re: Chance bama comes out a little flat?

I agree 100%. I don’t see how we survive with this inconsistent offense. What is the deal with our adversion to the red zone? It’s like there’s a force field on the 10 yard line.

I agree but we have to bring pressure. We really haven’t brought many blitz packages this season so we’ll see what happens. Have to get to Tua, contain him, and rattle him so he isn’t on his game. Hopefully we can get to him and he won’t be too comfortable in the pocket to make the passes he usually does. We have to try it because if we don’t, then it will be a long night. Have to get him out of his comfort zone.

We really have nothing to lose. We’re already expected to not win so gotta do something. It’s worth a shot

Seems like year after year our defense does a decent job of containing Bama's offense regardless of how dominant they looked going into the game. I'm confident Aranda will have a plan to limit chunk plays and make them earn every yard.

Joe Burrow is the x factor this year that we didn't have last season. He can make the plays downfield that Etling couldn't when we had receivers running open in their secondary in Tuscaloosa.

Exactly right. 2016 Alabama scored 10 points. It didn't matter because LSU scored 0. It will come down to our offense producing.

LSU will show up on defense but Alabama is going to score points.

Will LSU’s offense finish drives?

This is the only question. Yes, Alabama will score. Can LSU match them punch for punch?

Our offense has been completely shut down for large portions of numerous games this year (Florida, Mississippi State), and even against Georgia we resorted to kicking field goals on most trips inside the 25.

I doubt LSU can recover if we get down by double digits.
