Actually, LSU presents a great game plan for beating Auburn. Sure, they had a ton of rushing yards, but only 24 points to show for it. I think Bama's offense can score more than 24 on Auburn's defense. The key is to keep everything in front of you, give up the field goals when you need to, make some stops on third down and win the field position battle.
LSU fans really ripped the defense after that game, but I thought it was a solid game plan. We had a chance to tie or win with just three minutes left in the game. That's really all you can ask for against a quality SEC opponent playing at home. Who cares how many yards you give up? Points matter. Yards don't.

special teams is the only reason the score was that close. It forced auburn to drive 95 yards on many occasions.
Do you realize LSU gave up the most rushing yards in the history of LSU football (over 100 yrs)? Malleveto had many problems and even that double head monster never faired so poorly on run defense.

This. Auburn was the better team that day, but we had the ball with the score tied at 17 in the middle of the 4th quarter and couldn't get it done.
16 passes from Newton for 86 yards definitely isn't picking the team apart. They ran wild, but only scored 3 touchdowns, 2 of which were on huge runs. Any time a team gets 440 yards rushing, they should win by 3 scores.
If sCam had turned the ball over just once, that game would have been completely different. But, he's a machine and both of our lines were beaten up all game.

I agree. And Bama does not have the pass rush LSU does.
IMO, Bama will blitz Cam. It will work at times, but when it doesn't Cam will break some long runs with only DBs to try and stop him.
AU will put up 30+ on Bama, maybe 40. The question is how well bama's offense and the ginger do.
