I have listen to nothing but LSU players and fans say that our schedule has not tested us. Maybe it I should not to there level but man the disrespect is ridiculous,

It bothers you because there is truth to it. Our opponents have largely shite the bed so far this season. Not Alabama’s fault so you shouldn’t let it bother you. Doesn’t mean Alabama isn’t good, maybe even great. But it’s true they haven’t played a tough schedule.

Year in and year out, 'Bama doesn't play anyone. We could play the Giant's practice squad and still hear the same thing. Just because we don't get beaten by Purdue or a Texas team that lost to Merdeland or to a Florida team that lost to Kentucky, doesn't mean jack. After Saturday, when we skull drag Louisiana State University, we STILL won't have played anybody. And don't be surprised in LSU turns around and loses the following week and maybe once more. Saban's Alabama teams take the life out of teams.

Everyone dogs on our schedule but if Bama wasn’t beating the dog crap out of everyone, they’d all have better records, better stats, etc. Just keep winning, that’s all that matters.

Personally, I hope on Sunday morning MS State is talking about how Bama still hasn't played anybody.

We aren’t saying you aren’t good.

But yes, the schedule you have played is weak. No denying that

Our schedule has been pretty light so far.

It doesn't matter, just win all our games, it will take care of itself.

I am tired of hearing it, but what worries me is this team hasn't had to face any type of adversity which worries me. If we get in a close game going into the 4th, there is no telling how we will play. Also, the lack of a solid kicking game worries me a little.

We haven't played anyone, really. Nobody better than 8-4/7-5ish. The laughable part is when someone then goes from that to the fact that it somehow means we really aren't that good.

You can argue there is a bit of an unknown with our offense. That's reasonable. However, you also have to acknowledge that against "bad teams" we've basically doubled everything that every other team has done against them. We aren't merely doing what other teams do to them, we've doing the same amount of damage in roughly 1 half or less. I think anyone with a brain has to admit that the "floor" for our offense is clearly pretty high.

I'm pretty sure we'll probably have season lows in passing and scoring Saturday. However, that means scoring less than 39 and having less than 516 yards of total offense. I'd be shocked if we scored less than 25 and had less than 400 yards of offense, and only the biggest LSU homer on earth could argue otherwise given their performances against the semi-balanced offenses they've played so far.

And our defense has been tested as much as anybody else in the league. They won't see anything the next 3 SEC games that they haven't already seen.

The schedule hasn’t been the toughest this year. But for LSU fans, schedule is like the man hanging from a cliff by a thin root. It’s their one hope and they’re going to hang on until it breaks.

I think a bigger item, not detrimental though, is the total amount of time the starters have played on both sides of the ball.
Maybe 3 quarters/game on average?

And I mean, specifically talking our offense vs their defense.........he ain't wrong.

We've played D2 pass defenses so far and are now about to play a secondary of NFL guys, at least 2 and maybe 3 of them 1st rounders.

So, he ain't wrong.

Nope, it just makes it funnier when we beat them. Then you can say after the game to them, "I'm worried, we still haven't beat anyone good."

The lsu schedule, which those swampy morlocks believed was the toughest schedule in the history of the world and mankind turns out to be just a frickin' garden variety schedule.

They still suckle at that dried up old teet though but no one buys it anymore.

Miami garbage
Auburn garbage
Ole miss garbage
Moo U garbage

We all play the same divisional teams and alabama will do unspeakable things to state and auburn this year.

Those drunken mud ducks play one good team that faints at the sight of it's own blood, gifts them four turnovers they can hardly do jackshit with and now they fancy themselves legit.

4 tuornovers, 36 points with 15 off field goals. That's all they could do against georgia. Georgia coughs the ball up four times against alabama and it turns into a bloodbath. Cough the ball up four times against lsu and they kick five field goals and play into the fourth quarter.

That team's smoke and mirrors. Scratch the surface on that bunch and it's obvious they stumbled into that number 4 ranking.

I bet Saban is using the whole haven't played anyone line as extra motivation. I would't be surprised after the game hearing the Bama players say that people where doubting them because they haven't played anyone.
