re: The 1 reason LSU beats Bama

I don't get why all LSU fans think their secondary is head and shoulders above Bama's. I think Mathieu is the best DB in the country and a real playmaker and while the rest of LSU's secondary is exceptional, I wouldn't put them above what the Tide brings to the table. Honestly hard not to call the defenses a wash. Bama has better LB's and LSU's line seems to get more pressure but they play a slightly different style of defense so not really comparing apples to apples. If AJ plays as well as he has thus far and doesn't make mistakes, then Bama will be tough to beat at home but what really sets LSU apart and could easily be the key for them to win the game is the fact they can punt the ball deep and kickoff deep. Punting and kickoffs are the Achilles heel of this Bama team and while against most competition, it is overcome by superior talent everywhere else, in a game with an opponent as equally talented as the Tigers, it may be Bama's downfall.
