This morning on Mike and Mike, Herbie was on and they asked him what was wrong with the Gump offense and he said, "Florida State's defense is very good! They have a LSU defense!"

At least somebody is realizing how good we are!

With limited exceptions, LSU's defense has been the only group that can generally stand toe-to-toe with Bama's personnel. He may not admit it, but LSU is probably the only SEC team that creates some degree of concern for Saban. He knows that generally LSU's starting 11 (particularly on defense) can match up man for man with his guys.

If only we had "an LSU" defense in 2013...

He said the same on the broadcast, it was nice to hear. I didn't hear him dismiss LSU as a threat, but we haven't beat them in 6 years. Can you blame him? It's been long enough that LSU is going to have to prove they are contenders again. We aren't getting the benefit of the doubt like we used to, and frankly, I think it's good for the program that there is a fresh need to prove ourselves.

Uhhh.. maybe their offense sucks too. Jalen Hurts is not a good QB. They have one WR. Loaded at RB.

Overall - not impressed with Bama's offense.

LSU's defense is back now in thanks to Dave fricking Aranda, thank you Aranda. But it disappeared when Chavis was in control, dude was a horrible DC and people couldn't see it at first, but I did. LSU's great athletes made him look good like they make every coach look good, but he gave up yards in chunks because of that crap he had them playing. But now Aranda has returned them back to the dominant D they were and yes, I have to say it, back to the dominant D they were when coach Saban was there.

Herbie hadn't seen the LSU D play, he was calling the Bama/FSU game. His statement is his way of back pedaling from that position.

They gave up 24 to Alabama. Not sure that is a compliment.

OJ Howard Compares NFL to Playing an Alabama vs LSU Matchup Everyday

There is nothing more to say. Saban most certainly emphasizes the times Bama plays LSU. And the players clearly focus on it, which makes sense since so many are recruited from Louisiana to Bama and from Alabama to LSU. There is an intense rivalry. Bama and LSU deliver each other the best each one has to offer and it has been that way since before 2011.
