re: Why do people think Alabama is going to beat LSU?

if it is alright with you, we will just show up this weekend and next weekend also anyway.good luck!

What about the LSU trend of losing 2/3 to ranked opponents though?

That settles it. Thanks

Not even going to make a prediciton on the outcome, at best it's a coin flip. The LOS match up, TO's and ST's will be what wins the game. Win 2 out of 3, and you should be the victor.

Things I DO like are these fact:

ALA played A&M in a easy blow out win with a few injuries (CR being the biggest) the last game they played. I'm thinking giving them a false sense of security and over confidence...JMO.

LSU played an extremely hard fought very physical grinder game against a formidable opponent, and had a come back win without significant injury...Thinking that it gives them an understanding they can win as the dog, can feed off the loud home crowd and will out a victory. Again, JMO.

Here is to a great injury free Saturday Night in Death Valley, should be a great game.

not sure about this but, i do think bama has more riding on this game and thus more pressure. i think as the game goes on and mistakes are made on both sides, this is going to weigh on the tide more than lsu. plus, lsu knows they can come back if behind in the 4th. in addition to senior night, it just seems like the intangibles are favoring lsu. i have no idea if that equals a win though. the offense was sloppy against ole miss.

Is this LSU's last home game? Or is that Thanksgiving against A&M?

Keys for LSU 1. Stop Cooper (at least contain him) 2. Win turnover battle 3. Rattle Simms 4. Jennings has to have his best game to date Key for Bama 1. Keep LSU rushing attack below 150 yards.

this seems absolutely on the money. on paper at least, this is exactly what must happen.

provided special teams are a wash:
lsu has to limit the tide yardage between the tackles. with kiffin spreading the o a little more than usual, this will be interesting for the tide.

jennings has to make some throws to keep the chains moving. the potential is there but, it hasn't happened consistently. inconsistent probably won't cut it against the tide.

one of the 2 teams will be better in the red zone and that will probably make the difference. turnovers will obviously contribute to this

I think it will be a good game that could go either way. If you pay attention on here, it's really the LSU posters that are the ones that seem so over confident.

Actually it's known as "whistling past the graveyard"

Because it's Alabama, they never lose only they don't execute/beat themselves/unmotivated.
