Can't discuss anything from this season either according to your fellow LSU fans since this team is so different now than they were a few weeks ago. Amazing how beating OM has turned LSU into the 85 bears. 
Back to some football talk:
Some comparisons of another team we've faced:
-Arky has two running backs ranked in the top 30 for total rushing yards. LSU has just one RB in the top 50: LF at #40.
-Arkansas currently ranked #15 in rushing offense. LSU @ #24.
-Neither team is very good at passing the ball. Arky @ #91 LSU @#99.
I don't think the comparisons to Arky are that far off in terms of style of offense, and I think the game plan for Bama's defense will be the same. We'll try to shut down the run and make Jennings beat us with his arm. Brandon Allen couldn't do enough to win the game. Can Anthony Jennings do enough to secure the victory? He will have to be the X factor.
I don't think we stop LSU's running game as well as we did Arky. I think you get around 150-170 rushing yards with a good number of those coming off of qb runs.

Of course, of the 8 Arky has played, I see only 3 with a pulse on defense, and I'm not really sure Georgia counts either. So, say what you want, but Wisconsin, MSU, and Ole Miss are a little more heavy loaded than one Alabama team, I'm sorry to say.
(Auburn is offset which is why I didn't include)
