re: Gut feeling says we beat Bama

Something Bama fans and media are ignoring is we have had much lesser LSU teams (Anthony Jennings qb team lol) compete with Bama for 4 quarters at home in the recent past.. no one gave LSU a chance to keep it close those years either.. and now, we're more capable IMO

Even without White I still think you have the advantage at LB. Our LB play hasn’t been that good.

DB you have an advantage, but it isn’t an overwhelming one.

Our kickers suck, if it comes down to that Bama will lose.

Alabama has the a slight advantage in most position groups , the receivers being a big advantage for Bama.

And of course there is Tua. A massive advantage for Bama.

You need him to have an off night to have a chance.

It really comes down to , Judy running free and open by a mile like most of their big plays , on double moves ... I just don’t see that happening against greedy and Fulton ... let them run the hall and slow the game down for them.

Usually sensible w realistic expectations and for some reason I agree. I think we can matchup and I think we beat them. I don’t think Tua bounces around and hits 3rd and 4th options deep like he has all year. We can contain and limit the run game. Couple of 3&outs or short drives, few shitty punts, and we make a few plays on OFF... I think they get rattled. If we can stun them early, both Tiger Stadium and Bama’s schedule thus far become a huge factor.

If that wasn’t a wet one, see a Dr!

Looking for honest opinions...how does this Bama team compare to last years?

The defense took a step back, but is getting better with experience.

The offense is night and day. It's the most lethal offense Bama has ever had, and it's not close. I know I'm going to get arguments about the lack of competition, but just trust me.

Idk why some of you guys think you only have to stop Jeudy. Waddle might be our 2nd best WR. Ruggs is the fastest and Smith is also fast and is a good route runner. Plus there is Irv Smith at TE.

If there is a secondary in college football capable of handling our passing offense it's yours and I'm excited for the game because of that. I want to see how good we really are. But Jeudy is not the key to our offense.

They’ve been great, but it’s hard to imagine them having guys running wide open against this secondary. If that’s not there and the huge back breaker plays aren’t happening, what then? It’s not unreasonable to think that we can eliminate those plays and see if that Offense can answer. I don’t see the weekly avalanche that’s been so impressive happening next Sat.

Auburn and Georgia both had guys wide open deep against us. Unfortunately, Tua has proven much more accurate than a Stidham and Fromm this year on deep balls so I don’t think we will continue our luck with the QB missing open passes. I think we can hold Tua to below 60% completion rate and hopefully can get a couple of turnovers (or more) with picks or fumbles on sacks/scrambles, but he will get his yards. If we hold that offense below 400 yards (I would think they end up with at least 275 passing and 125 rushing). I will be very surprised. We will need points off turnovers or special teams to prove me wrong but I think it’ll be 30-17 Bama. I just don’t see us being dynamic enough on offense to score enough to keep up with their offense.

I agree. I think this Devin White suspension will cause them to play inspired!!
