LSU has played Bama very tough at home in the Saban era. They beat Saban in 2010, took Bama to OT in 2008 and 2014 and blew a lead in the minute in 2012. They actually should have won all four games. I'll be shocked if the game next season turns out to be a blowout in Bama's flavor.

I do worry a little bit about the fans when it comes to Bama. There was a "here we go again" feeling that fell over the crowd towards the end of the 2014 game, which will only be exacerbated in 2016. And I do think there's such a thing as wanting it too much to the point of pressing, which everyone associated with LSU has been guilty of when it comes to Bama over the last few years. I could easily see that same feeling creeping into the stands as soon as Bama gets a real or perceived "break".

But all the LSU fans keep telling the Ole Miss fans last season and past seasons have no relevance to this season.
