We'll lose ugly if we turn it over 4x again. We'll either win a close one or Bama will blow us out is how I see it.

I don't see Amari shredding our D but you never know. Field position is always huge in this game so I think ST will be the deciding factor. LSU 21 Bama 20

why? because their name is bama?

They have played one good team this year, and lost...other than that it has been garbage teams. Their tough part of the schedule is coming....just like Ole Miss.

Have you watched them play on the road this year? Truth is, LSU has improved dramatically, and should have beaten Ole Miss by at least 14-17 points without turnovers......a turnover free football game from LSU, and I can easily see LSU winning comfortably....I'm being honest. Alabama is not impressive, and again, they have played no one other than Ole Miss....don't let their "HYPE" get to you.

At the end of the day LSU is still the team BAMA is built to beat. We have gotten faster over the past few years because nowadays you have to have speed to stop the up tempo teams. Back in '09 - "12 you could win by having the biggest and strongest guys. Now though you need speed. LSU is still the style/type of team we are best suited to grind it out with and beat. However the same exact thing can be said about LSU. Im expecting a grind it out field position game.

J.K. Scott 4 Heisman (or at least Ray Guy).

I'm tempted to advocate an empty return formation on punts, let's just try to block it and let the ball fall where it may. Christion Jones is responsible for several trips to cardiologists this year.

considering how well bama and sims have done on the road this year, tiger stadium should be a cake walk. I mean, it's not even loud in there, right?

Our special teams aren't as good as usual.

Very inconsistent punter, and in my opinion and inconsistent kicker.

I love Delahoussaye, but he's missed 2 extra points and a short FG this year. I trust him, but not 100%.

Our punt coverage has been shaky too (a lot of the times because our punter hits lousy ones).

We have a good punt return game, though.

Griffith was solid at the beginning of the year but has looked inconsistent in the past several weeks. Supposedly he had an injury.

Scott is a monster and a beanpole.

Return defense is either monstrous or porous. Typically teams have better success returning on the perimeters.

Punt return D has been solid as frick.

Kickoff returns are pretty average, not much to rave or rant about other than Jones' fumble against OM.

Punt returns scare the frick out of me.

TS is going to be at the top of its game next Saturday night. Being a home dog in a night game against LSUs biggest rival will have the fans in a frenzy.

Sims has played relatively poorly in much less hostile environments than what is coming this weekend.

Therefore I think how Sims handles the environment is the biggest key to the game.

Whether or not Robinson will be able to play is crucial, IMO. Our run game is not nearly as good without him.

I think this is the game where LSU sees how important Harris is to our future. Alabama will exploit Jennings limitations. The TOP will be heavy Bama.

27-16 Alabama

Anyone who tries to predict the score of this game is fooling themselves.

I do believe the game will be somewhat close


A couple of question as I have not gotten to see as much of Bama this year as I usually do. It seems like Cooper has the lions share of the catches. Who are the other receiver threats or targets? Also who is behind Yeldon and Henry at RB on the depth chart now?

As you stated I believe this will be a close one and a slugfest.

I just don't see why you think you're so young on offense.

The key to the game is really LSU's performance on 1st downs.

The LSU D will do enough to win. IF LSU can have 3rd and shorts all night, LSU will have a chance.

If Jennings throws ints and doesn't convert 3rd downs. Its over.
