re: Can LSU beat Bama without big plays?

Agree. As with the Ole Miss game, get the ball to them quickly outside to make Alabama's big interior guys run hard and hopefully tire themselves, and hopefully get Fournette/Guice (especially Fournette) one on one opportunities against Alabama defensive backs. If he breaks one tackle in 3-4 attempts it could be for a huge gain.

From Wikipedia:
Top-ranked LSU defeated sixth-ranked, rival Ole Miss, 14–0 in a game dominated by defense and penalties. 68,000 fans packed Tiger Stadium to watch the Tigers win their first game against the Rebels since 1950. Ole Miss was LSU's most bitter rival at the time, and fans who heard and read about the Chinese Bandits and Billy Cannon wanted to see them first-hand. "It's not a rivalry because somebody says it is," said Cannon, "or because you've been playing against a team for a long time. It's a rivalry when two good teams meet and either one could walk out the winner. This was a rivalry."[34] Banners were strung around the LSU campus with the words "Go to Hell, Ole Miss." Later, a plane dropped leaflets on campus that read "Go to Hell, LSU." Some thought Dietzel was responsible, hoping to fire up his team for the game, but he denied responsibility."
When I was a student at LSU in 1970 a P.E. teacher named Bill Bankhead told us he was one of the cheerleaders in 1958 and that was when they started using it. My memory is a bit vague, but I think he even said that he was the first to use it.

With these public comments chiding LSU/Alleva, Sankey has now doubled down on his stupidity and incompetence.
re: Play Florida on November 19th... Keep South Alabama home game

This solution would be great for LSU but a terrible injustice to Arkansas, and I don't see how they could accept it. They would be asked to trade a very favorable date for their LSU game (catching LSU the week after LSU plays a very emotional and physical game against Alabama), and in return they get to play a killer five game stretch that no team would want to face (Alabama on 10/8, Ole Miss on 10/15, Auburn on 10/22, LSU on 10/29, Florida on 11/5).
