What about Bama's O v LSU's D?

I keep hearing how we won't be able to do this, that and the other thing against the greatest defense that ever suited up to play the game of football, but what about the other side of the coin? What will Bama's vaunted offense be able to do against our good, but just weaker and not as impressive defense?

Bama's scoring offense is way up there at 46 per game. However, when you back out 9 defensive TDs (ridiculous) and 3 punt return touchdowns, they are averaging 33 points per game. Good, but not exactly earth shattering. If Bama can't score on defense or special teams, can they score at all against LSU?

Only two defenses that Bama has played against are ranked higher than 69th in total defense, and one is Kent State. The other is USC at 45. Five are ranked 80 or lower in defense. So Bama is averaging 33 offensive points against some pretty bad defenses.

My guess is Bama's offense will be similar to how LSU's offense looked against two elite defenses, Wisconsin and Auburn. LSU's will too. So the game will be something like 17-14. Which, by the way, is pretty much how the last two games in Tiger Stadium have played out.

I wouldn't be surprised to see this thing go to OT yet again. LSU and Alabama have gone to overtime four times in the last 11 games, splitting them 2-2, interestingly, with the road team winning every single time.
