re: What about Bama's O v LSU's D?

LSU is giving up 2.9 yards per carry on the ground, second best in the nation behind Alabama's ridiculous 2.18 YPC. We're even slightly better than Michigan in YPC against. Why do you say that is where we are weakest?

Matchups. I believe the Bama guards and center are a little better than D. Riley, E. Alexander, and D. Godchaux. Beckwith is the exception. I am not sure if you notice Riley, but he does not match up well with those big lineman, and if the RB can get to that level it can be a long night. Riley had the best game of his life last week, but that is due to him playing in coverage on 80% of the plays.

Bottom line is this: If the middle can stay healthy, and limit Bama to some short runs we can win this game.
