The Reason LSU fans are Confident

And they are going to hate me for it, but it's true:

Since 2009, Alabama has had a superior team on paper, than LSU. They have had better QBs, better RBs, legendary O-lines, and public perception says a better head coach. On defense, it's been even. And we historically bring the better kicker.

What kept us in any of those games, whether we won, or it was a close loss, was a Les Miles reverse on 4th down, a pooch kick, a fake punt. Les saw what he had, and squeezed every ounce of talent out of those teams to keep us competitive. The NC game was us not recognizing that they were still better, going in a little cocky, and not conceding they had a better team, and we had to work just as hard as we did in November.

Now back to why we are so confident: We bring the better team to the contest for the first time in 6 years. It's debatable, but true. Fournette is better than Henry. Our RB's are deeper and better than Bama's. Our QB is better than Bama's. Ditto for our O-line. The same for our receivers. Give Bama the edge at TE. We have faith in our kicker. Bama has no faith in theirs. We love Cam Cameron. Bama nation hates Lane Kiffin.

Defensively, give Bama the edge, but they are not the world-beaters we have managed points against in the past.

Maybe our faith is misplaced, but their are definite reasons on paper for it.
