Bama is a lot better upfront on both lines if scrimmage.

Alabamas offensive line is 88th in TFL allowed.
LSUs offensive line is 34th in TFL allowed.

Alabamas offensive line is 55th in sacks allowed.
LSUs offensive line is 29th in sacks allowed.

Keep up the uneducated posting though

Have you seen Ole Miss, Southern Miss and Missouri play besides the LSU game. They are horrible football teams and they're Lsu best wins.

I definitely give Bama the advantage on both lines, but I think you are overestimating the gap this year. I think Bama is going to have to connect on passes to score TDS. They will run and get first downs, but I think LSU can stall their drives out eventually with run defense.


Likewise, on the other side, I think LSU will need to have some clever play calling to avoid Bama's pass rushing/run defense. But it's not as huge a task as everyone seems to think

What exactly has brought you to believe they are that much better?

Bama has a better OL and DL. Best pass rush and run defense in the nation. Hurts isn't a good passer but I do believe Bama has better receivers (Ridley, Stewart, and Howard) and thus a more balanced offensive attack.

And of course TWELVE non-offensive TDs. I think LSU has a decent shot at winning but I except 6 in a row to happen.

LSU doesn't have a great win since we fired Les, but that doesn't mean anything. No proof is not proof that LSU is not good.

Who is Alabama's best win? ATm? Y'all are good this year, but I don't consider beating ATM out of the ordinary for Alabama or LSU.

Yes, our best win is against a Top 10 team (by 20), something that roughly 1-2 other teams can also claim. Not sure how we can do better than that.

Yea, Alabama fvcked around late and had to get a few tense first downs after being up 3 TDS, LSU only let Ole Miss have 1 long drive garbage TD.

Bama will be honored just to have the opportunity to be on the same field as the mighty Bayou Bengals.

I hope the Bama players don't all throw their backs out bowing to them as they grace the field.

College, football? It would appear so, and I never said you weren't.

Bama offensive line was close to last in the nation for TFL and negative plays last year and pushed LSU off the ball 4 and 5 yards a play.

This Bama offensive line is better than last years. LSU D-line is the same or worse with the off season injuries. Valentine was bought in and has been a disappointment. LSU has no impact players what so ever on the interior D-line. Just a bunch of tweeners who will be mauled.

I will acknowledge that LSU's linebacker play is substantially better than last year. Debo Jones was awful against the run. He was addition by subtraction. Beckwith has improved and is playing at an extremely high level as well.

What part of my post comes across as LSU is better than Bama?

So much for actually trying to talk football on the SEC rant. Troll on everyone, nothing to see here.... Sigh.
