The game will be decided by less than 10 points either way. We're not blowing out Saban in Tuscaloosa.

Who knows what will happen. I’m just optimistic that LSU’s offense will put up a good chunk of points as usual. Other than that… who tf knows

I have stats that back me up.


What do you have?
First off, relax because I generally agree with you here I'm just saying that the concern is valid

Second, Alabama plays a much slower paced offense, so their stats are not going to compare well with others. That does not mean they aren't efficient. Their offense this year is built to play into their defense. Teams that run more than they pass will have less yards than a pass happy offense 99% of the time.

Look at the score predictions and it’s like y’all think we are playing 2019 LSU

Years of PTSD from watching LSU play Bama and either getting completely embarrassed or winning until the final drive and having them rip our hearts out will do that.

I honestly don’t know what to expect. On one hand I think our defense loses this for us but on the other hand I think our offense destroys them.

I wouldn't worry about it. It's a game played by boys in college, and the play for two different schools.

I went to a high school football game a couple of times this season out here in West Louisiana. Pretty much the same thing - boys in school playing football against each others.

I enjoy supporting the community and I hope that the local boys win this one on, what is it - Saturday night?

Anyway, go team. I hope that the La. school wins.

Everyone keeps throwing out that the only teams our defense has looked good against is Auburn and Army but totally discount the 2nd half of Mizzou. There have been 10 consecutive qtrs of improved defensive football. And Mizzou was on the road against one of the better offenses in the conference. Yes we are missing Wengo but he has been playing hurt so I don't think that is as much of a loss as some think. Yes we lose ZY but if our freshmen can step up and simply prevent the big play LSU has an excellent chance of beating Bama on the road. And if our offense continues to shine we will outscore Bama.

except what he said is true and what you said is not.

Neither are true. Alabama is closer to Miss State offense than Ole Miss????

No. Their coaching staff made the corrections you'd expect them to make from early on in the year and now theyre humming. Milroe is the 5th most efficient QB in the SEC right now and Dart is second. Rogers is 13th. Ole Miss offense is ranked 15th in the SP+ rankings, Bama is 18th. Miss State is 61.

They are going to put up points on our defense.

And arkansas put up 21 on bamas defense. Arkansas is always going to play us harder. It's a rivalry game.

They average 5.5 yards per play which is 64th in the country. They average 28.4 estimated points per game. They aren't efficient

Alabama is 33rd in the nation in total Punts. which is a great measure of how often your drives aren’t ending in points.

Meaning on 32 teams have. punted more than Bama.

Alabama is 61st in Time of Possession.

they actually hold onto the ball for less time per game than we do and we’re a high paced offense.

their offense is just bad.
