I agree with last year showing a huge talent gap.. the thing is, as players get 5% older, they tend to get at least that much stronger, and improve at the sport of football to an even higher degree. LSU was YOUNG last year. With expected average improvement across the board, this should be about as close to BAMA talent wise they've been since 2011.
Should be a great game.

If Bama had lost OJ Howard, Ruben Foster, Tim Williams, Ryan Anderson, Jon Allen, and Eddie Jackson to the draft then the the gap would not be so wide. 4/6 of those guys are 1st team all SEC. Tim Williams is 2nd team and might be drafted ahead of all of them.

Bama lost talent, but was able to retain, 5 all SEC players from the draft as well. There is still a sizable gap.

Bama has some 1st Rd talent that can't even get on the field until the Jr year. While 1st Rd talents are day 1 starters at LSU. That's the difference in talent levels right now.
