From what they've shown it doesn't look that good. Coker has a slow release, he's not that accurate, and their receivers aren't that impressive. Henry is a train, but they don't have a playmaker that scares you like LSU has in Dupre or Dural. I think LSU will be able to do to Bama what teams did to LSU last year. Stack it with 8-9 and take chances.

Bama won't be able to do that to LSU. LSU has the better OL, better QB, better RB, and better WRs. A caliber of offense that Alabama has yet to see this year. Texas A&M doesn't have a good offense IMO. They can't run a lick just like Ole Miss.

Yet Bama gets the benefit of the doubt on how good they're "team" is. Their offense sucks.

Bama is good. It's going to be a slug fest.

I'm focusing on WKU in my fan preparations. We should all take it one week at a time. The team could easily lose if we talk about Bama.

What encourages me is that we haven't played our best game of the year yet. I hope we get that on 11/7 or the entire month of November.

Basically, they are LSU 2011: Great defense, below average offense riding it's coattails.

I really think it comes down to ratings and ' ama is the clear winner. That means money. You may be correct about the Tide O, but LSU has a secondary that goes taffy now and again.

Look for some very curious calls if the game goes against 'Bama.

Agreed, but Coker is a gamer. He likes to improvise and can break the playbook open. This can also lead to a lot of mistakes if the defense plays it right.

ut they don't have a playmaker that scares you


Agreed.

quote:

LSU has in Dupre or Dura


Meh. They are talented. I don't think they "scare" anybody.

quote:

This will be the gameplan in the first half.

quote:

Bama won't be able to do that to LSU


They will absolutely try it.

LSU has the better OL, better QB, better RB, and better WRs.


Agreed, but those players aren't playing against Bama's offense. They have to play Bama's defense.

Take off the purple and gold glasses for a minute. Bama's strength is all in the depth of the defense. They have a semi-NFL level depth chart right now. They will be able to run the ball at times. Bama has not seen a power team like LSU this year though. If anyone can get push on their front 7, its us. If we can do that, we have a very good shot. LSU will have to force them to turn the ball over. That's the key to beating a Nick Saban team. Also, neither team will want to play special teams. Looks for Miles to go for it on 4th and short in this one.

Their OL is not very good this year. I think our DL can hold him in check. Just a question of whether "DBU" will make Coker pay for mistakes.

I only have minor disagreements with your version, but that was enough for an upvote

Its sort of a myth about their Oline. Its not as good as the 2011/2012 team, but they have their moments. They are a very good run blocking team, but seem to get lost in the passing game. We as LSU fans know this type of line very well. I don't think they are elite, but its not like they are hot garbage either. Still a better line than any SEC opponent we've faced yet (somewhere around 3rd-4th best in the conference)

Two things to not look over about Bama's offense ...

1. Calvin Ridley has been hot lately

2. Coker's ability to run/escape pocket

Ridley the true FS WR is nasty. He is going to be a good one.

Where we will be fortunate is that even if they are having success running against us, which is what their team is built upon, Kiffin will inexplicably abandon the run game for no reason late in the game.

Half of your 5 post have talked about how LSU can't beat Bama.


Me smells an alter.
