“There’s individual matchups available against LSU,” said an assistant coach who has studied both carefully. “LSU is not, top-to-bottom, 11-strong like Alabama’s defense.”


Pete Jenkins was on the radio this week and disproved this notion. He has worked intimately with both teams and said that the talent level is very close.

No shite? We didn't know he's not the freakish talent that Tua is?

We don't need a Tua. We'd be happy to have one, yes. But what we actually need, is a

We might lose. Probably likely. But anyone overlooking what an LSU offense can do with a very solid, average QB, is foolish.

Obviously the Gumps don’t believe it’s going to be a rout. It’s why the word came down to take DW40 out of the game. If it’s somewhat close at halftime, the Zebras will be directed to take out Greedy and/or Delpit. Also watch for the classic crown of the helmet first tackle on Burrow or whichever RB is causing them problems

No - this is where he exposed himself as a hack.

LSUs pro caliber secondary vs bamas freshmen.

LSUs best MLB in CFB vs bamas underperforming LBs.

Did you read the comments?
It’s mostly coaches, they aren’t “just reading the box score”. It’s just opinions, you may not like the opinions but that doesn’t mean they aren’t knowledgeable

What's the likelihood these are coaches of teams we've already beaten?

We got a superior DC...who was know for taking untalented players and creating a badass defense...so there's that. I do hate that our 2 best d players won't be on the field. Imagine this d if Chiasson doesn't get hurt....

BO WALLACE was pretty average........

I qould agree except that IIRC the Mulligan Game was one of if not the lowest rated CFB championship games in the BCS and CFP era.
