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.

This I agree with, but the problem has consistently been (last 6 years) that...

Bama's dline dominates LSU's oline...plain and simple.

Well when you run an offense as Vanilla as LSU ran for the last 11 years you can stack the line with 7 to 8 guys and stop anybody's ground game. Hell, you could scheme against LSU's offense under Miles with video from 8 years ago because nothing changed. Ever. It is much harder to scheme against the unpredictable. The point is that it wasn't a personell problem as much as it was the offense and play design. That has all changed now.
