re: Early LSU-Bama prediction thread

The matchup isn't as one-sided as it looks. People are overestimating Bama's offense in this thread - it's actually a good matchup for LSU here (average QB and O-line). Henry will surely break off one or two of those long arse runs later in the game, but his consistency will be a problem.

Bama won't stop LF; that's a pipe dream. LSU runs their plays through him because he's that good, not because the rest of the O is that bad. You'd be an idiot not to. Also, he has fewer carries per game than people think.

Finally, BH will cause problems. Look, JJ caused problems in 2011. Jordan Jefferson. Harris is much better than JJ in every way. His stats won't be impressive, but he's going to get some crucial first downs and TDs with his feet. There will be a lot of option plays with him and LF. Just look at our first TD against Auburn - teams justifiably freak out when they see both those guys running sideways and have to pick one.


Not saying LSU wins; I'm saying that LSU has as good of a chance as any. It's going to be a fantastic game like always and I can't wait
