re: Why is LSU so confident?

I definitely believe LSU can win, but not guaranteeing victory or anything.

Since Auburn loss, several things have happened:

1. We changed our defensive personnel in the middle of our defense. Kendell Beckwith became our MLB and he's in another atmosphere in terms of talent compared to who he replaced. Knowledge of the play book was the reason he didn't start at the beginning of the year

2. The offensive line has settled, got fully healthy, and is playing close to its full potential

3. Defensive play calling and aggressiveness has done a 180. We are getting tons of pressure and disguising our looks much better.

4. I think Alabama's CBs can be beat. Jennings is not a world beater at QB but he can throw the long ball when he has time. I think Tony Brown is a bit too aggressive at times and I'd go after him if I were Les/Cam. He'll be a good one, but he's still a True Freshman. If the game is close and pressure filled, I predict he'll struggle.

Just my opinion
