IF my aunt had nuts she'd be my uncle.

I'm all for LSU -- but it's hard to see all those "if's" working to LSU favor.

Out DLine will not likely be able to pressure Tua... quick release and good OLine for pass protection... coupled with "average" pass rush from LSU DLine.

Our secondary is great... but so are their WRs --- and we have given up many "explosive" plays... another advantage Alabama.

Joe Burrow has been a God send... but with pressure he's looked pretty average... so it will take a whole new level of Offensive output to stay with them.

LSU's best and (IMO) only chance to win is to feed off emotion, weather the storm and find a way to create turnovers... keep the momentum on the LSU side and put it on Cole Tracy to kick LSU victory.

I'd line up Avery Atkins and try to steal and on-sides kick too... "steal" a possession, because the down side is what? Bama scores a quick, shorter field TD.... they've scored on long pass plays in each and every game, so probably not much difference in making them go 75 yards vs 50 yards to score and the upside is stealing a possession and momentum for LSU to score from a shorter field.

It's an up hill battle for LSU... but

Whoa! Very bad idea. Think about it. When your kicker sends 85% out the end zone the other team has nothing to do except watch for an onside kick.
