re: Does Bama win the National Championship again?

Against LSU it was usually johnson starting and usually playing more than mosely.

And what...does that matter? We also played 11 other teams in the regular season.

With Freak and Ego, LSU will start the best DT combo in the SEC (country).

Really though? Ego had 1 TFL and no QB hurries last year. I know he has the talent though.

Loston is right up there with haha.

I'd certainly put him top 5 in the country. Maybe top three. HaHa > Ed Reynolds > Craig Loston, in my opinion.

LSU had seven freshmen (6 Tr) in the rotation in the back seven. See much improvement there?

I'm sure there will be, but I'm starting to get confused. Is this thread not about Alabama's chances to win the BCS? It feels like you're trying to prove LSU should be in Bama's league, but I don't think anyone denies that LSU should finish with at least ten wins and will give Bama a fight. The people who do are probably not serious.

Tiger "D" will be better in '13 than they were in '12, especially in the back seven.

Most definitely, I agree.

Top five Dlinemen are all top end SEC quality.

Per the usual.

Why didn't those #3 and #4 CBs play defense against LSU last game?

Geno Smith was a true Freshman and Saban has some infatuation with Vinnie Sunseri. Similar to the one Miles had with JJ. Fulton was a backup on the outside, so why would he play? The only reason for that would be Dee sliding to Star, which we had done before, but not all that often. Once Vinnie got done in by Zach Mettenberger of all QBs, we switched it up and Saban trusted John Fulton enough to play him outside and move a top ten draft pick to the slot against a top five ten team. John got hurt during the game (had a rather good game mind you, if there is one thing I like about him it's how physical he is. Plays press a lot like Dee did) so we moved Geno to Star and he had a good time there in some big games. So to answer your question, Smith was young, and John was behind two guys on the outside.

THAT said, why do you keep caring about what they did against the 2012 LSU team? What that team did has nothing to do with what the 2013 LSU team should do.

I think LSU may have some success running on us. I'm still not sold on Brandon Ivory to force two blockers on him, but LSU will have a new Center so it'll be interesting. Stinson has added some weight, and so has Pagan.

That said, I'll do what you did. What did Ego do against Alabama?
