Who is gonna beat Bama? I'm waiting, we return far too much and have an easy schedule. No one is touching us this year, try again in 2014.


Texas A&M did last year. Why not again?

Virginia Tech could play yall just tough enough to wear your players down a good bit (much like LSU did last season) for A&M to take advantage of the opportunity. I also see no reason why LSU couldn't beat Alabama.

Improved secondary.

Bye week before the game.

JFF MIGHT be in a Sophomore slump at the time the game is played.

Our defense returns almost everyone in the front seven, so they will actually be a lot better at containing him, though it's impossible to completely contain him.

We have a bye week after VT and before A&M, and V-Tech isn't LSU.

We return the second best QB in the country and he may be throwing to the best WR corp in the country, or at least the SEC. You a lot up front on the DL and your best LB by far, so no reason to think that that doesn't cancel out us losing 3/5 on the OL which means Yeldon could again go for, what, 6 and a half a pop?

Mett showed up last season and I give him credit for that, but our pass rush is looking insane for next season, should be interesting to see how LSU's OL holds up in pass pro. Hill is alright, but he's getting over hyped just like every other back you guys have had recently. You all said the same shite about Ware, Hilliard, and Blue. None of them were what you thought they were, but Blue got hurt so he still has a chance IF you guys use him right and make Hill/Blue a one two bunch like Lacy/Yeldon were. Still, Hill averaged what, 3.6ish YPC against us last year? I don't know if he can improve on that number, but with Blue taking carries off of him it should help.

It'll be a good game, but right now I think everyone outside of Baton Rogue thinks Bama will take it, we need to see each team a bit before we can make an accurate prediction, but on paper right now Bama wins by around 10.
