We have the best defense Bama will face. If we bottle up the run, including Hurts scrambling, I don't think bama can beat us in the air.

Biggest question is can LSU stop Alabama with their base front and leave their safeties back to read pass and more specifically to play the option/counter run game. If their front guys can hold their own then Alabama will have trouble. If they have to bring up LBs and Safeties on blitzes to stop the run then Alabama is going to bust some big ones.

Same thing on the other side, as usual.

Auburn may have something to say about that

We'll see. Bottling up a triple option, and make no mistake, we are running a spread triple option with predetermined reads, requires discipline and committing guys to the box. The guy running routes on Jackson or Tolliver is a better football player than the kid covering him, be it Ridley or Stewart. Howard on Beckwith or Riley is a mismatch. Hurts might not be able to beat LSU through the air, but he's going to have open receivers
