Who the frick downvoted this. LSU and Auburns Are will easily be the toughest games we play until Seccg. LSU game will be close as will Auburn game. Depending on the rest of the season Gus will be coaching for his job. He knows a win over Alabama will guarantee him another year. Ed Orgeron knows he won't get fired but if he wants to win over the 60% of the fan base that doesn't believe in him a win over Bama changes that completely.

I think we maul LSU. I think the Auburn game is dependent on their level of motivation. If they lose to A&M and UGA? We maul them. If they come in with only the loss to LSU, it will be a barn burner (hopefully figuratively as well).

There is a group of 3 or 4 who downvote anything I say. No matter what.

I agree we should pound LSU, but I'm worried about Auburn. Their D has the potential to give us fits.

The OL woes are well noticed by not only the OL but the staff. Pettibone is apparently pushing Cotton hard. If we can’t win straight out they are going to start moving the pocket more and let Jalen roll out more.

Don't worry about it. Everybody here knows what everybody else brings to the board as posters. I personally try to upvote or downvote the post and not the poster.

I guess I'm kind of worried about @AU still. LSU and UT at home don't seem bad. Miss State is and always will be a cupcake.

Looks a lot less daunting than in years past.

AU has great talent they just seem to be unfocused and inconsistently coached. I expect them to bring their best when they face Bama.

If anybody thinks the Auburn game changed at all based on yesterday they are mistaken.

However, if Auburn loses to A&M and/or UGA, that place could be in total burn it down mode by the time we come in.

We're better than LSU every year but they always play us tough. I don't expect like a 30 point victory versus them.

I think the Barn drops UGA. Aggy could be a toss up.


I know we’re playing in their shitty stadium and they always play us tough there, but this is still a pretty mediocre Auburn team.


It wasn’t that long ago that OU embarrassed them in the Sugar Bowl. They have yet to show that they’ve truly improved since then.

I was expecting LSU to drop a few more and be a trainwreck by the time they came to BDS. Unfortunately that won't be the case.

That game will be a 24-10 type game.

I still think we'll beat the shite out of LSU. They won't move the ball an inch and we'll have great field position the entire game. Even with their guys back they still aren't a great run defense. On top of that the game is at home, and we've worn them out in Tuscaloosa the last 3 meetings.

As of today I'd pick us to win 31-10 or something like that.

Bama's handled them pretty easily the past two times in Bryant-Denny.

LSU has no passing attack. Their entire offense is predicated on the jet sweep. Bama's defense always sets the edge really well, so that won't be an issue. Their offense hasn't scored many points against Bama in 10 years, and this is as bad as they've been in that time frame. Their defense is far below their standard as well. I know recency bias is terrible in college football, but let's not forget that this team lost by 30 to Miss State and lost at home to Troy. They also should've had OT versus a god awful Florida squad.

Agree.

Come late November, Gus is gonna be coaching for his life. If he loses to Georgia, but then manages to beat us, he'll probably keep his job.

He's probably at Waffle House right now scheming up new bullshite trick plays and gimmicks to unveil against us.
