re: LSU vs Bama 2016

Every year it was always the year that they would beat bama and it still hasn't happened, I wonder what these guys will say in the first few games when they see how much better this defense has gotten. They forgot the years that we won our front 7 wasn't as deep as last year and we still won handily.

Brandon Harris is largely the reason for conservative play calling.

no he's not, what an ignorant post. Fournette is the reason for the conservative play calling. Miles believed he could ride that horse to Atlanta. He was clearly wrong.

L5U has scored more than 17 points on Bama exactly once in the last 7 meetings.

Maybe you are right but you would think that the passing game would be key in beating last year's Bama squad considering you just couldn't run it on them. Harris isn't competent enough to open the playbook. I'm thrilled to know that he will lead your offense again. I'm not gonna say anything else about it though cause we may strut out a below average qb this year too. I'm more than a little worried about it.

Really what about

robinson, reed, ragland, devall, lee, cy jones and geno smith? They all decided to return for one more season?

NO NO NO

bama'a backups of '15 are this year's starters. Who are the backups this year that are better than LSU's starters?

payne 15 games played 13 total tackles
williams 15 games played 19 total tackles
evans 14 games played 10 total tackles
hand 15 games played 16 total tackles

I can see why you are so excited about those four new starters.

Godchaux would start at either DE or NG.
Beckwith would start at ILB
T White starter at CB
Adams starter a safety.
Toliver definitely either nickle or dime back
D Jackson in the mix in secondary (world class speed).

ARDEN KEY designated pass rusher. Would lead the nation in sacks.

LSU's secondary has post season honor winners at CB and safety. They go SEVEN deep with quality and experience.

Could you please name bama's two deep secondary?

Robinson and reed production didnt compare to Allen and Williams, and you bring up Cy jones, well we replaced his side with fitzpatrick (who led the team with passes defended) and we have eddie jackson (the leader in INT's). U can focus on us losing those guys all you want but when u have a team that have 5 stars on the third string then u really won't give a shite who leaves. Stop focussing on who left and what they did and think about who we have left and what their potential is if you are gonna talk about Bamas D this year

I have never seen a program try to latch on to another to remain relevant. LSU and Bama are not rivals. They are not comparable in accomplishments. The last few years Bama has had more contested match ups with other teams in the west. Ole Miss, Arky and Auburn have all presented much tougher games than LSU.

LSU is dead and no matter how much they try to hype this game and its importance.

The golden age of LSU football ended when Nick Saban signed his 1st # 1 recuiting class at Bama in 2008. LSU has won the SECw 1 time since then and they were not even the best team in the west that year(21-0). 1 division title in 8 years. LSU is finished and November will remove the cloud of delusion. Hopefully clarity on thier place in college football will bring an inner peace and wounds from past beatings can start to heal.

I never said Key would start. He would be the designated pass rusher. He would get to sip a mint julip on the sidelines for first and second down. Come in on third and long and lead the country in sacks.

Godchaux would START. LSU has five Dlinemen better than frazier. Neal, LaCoture and Herron would all play. Hell even Gillmore would be in the rotation at NT.

T White and J Adams would both start in the secondary. Toliver would be in the mix for nickle or dime back. Because of his world class speed D Jackson would see the field in some capacity also.

LSU "D" is loaded with talent and returns even more experience.

This should be LSU's year. Home game, much more experienced starters than Bama, and a future Heisman finalist in the backfield.

That's about as much advantage as a team can get in this series. If you guys don't win it this year, well...
