I think we wil be harder to run on but there will be a drop off in zone coverage and possibly man. Minter will be better then baker by a good bit. No one on the roster can possibly be worse then hatcher and francious. Our dline will not be friendly and Reid is a beast in run support and coverage.

Stronger against the run but may give up more through the air especially in zone.

Sounds alot like what Bama fans are saying about our D. And we also return at least as much talent and experience on offense. The truth of the matter is that Bama and LSU are going to be VERY evenly matched again this year on both sides of the ball, despite the fact that many on this board and in the national media seem to have the perception that Bama lost all of it's talent and LSU returns much more. That just isn't true. Both lost about the same, and return the same. It will be another war, decided by 1-2 plays.
