Isn't this one of the hardest games ever to predict?

On one hand, Alabama appears to be the more physical team. Not much, but a edge nonetheless. On lsu, they are so dynamic and unpredictable. It's almost like they want to be challenged. After the first quarter of the Florida game, it's like they didn't even care and just sleepwalked through the second half.
On the other hand Alabama is just a machine that bludgeons you to death with pure brute force.
Alabama - more physical and intimidating
Lsu - faster by a hair overall with dynamic playmaking ability. And hopefully the depth to stay as physical for 4 quarters
Alabamas defense is almost all uperclassmen, that are always in position
Lsu has alot of looks on the offense with 2 senior qb's with a great oline blocking TE's and full backs.
Lsu has the athletes the put 7 or 8 in the box and cover up the recievers. I know our defense doesn't play their defense so comparing them is stupid. But alabamas defense in my mind would stop any college offense I have ever seen. So I don't know if we will be able to move the ball at all.
It may end up that our defense might have to score. And if we can't stop Richardson we are in trouble
Honestly, I have no idea what makes lsu fans so confident. I have serious doubts about being able to run the ball on the tide. Ultimately, we might have to hope bama makes some mistakes. Both teams are so good, that both should be able to find the one weekness, attack it and the route will on. Part of me believes it will be a blowout I just don't know if lsu will be the statue or the pigeon.
With 2 weeks of rest and in the case of ware, lonergran, trex, Adams and Simon, 3 weeks.
In a game like this, expierience and toughness would seem to have the edge. Along with the home field advantage the tide clearly have the edge, and I am not so confident AT ALL. I just hope its a good close game that is played clean.

not for LSU fans
seems to be a consensus the Tigers will win by at least 3 TDs

Not this lsu fan. If AU wasn't so fricking stupid and kept giving us the game in the first half, most lsu fans wouldn't be so confident either. I think it was not a good thing to have a blowout like we did vs the game the tide had. Everyone is over confident now.
Bama will stomp that AU team just the same.

Bet there won't be any flames in here.

Good Post. All the fans that seem so confident mainly reveals that they just want to talk a bunch of BS because this game really could go either way from all any of us could see at this point.

Another thing that bugs me. Trent Richardson is a special player. I don't like special players, because in the end there is only one ball. And you usually end up on the wrong side of the corn hole with special players.
Tebow, newton, dmac etc. hate them all. Lsu does not have any "special" players.
Trent is the best running back I have ever seen in college.

is this some sort of reverse psychology?

Whatever. Preach on if it makes you feel better. But yes, if you tend to present no argument there generally won't be one.

Look man it's cool if you're being sincere and all, but don't doubt your team either. That's part of being a fan. That being said, I completely agree with you about this game being the hardest ever to predict. I want to think that it's going to be a close 1-3 point game going either way, but part of me also believe it could get embarassing in the end for either team. Just don't know either way it goes.

I telling you, there will be a chink in the armor some where and it will be exploited. If you have noticed that is what both of these teams have been doing, but at the same time, not giving up more then they have too. I can't wait to see all the different formations and blitz packages that will be presented. But as far as philosophy goes, both team have found the week link and have exploited every team they have played.
But we don't have any.
So it appears.

I'm not worried.
LSU is great -- but they don't have it.
Alabama 27-14

I'll tell you the truth, I'm a little confused by your tactics
I'm gonna keep acting tough until I figure it out alright

Perhaps we would play better against Bama if we would have looked crappy against Auburn?....Dude, there is a reason we curb stomp every opponent. It's the same reason Bama curb stomps every opponent. From what I've seen from this LSU team, win or lose, I don't care how physical Bama is, or how hard they hit, LSU will not back down. The Gumps better be ready for war!!!

no one is out to get you. I promise.
I am a little delirious, very tired. Knowing how mentally exhausted I will be come game time, can't imagine how the players feel. shite, I am tired of the game already

I'm not confident at all...Heck, I was shaking for the UF and AU game. This game will be unreal. That's what makes this game so special. Hopefully it lives up to the hype. Neither Bama nor LSU are slouches. I love this game!!!

I have thought all season that the team that looked stellar the week before would be the loser. And tbh with us playing UT, I really though it would be us.
I have watched the first half of the UT game about seven times, and every time I see something I didnt see before. We ran about 4 defensive formations I have never seen before. We put alot of guys in different positions. Smelly our half back had a terrible game. Every guy he tried to block blasted him and often made the tackle. His routes were bad and the defender affected him all night.
There are definitely chinks in both teams armor.
