re: Can LSU beat Bama?

No. You're stupid.

Is he wrong? I'm really asking, let me go through.

QB - AJ > Mett (but but but Mett has moar yards and two more TDs!!!!!!)

RB - Push. Hill has better numbers than Yeldon, but considering how TJ's OL was playing the first three and a half games, yeah. Drake is coming on strong, LSU has some solid guys behind Hill.

WR - LSU, Landry/Beckham can be players in the league. Coop is on their level, maybe better when he's 100%, but he's not 100% so it doesn't matter. White is talented, but not near Landry or Beckham. I'll say after that Bama takes a bit of an advantage with C. Jones and Norwood, but LSU's other WRs haven't played much.

TE - Bama.

LT - Slight edge to CyKo over La'El, Cyrus had a shaky start, but he's back to form now and playing as good as anyone.

LG - LSU

C - Push

RG - Bama, Steen is again one of the most consistently good OL in the nation

RT - LSU

The defenses are tough to compare because of different schemes.

DL - LSU is getting more sacks from their DL, but Bama's run D is better. I'll give advantage LSU.

LB - Bama. Mosley is the best LB in CFB, Hubbard is good at everything except getting sacks apparently. Devall has quietly gotten three sacks and shown big improvements in the run game. Dickson is beating Tackles often to get some pressure. DePriest has been disappointing. LSU has some guys playing very well, but it feels like they miss a few more tackles.

CB - Tough one. I don't wanna call Belue great or anything, but he's been very good this year. Probably the best of either team right now, but Bama has a huge hole at the other CB spot. I'll say push, but I could be swayed in LSU's favor easier than in Bama's favor.

S - Bama. Not close.

K - LSU

P - Bama. Mandell is one of the best in the country.


So Bama wins 7 positions.

LSU wins 5.

Push at 3.


Tough game. Bama wins 31-21 with a late fourth quarter score to seal it. Mett throws pick on following possession and Bama runs clock.
