Both teams obviously have got plenty to figure out on both sides of the ball.

A win is a win and neither team was playing FAU. (oh, for bama thats next week.)
Much improvement normally happens from week 1 to week 2.

Bama didn't look that bad on offense IMO. Sims was accurate just had a couple of bad throws. They can still run the ball down your throat.
LSU, we couldn't run the ball worth a shite until that second LBer went out with an injury. Jennings lofting every pass he throws. Lots of kinks to iron out.

Neither. Both will still be undefeated when they play each other. Both will win 10 games.

LSU and Bama looked about equal yesterday honestly. Its really too early to tell.

I think, from a coaching standpoint, this is a good thing. Both teams will improve. By the end of the year they will be peaking.
They say teams improve the most from Week 1 to Week 2. Week 1 just get the W.

Bama doesn't really have much to be concerned about.
Well over 500 yards of offense.
We have a kicker now.
Our punter looks great. (Great Scott!)
Our defense didn't do that bad. The secondary did bad, and mostly Sylve. but someone other than Sylve out there and it looks a lot different. And yeah, they dropped a few passes, but so did Bama. We lost the TO battle and had more penalties than they did.
They only scored 16 points on offense. Don't forget they had a KO return for a TD. We gave up KO returns for TDs in the opener in 08 and 09 as well. They only had 1 offensive TD. We played them a lot better in the second half.
Get Eddie Jackson to 100% and replace Sylve, eventually work TB onto the field, and we'll be fine.

LSU What was supposed to be the strength of the team was actually the biggest weakness.Both lines were dominated by an inferior team.

LSU. I get it's the first game, but I'm not sold on Jennings. The offensive line isn't as great as I thought, LSU's front seven is serviceable at best, and we had to deal with the same old penalties and basic confusion known from a Les Miles team.

Both should be equally concerned.
Bama's pass D, and LSU's run D were both terrible.

Trolling for takers.

Lsu by far. Alabama looked pretty good on o, just need to get a bit more efficient in the red zone, with 2 games to tune up. Of the concerning positions, only cb seems to be real concern, but we are without our best option at that position (jackson). I expect by the meat of the sec schedule the starters at cb will be different. There was some confusing between the lbs and the safeties caused by depriests absence, opened up some holes in the zone. The dline was in 3 man for a large part of the game, couldnt get much pressure against 5 (shockingly). Did much better when we switched to 4 man front. Sims was 100x better than everyone was predicting, accounted for over 300yds, accurate in the short and intermediate game, didnt take many shots downfield. Playcalling was quite good I thought, oline was great aside from some drive killing penalties. All in all I think we are in great shape

As far as who should be more concerned, I'm not sure.
Both should be very concerned.
Without going into an in depth analysis, Bama really got helped by some dropped passes and questionable penalties, and LSU did not get rolling until 2 Wisconsin defenders went down

Both teams should have worries.
Bama looks like any team with a forward passing game will light them up and our offense is back in the stone age for the moment. Our run D improved drastically in the 2nd half but I do wonder how much having so many DTs out for the game affected the run defense. We only played 3 DTs all night.

Bama IMHO if they keep playing soft defense. LSU's defense is young but talented and grew up a lot by the end of the game vs Whisky. Their CB's played man-to-man, loaded the box and finally shutdown a potent Badger running game.
