You got me man. Say what you want. I gotta strong spine. Bama played great last night and the game was not as close as the score. I have always said Saban is the best coach in the country and it sure showed last night. If they can play like last night the rest of the way they will win it all.

I don't know Coker has to play well, he just can't play poorly.

Bama played great last night, but come on. Miles seems to enjoy watching his players run up the gut into a wall. Make those guys run east west and you can get by the. LF only good gain was bouncing it out

I love the fact you guys think this is the same defense as last year.

LF7 tried to bounce a number of carries outside, but the contain was always solid and the tacklers were wrapping up...I almost felt sorry for the guy toward the end.

I watched enough of both games last night and if bama plays like that, they would beat osu rather easy. Hell I still think lsu would beat osu no matter where they played.

Just... stop picking games. LSU fans think you're a legit jinx and there might be a lynch mob forming after last night.

LF tried to bounce out and was consistently met by Dillon Lee and Eddie Jackson

The DL is the same. A year better but the same guys who were really good last year.
Bama is really good. I know that. However, in the playoffs there will likely be at least 2 teams who will spread it out and make you defend the perimeter. LSU doesn't do that for whatever reason
I guess what I meant to say as opposed to LF bouncing it out is LSU didn't design runs to the perimeter. Pull a guard or something to get that guy containing to get a gain. It's a numbers game and Miles refused to change
Bama may be the best team in the country, but we don't know that today.
And Peej, you said LSU would beat Bama by 20, so why would I worry if you think OSU can't beat them

Just because you can't hang with them and you live in fear of all things Alabama doesn't mean they can't be beaten. Maybe you should stop being pussies, stop playing right into their hands, and stop conceding your conference to them every year.

Your hate for Bama is sad.

Yes, I know. They lost earlier this year. Obviously they can lose games.

Right, because I think Bama's 5 straight number one recruiting classes lead them to have the best team in the nation when the play well, it has a huge effect on how each team's players come out and play. That's absurd. If I played for UGA I would never say something like that, but as a football fan I have no problem saying it.

2013 against State was the only time Bama has won with more than a -2 margin(-3) under Saban.

The issue with this, if there is one, is it doesn't take any sort of returning starters into the equation. all else being equal, a 3rd year starter is better than a first year starter based on game reps.
For example, the nickel Bama has is a 5* from new jersey and a hell of a player. Wouldn't you rather have a 5* junior who is just as skilled but also been in situations before and knows how to react better?

I don't hate Alabama at all.

Not entirely true. Daron Payne is a true freshman that has become a key figure at NG. Regardless, it's more than a year more of experience that's led to improvement.
It's improved LB play and a secondary that can finally allow Alabama to play more comfortable coverages. The position changes and development of young, elite talent may be the single biggest aspect of Alabama playing defense like it was from 2008-2012.
