Seeing a lot of doom and gloom/disbelief on this board. Defense is much improved and vegas knows it:

2019 spread: Alabama -6

2023 spread: Alabama -3

Just something to think about, I am not doing the research, but my guess is this will be the closest LSU/Bama spread in 10 years or so.

Heh?


We gave up 39 points and 527 yards to Missouri and then played spectacularly shitty offenses in Auburn and Army. We've since lost a starting defensive lineman and starting corner.


What are you basing this improvement on?

That is not why Vegas has the game close. It has absolutely nothing to do with our defense and everything to do with our offense.

Like 2019, we have the BEST player on the field Saturday night. No other way to say it, and there is no argument.
JD will make plays, with his arm and his feet, all game. I expect Bama's DEF to give him some issues, but over 4 quarters (and then some if needed) he'll get the ball out and downfield.
We needed JB to do the same in 2019, and he sure did.
Let's get it done.

I said in another thread that my guess is 2010 was the last time LSU were favored or smaller underdogs but I’m not sure they were even then

They've improved from an F-minus to a solid-D.

Champions aren't graded on a bell curve.

We have improved from putrid to below average so there has been some improvement.
