Alabama has a better defensive line than LSU

Alabama has a better offensive line than LSU

This is obvious. Why do Alabama posters feel the need to let everyone know? Can't be insecurity, because they are a dynasty. I'm just curious.

Do you people really think LF sucks because he couldn't run for 50 yards twice in a row against Alabama D line?

I think LF is the best RB in college football by a lot. I'm starting to think Moffit has been at LSU too long and this has become a strength and conditioning issue and motivation issue. It's just time for all new blood at LSU!

Great game until the 4th. You guys are just too powerful. We got tired and the better team won.

Some fans may say refs made a bunch of bad calls, but the same end result would have happened anyway. Tired of losing to you frickers. You end our NC hopes 6 years straight.

Ok done melting. At least the saints won

Oh, but it is, and it's baffling. InsecureU. It's my only knock against their fans. For being probably the greatest college football program of all time, many of their fans sure don't act like they know what it's like to be the best.

Fournette is a very good rb. I think the Alabama defensive front 7 is just better than your offensive line, and the whole defense takes it as a challenge to try to stop Fournette.

This is a really good point, but Alabama's S&C guy is a Moffif disciple. Regardless, LSU's offensive line got embarrassed.

I think the recruiting philosophy needs to change. LSU loads up on skill players that either sit on the bench or transfer under miles while Alabama focuses on the OLine and defensive front seven.

Grimes has been average and is not an improvement over Studd.

Whatever happened to just good old fashioned bragging rights? Is that not okay anymore? It's all for fun.

I've been saying this for a few years. LSU folks get hung up on the skill positions which LSU does recruit the hell out of. Problem is you have one football and 12 receivers, well, .....
That's why the NFL thing is so skewed\. ONLY skill players, ONLY skill players get any pub. However, Bama has more o and D lineman in the NFL than any other school right now. That also correlates to beating LSU on the field.

Somebody once asked jimmy Johnson how Spurrier only won one national title at Florida and he said "because he has no pass rush and only has a successful running game because everybody plays 7 DB's against him, which is fine but he can't line up and beat anybody at the line of scrimmage. I would loved to have played him in college".

This right here. I don't care what anyone says LSU is the biggest game to Nick Saban. I know you have Tenn/Auburn but to Nick this is his biggest game, and
his players play like it.

Are you saying LSU doesn't do well with OL and DL? Maybe not this year, but over the last 10 or so they are probably 2nd best to Bama in both areas.

That's a generous way to put it. Hes been serviceable at best. But he has this terrible habit of playing guys out of position so we spend all season watching NFL-quality guards getting their butts whipped trying to stop speed rushers from the O-tackle position.

Insecure U, brother...that's what happens when all you have going for you in life is Alabama football.

This is some of my favorite stuff on here. It isn't insecurity to talk shite about how good we are. Stop whining that we aren't gracious enough winners.

I wish LSU could get the linebackers like Alabama. Every year Alabama has an amazing linebacking core.

THey werent recruited hard by Chavis. I think that trend will change under Aranda. The front 7 are his focus

Beckworth and Riley were probably your two best defenders last Saturday.
