The only way they can put pressure on our QB is if they blitz.

Our QB can read and react quick enough to beat blitzes.

That's no even discussing 7SU run defense isn't has stout as in previous years and we have a big run threat.

As long as Saban doesn't force Locksley to go ultra conservative, we should roll them and badly.

Can't. Wait.

My only real fear is LSU being pumped early in the game forcing us to punt and we give them short fields which enables them to score a little bit keeping the fans and players into it longer than would be otherwise

If I’m a betting man we either A. Probe what will work early or B. Do the high percentage stuff early and crush their soul. I hope it’s B. We have a two minute soul crush playbook, we need Death Valley out of it quick. Every time we leave them slightly in it, the comeback.

If anybody thinks Bama hasn't been tested, you should look up the passing offenses this "scary" LSU backfield has faced.

I'll give them ole miss, at #4, but it's ole miss and they're terrible. They are no threat to run, so a decent team will shut down that passing game. They gave up more passing yards to them than our "not so good" defense did, and I'm assuming they didn't let them throw a 75 yard bomb to start the game.

The next best passing team they've played is #51, La Tech. La freaking Tech. And it gets worse from there.

What I'm saying is, this defense isn't as good as they think. I'm not saying they're NOT good, but Bama is going to make plays on them.

Ed will hit panic button if they are done by 3 touchdowns.

I was really hoping this Alabama offense could give LSU the worst beating that they've ever had at Tiger Stadium.

A little research revealed that in 1977, LSU lost to Rice 77-0 in Baton Rouge. Ouch. Not sure if Alabama can beat that.


Man...I really can't wait for this game. If Alabama wins a close one, then I'm 100% positive that LSU fans will be talking about bad officiating and how they would have won if Devin White had played the first half. But if Alabama can beat them by 3 touchdowns or more...oooooh I can't wait to see what these people have to say after that.

The field position battle is going to play a big part in this game. I hope Mike Bernier has been working on his punting.

The only way this occurs is if Saban forces Locksley to be too conservative.

I cant even believe what I'm reading.

People keep talking about 7SU defense stopping our attack and none of them have mentioned what their offense can accomplish against our defense?

We will force them to give us the ball in great position. It will be up to them to be perfect all night because if they aren't we score.

It says a lot that when you ask how LSU will sustain success against Alabama's defense, the only responses you get involve a secret playbook or "Joe's a gamer".

This and potential points off of turnovers.

77-0 and they'll still cry, "muh Devin!". It'll be, "Those first 4 drives Alabama scored in the first 12 minutes don't happen if muh Devin was playing. Without that momentum, the awesome Tiger Stadium atmosphere completely overwhelms Tua and it's a different game."

Doesn't matter what the score is, they have a bushel load of excuses on standby.

Like I said earlier, they are dead last in the SEC in yards per play.

Can't run with any consistency, can't throw, don't convert 3rd downs, etc.

The only thing they've done really well at is turnover margin. But unless we turn it over 3+ times and they don't at all, that shouldn't matter.

Didn't score as much as I thought. Tua didn't play his best. Some of you sure were worried.
