quote:

I think truthfully, Alabama gets extremely pumped up for the game. They have a very talented team and one of the best coaches to ever do it. Mixing that plus the fact that their team gets so up for the game, it turns into a bloodbath. Once the game between LSU and Bama has turned into such a big deal they have always come out playing like they want to destroy LSU. There have been a few games since 2011 that we have kept it close, but more often than not they just run over us.

So how do you fix it? How do we match intensity? There is not a 29 point difference in talent between LSU and Bama.

It seems like our intensity level's just not as high as theirs on a normal basis, which makes no sense. They take their cupcakes more seriously than we do, then, of course, they're going to take their big games more seriously.

You have to ask yourself how a team can be even more hyped to beat us when they've done it for 8 years straight. They should be trying to match our intensity.

I know a LB that played form Saban in '09.

He basically tells his front 7 every year that LSU is a "contract game"; that dominating LSU gets you into the NFL. He tells them about all of the NFL scouts that will be in attendance, he knows how to motivate his players by pushing their buttons.

This year Saban's probably going churn his secondary and LBs, given all LSU's preseason hype. He'll probably have posters in the defensive meeting room.

It's like he hurts his players feelings and then blames it on LSU.

CEO has to make the game personal for his players.
