We have a better pass rush this year and LSU's is not as good. That's a very simplistic way of looking at it but I think it will be the difference. Mett is not very mobile and will shut down vs a good pass rush.

I had heard this and I took a look at recent history and Bama hasn't beaten LSU by double digits at Bryant Denny since 1990. So it would definitely be out of the ordinary if that happens.

Well, I thought UF might have a bunch of sacks against LSU because of mobility issues and their stout D, but they didn't touch him. LSU didn't throw a lot, but still... And I was even more surprised that we ran on them pretty easy without passing much. Our O-line looked really good.
Also, these are the two best receivers I've ever seen in one year at LSU (very physical and fast), so I think that makes LSU a lot tougher this year (to go along with an RB that's averaged over 150 yards per game against the three best Ds he faced and is tied for 2nd in the nation for TDs). LSU's O is tough to defend right now. It's very different than in the past (though last year LSU played over their head on offense against Bama).

No argument here. But I will say he seems more mobile than before. Not implying that he's capable of running the ball or anything. I've just noticed that he's better at avoiding pressure. He's stepped around guys this year and gotten a pass off in situations that would have been a sure sack last year.
