Perfect season for LSU's expanded passing attack, and here's why.

ESPN - Breaking down each top 25 team's weakest link.

No.1 Alabama: Secondary
Alabama didn't lose just one or two defensive backs. It lost all four starters in the secondary, plus its top reserve. Oh, and it also has a new position coach in Karl Scott. -- Alex Scarborough

LSU moving to a more pass happy offense, and with a high caliber passing QB to lead it, couldn't come at a better time for the Tigers, especially with Alabama suffering its greatest losses in the secondary during Saban's tenure.

LSU and Burrow gonna rock Bama's world.

Bama’s front 7 has covered their terrible cb play for years. Until we get the mules on our front to stop that it will be the same story different day. I like where our Oline is at right now and the players we have coming in the future though

So we're only playing one game this season?

The Bama obsession goes on. Winners focus on winning and losers focus on winners. Let's get our own house in order.

That's why losing Surtain to them stings even more. Agreed about their front 7 but I think this year we finally have not only the players upfront to compete we have depth which we desperately needed for years!

This is like saying LSU's weak spot is the secondary. It's more of an unknown than a weak spot. Bama reloads DBs just like LSU does. We just have a better DB coach

Also, how the hell does Bama having a "weak" secondary make this the perfect season for LSU's passing attack? We have 11 other games. 3 against really good defenses and another 2 against defenses that should be on the rise.

Yeah, damn straight!! Plus, their head coach knows nothing about coaching defensive backs.

How many years in a row do people have to talk about Bama losing a lot of players before they realize it doesn't matter? Saban just reloads. And he specializes in the defensive backfield. Bama's secondary will be nasty until proven otherwise.

This topic cannot be completely explored without asking how the LSU OL pass protection will be. Based on the Spring game alone, that issue represents a serious flaw in the OP's argument. And the discussions about Bama's front 7 are dead on...

The problem is that we always play Bama late in the season after they have a bye week to prepare, and any weakness they had before has been addressed by then.

I bet Surtain is starting by the end of year, maybe beginning of the year.

That's gonna sting.
