I’ve pretty much resigned myself to the idea that Bama will score 40 on LSU

The good thing after watching their defense play is that LSU might just hang 50 on them.

A lot of game between now and November for the D to grow and mesh as a unit

been sayin

as of right now anyway

it will be a shootout

unless our D gets much better real fast

cannot get to TUA in time on RPOs

what you gonna do? jam jeudy and waddle at LOS?

play off and they torch you underneath

jam and you had best throw them off route and a man blitz get to tua because if they get off jam and get behind you

goodnight

I expect both defenses to get better. They’re basically mirror images right now. Neither defense has a true leader on the field. Both defenses’ LBs are struggling.

Assuming both improve equally, we have a good shot.

Take chances on D and try to get a couple turnovers. I’d rather take a shot and give up a big play than let them wear us down and keep our offense off the field.

Not sure why you're getting downvotes. You're right. Both teams can score a lot of points. I hope our offense hits on all cylinders that night. I'd be content with a shootout.

Right, and that's about all a fan can expect, a fighting shot.

We have the better offense. A shootout should favor us.

This. With Jeudy/Waddle/Ruggs on the field, we are going to get burned a few times regardless. Same for them against our WRs.

Let’s see if Stingley or Fulton can steal one, or KLC can get a sack fumble and that can be the difference in the game. I like our DBs’ chances since it only takes being +1 or 2 in turnover to win a shootout.

That's right, Fat Bastard, and praise goodness we finally have a coach that can and will do all that same trifling stuff to their D. Let's shoot it out!!!!!!! Call it the O K Corral.

I think our defense will show out by Florida. My prediction for Bama game is its Bama up 24 21.. 3rd and long.. Bama wants to ice the game in the mid 4th quarter. Tua drops back to pass... Chaisson gets pressure... Tua steps up in the pocket and throws into a tight window that Stingley was baiting. Pick motherfricking six.

Our defense holds at the goal line as time expires for the victory. Ed O tears his Achilles celebrating.

If lsu beats bama but gives up 49 in doing so, there will still be people pissed. Just the way this place operates

That's quite the creative little story, AND I'LL TAKE IT! Don't wanna see our head man suffer injury, but....

You are so right. I don’t care if we beat them 101-100. A win is a win and especially against them.

Don't matter as long as we score 41.

I think 76 total points sets the series record

Yeah I’ll take the over on that one. I expect it to look a lot like the UT game with more scoring.

red zone defense.

in last years championship drubbing by Clemson alabama ran the ball up and down the field but couldn't score. the other games were shootouts. that's the era we are in.

it's hard for us lsu fans to get used to but we are going to have to learn to be happy with a 45 -24 win as opposed to 31-10. and in the big close games it might be 45-42.
