Do yourself a favor and don't compare this defense to Tennessee's. You look silly.

Did I actually do that? Or did I just make a comment about Bama running more inside the tackles against UT than any other game? Because if it's the latter, you're the one who looks silly

Answer me this: Why does Alabama lose to a less talented team every year?

You're using Tenn as evidence to support the idea that they could just decide to run up the middle and have success.
Which is a laughably poor chain of logic.

The REAL fail will be by the LSU oline and by extension Danny Etling. I pity Etling if LSU continually finds itself in obvious passing situations. The mauling he will take will not be for the faint of heart. At least Hurts is mobile enough to avoid being crushed. Etling might well leave in an ambulance.

Sometimes you just get outplayed by good teams. Sometimes matchups are an issue. Sometimes key injuries are an issue. Sometimes lack of experience is an issue. Sometimes the ball bounces funny. Sometimes a group of teenagers/young men don't stay motivated/focused for 4 straight years of games. It's college football. College football still has a lot of parity although I can see why you might think otherwise with Alabama winning 4 out of last 7 NCs.
Alabama hasn't lost to a bad or even mediocre team in 9 years. End of year ranking for Alabama losses from 2008 to present:
2008 - Lost to #1 and #2
*2009 - Didn't lose
2010 - Lost to #1, #8 and #22
*2011 - Lost to #2
*2012 - Lost to #5
2013 - Lost to #2 and #6
2014 - Lost to #1 and #17
*2015 - Lost to #10
2016 - Haven't lost yet
*Won NC
That's it. 12 losses in 8+ years all to ranked teams, mostly in the top 5. That's about as good as it is ever going to get in college football today.

Is the UT game evidence that Bama will have success running inside against LSU? No, and I never said as much. It does however show that Bama added a new wrinkle that UT had not seen on tape before that gives LSU one more thing to prepare for and might come in handy in this weekend's game. I guess we'll know around midnight Saturday

It's cute that L5U fans think anyone is scared of playing in Tiger Stadium despite all evidence to the contrary.

Everybody gets rattled at some point. It just hasn't happened yet.
I'm not making any predictions but, eventually, it will happen. He is after all, a Freshman.
I mean he fumbled the very first time he touched the ball under the bright lights of Cowboy Stadium, he handled himself very well in his first away game vs an OM team that we had lost to in back to back years, he was ok vs the Hogs with their rowdy fans, and he do alright in Neyland in front of the largest crowd he's faced in the conference.
I think he will be ok in Tiger Stadium. I can't remember the last time a Bama QB was seriously rattled to the point of not executing vs LSU.

I don't know why Alabama fans struggle with this so much. It happens. It may even happen this weekend. Chances are it'll happen sometime soon.

Aranda isn't going to blitz Hurts much. He is going to use stunts and alignments that force Bama's oline to make calls that get LSU pass rushers in 1v1 situations. The whole point of Aranda's D is to get pressure with 4 because you don't know what 4 are coming.

Bama switched from reading the DE to reading the DT in the zone read option plays.
So Bama ran midline. Jacksonville State ran midline with some success early in the game against us. I'm sure Kiffin will dial it up a few times to see how we play it.

Ok so by your logic we will lose because we are due to lose? Makes sense I guess in a magical kind of way. We could totally lose this game but I'm frankly tired of hearing everyone we plays sucks.

Sure, Alabama is as a dominant as you can get in college football today. But even that means you lose on occasion. Plenty of other good teams out there and it's very difficult to win every game. LSU, Auburn and the CFP (if applicable) will all present teams that can beat Alabama.

It's actually not arbitrary at all. Arbitrary means based on random choice rather than reason. It's not arbitrary to start with the first year of Alabama's current run of NCs when talking about Alabama's current run of NCs. It's actually a very reasoned and common frame of reference when discussing those types of streaks/eras.

Reminds me of the idiots you see standing around a particular slot machine, waiting for the person playing it to leave, because "it's due to hit." Same mentality as the person who says that a bad blackjack player causes other players at the table to lose because they, "took the dealer's bust card."

I'm not using any logic, I'm just stating facts: Alabama loses to less talented teams every year. They haven't yet this year.
Interpret them as you may.

But L5U fans say they are every bit as talented as Bama. Which is it?

That is actually completely wrong, what would have made it right is something like " Bama usually drops one to a lower ranked team"

You weren't facilitating discussion when you made that comparison. If it wasn't a comparison, then it wasn't worth bringing up in this context.
Also, I just watched the highlights from the Tenn game. Literally every singe effective run Hurts had in that game was to the outside.
He never went inside the tackles on a read option play.
So not only did you make a poor comparison/bring up irrelevant information, but you also brought up FALSE irrelevant information.
