What in the last 3 games makes you think that bama will beat us by 20+?

Our defense is vastly improved with getting players healthy. I doubt they put more than 24 points on us. I think we score at least twice and hopefully more. I just don't see us being beat by 20+
Well, just note that Ole Miss rushed for 153 yds, 2 TDs, and 5.5 YPC. Many of those runs were right up the gut. A couple of those were by the b/up QB (3 for 20 yds).

This is by the 118th ranked rushing offense (by yds/gm)

Yes, the D played better. There is more than enough cause for concern when you're talking about going up against an offense that avgs just under 300 yds/gm on the ground.

For me, I have more confidence in the O than the D in this game. That's not saying much, but the D is indeed the biggest concern, to me.

Yeah if we can make them pass we have a distinct advantage with our back 7 vs Hurts in the air. But can we force them to is the question.

Bama could and very well may run on us but the Ole Miss game rushing stats don't tell the story of what really went on in that game.

Aranda was playing the safeties deep respecting Patterson, Ole Miss ran the same running play that was allowing line man to take out White. They were hoping Aranda would bring a safety in but he didn't budge. why? because LSU had the lead and wanted to run the clock and now Ole Miss was helping the cause. So Patterson got frustrated and threw deep anyway and sure enough int from our safety.

Once we had a two score lead late in the 3RD he brings the safety up and Delpit fills the gap.

Again I'm not saying Bama won't have success running on LSU but I'm pretty sure Aranda doesn't respect Hurts passing abilities as much as Patersons.
