re: Bama Football Tidings

I looked today and Law only has 5 catches this season.

Our offense also hasn't played a defense as bad as LSU's since the MTSU game.

our oline is marginally better than back then. We could hang 56 on their trash defense

If Law is getting carries then we are definitely trying to get to the edge and work against those backup corners.

Would really love to get a Jam and Justice on the field but doing 11 personnel but going 12 formation with Jase as a lead blocker on sweep/stretches by Law could be an interesting wrinkle.

Could just be an out of context pic of a jet sweep ( which would be nice, actually).

Bama should score on those guys but the Bama defense has to be ready to play for 4 quarters. No mental lapses, no busted coverages and for God's sake, DO NOT lose contain on Daniels.

Hard reality is LSU is going to score a significant number of points. Their offense has been off the charts effective post FSU. To put it in context, even if we make the playoffs this will easily be the best offense we play all season.

Because of that, there will be more pressure on our offense to keep up than we've seen since Texas week 2.

The good news is their defense is the worst we've played in conference all season by a significant margin. With even a mediocre defense LSU is probably a playoff team this year, but they aren't mediocre, they're really bad.

That said I do believe they've improved significantly since they moved Perkins back outside and let him just be an edge guy from a 4 man front.

All of that to say I think Bama will need close to 35-40 points this week to win IMO.

AL.com chose such a nice picture of Saban for this
