges. Ruben Foster? Not exactly the plodding type like Hightower and McClain were. Their interior guys aren't 350 anymore, they're 290-300. He just hasn't figured out how to stop teams with near equal talent.
Saban already HAS retooled, he just could afford to have his safeties 3 yards off the line of scrimmage because LSU was going to run no matter what.
