No one is talking about how LSU has the 6th best rushing defense in college football giving up just 93 ypg. 3.25 ypc. How is Alabama going to run against LSU with that crap offensive line?

All week people have said that Fournette won't run against Alabama's front 7. But, the more likely scenario is that Alabama won't be able to run against LSU.

This means that Coker is going to have to beat LSU through the air. Which is possible if LSU has breakdowns in the secondary like they have had earlier in the season.

Tre White will be back.

Jalen Mills will be back. That will be key to communication in the secondary and to eliminating the breakdowns.

LSU has been pointing everything to this game all season. I just don't see where Alabama's points or yards are going to come from.

Should be a good night for the Tigers.

I agree.

Granted, Henry is unlike any RB LSU has seen thus far, I just don't Henry being able to carry Alabama. Throw in the fact that Coker has looked like a scared schoolgirl at home all year and couple that with the premise that LSU is driving to a National Championship this year...

I don't think this game is close.

LSU 38
Bama 13.

I agree somewhat but LSU has not faced a really good running team to determine how good their run defense is. Regardless of success Bama has to continue to run the ball and allow the lack of depth on the defensive line to show up in the fourth quarter.

We're going to fill the bottom of you guys cleats with bars of soap and the crowd has scheduled when and where to throw banana peelins onto the field. I've gotten pretty good with my accuracy here lately, but I need to watch some more tape on Uncle Rico to perfect my throwing distance

Another point total that you have been unable to achieve against lesser competition.

The typical comment will be: Who has LSU played that can run worth a crap? Nobody in the top 50 so far and one of the key reasons LSU beat Florida (no ground game). This will quickly be followed by folks saying, "LSU made them that bad with their D".

The reality: Both teams want to force the opponents to run inside. Both teams want to force the opponents QB to make plays. Offensively, whether anyone wants to admit it or not these two teams are almost identical.

Both will have success running. Both will have success passing. He who makes the most mistakes loses (I'm watching you, Kiffin!). Seems like SOSDD for this game. Cannot wait!

Know how I know you haven't watched an Alabama game this year?

Let's go there. Ok, he most certainly HAS thrown picks. First two games of the season he was throwing to nowhere and nobody in particular. However, he now averages less than one pick per game. I'd call that improvement. Still a liability, but definitely better. As far as a scared schoolgirl, he has added the ability to run on occasion and has a strong tendency to lower the shoulder on DBs to some startling success.

We did make Florida run backwards on a a significant amount of their carries. They stopped running consistently after that. Eh

Oh, I make no claims to having an all-world back like LF7, however, statistically when you factor rushing AND passing the two teams are 50 and 48.

Actually, LSU is 28 and Bama is 49

If you just look at total offense and not efficiency.

On third down, LSU is 25 and Bama is 111. That's gonna kill you guys IMO
