Seems to me that every team this year has had their best offensive game of the year against LSU


Hmmmmm.......

The Gumps have been starting fast, while we start slow. A bad combination that could take our running game out of the equation and open the door for a blitz-fest. A few weeks ago, I would have said all we had to do was create a little pressure on SJPW and he would lost the game for Bammer, now I am convinced that we do not know how to pressure the QB. If we could not get to Stafford with a bunch of noobs on the OL, no way do we get to SJPW. Could be UGly Part III.

We'll beat bama. We'll show up for one game this year


We've played two good teams this year and both scored 50+. This was not a fluke. There are serious issues that need to be addressed.

What I think is most likely to happen: If our offense looked rattled at times against UGA and UF then why won't Bama be able to do the same? Saban will blitz and confuse Lee/Hatch. Sure they'll be able to get the ball off to Lafell and Byrd for a couple of big plays but it won't be enough. As a result we'll see lots of points and time of possession for Bama. As we all know the our defense is full of holes and Saban will exploit those holes to score alot of points.

What I'd like to see: The only way we have a chance is if we can establish a solid running game. We gotta bea be able to execute in the red zone and score. And I mean TD's not FG's. Lastly we have to be able control the clock and keep the Bama offense off the damn field.

Anybody saying LSU has no chance to beat Bama knows absolutely nothing about football. Bama is a solid football team, but we matchup well with what they like to do. We are built to stop more traditional offenses and thats what Bama runs. Its going to be an absolute WAR, and I'll take our guys in this war because they will want it more. LSU wins 31-27.

10% chance.

Saban will make life miserable for the QB's.

We will need some freak TD's, like a kick or punt return or maybe a fumbled kick/punt.

I would say we need a turnover TD but I don't know if we have EVER gotten a turnover, much less a score off of it.

This game will be played on emotion. I think the Tigers win this one but it will be close.
