A relatively objective opinion on Alabama vs. LSU

I feel like since I'm not a fan of either team, I can provide a bit more of an objective view on this game.
So, here we go.
1. LSU's offense is in for a surprise as Alabama's defense is as good as ever this year.
2. Alabama's offense is also going to be stifled, but the established passing game will be too much for the LSU defense that was outmatched against Auburn's less than stellar passing game.
3. Fournette will have 100+ yards, but his YPC will not be very high, as he will probably get 20-25 carries.
4. Etling is not a good quarterback, and he will be pressured early and often. Saying that he is the best LSU QB since Matt Flynn (which many LSU posters have said) is not a very good title to hold, as LSU QB's have been abysmal over the past few years.
5. Even if LSU spreads the field and tries to catch Alabama off guard with a few screens and short slants, the Alabama LB's are too good to be beaten this year. Go watch OM vs. Alabama if you don't believe me.
6. LSU's success newfound success has been against teams that are a combined 10-14 this season, so I'm not buying the Ed O hype quite yet.
7. LSU's defensive line will not necessarily be outmatched vs. Alabama's defensive line, but Alabama has too many looks on offense for the LSU D-Line to generate constant pressure.
In a nutshell, LSU is pumped for this game and will be looking to get a signature win this Saturday, but Saban is the best coach of all time with too many weapons on offense and too many playmakers on defense. LSU puts up a good fight, but are outmatched in the second half, despite having home-field advantage.
Alabama wins 27-19

I will be surprised if they score 3 touchdowns.

Fair and balanced.

Between 4 and 5 YPC isn't bad, which is what he would have at 100 yards and 20-25 carries

Who would be surprised by this?

The frick? Auburn's passing offense is better in literally every measurable statistic.

4. Etling is not a good quarterback
Neither is Hurts. That running around he did vs other teams ain't working against this defense

And Alabama's offensive success has been against garbage defenses. I'm not buying the Alabama offensive hype just yet.
quote:
7. LSU's defensive line will not necessarily be outmatched vs. Alabama's defensive line, but Alabama has too many looks on offense for the LSU D-Line to generate constant pressure.
This is just false.
They have literally three looks on offense. They hand it off, run to the edge with the QB, or they throw a swing pass. That's a glorified triple option, and it is not impressive or unstoppable.

"Objectivity" :lol:
Nice analysis, sweetheart. Bounce.

Seriously, 234 passing yards, no touchdowns and only 18 points was due to the LSU defense being outmatched?

Do people think he is better than Mettenberger? Interesting.

38-21 is still asshurting you?

7. LSU's defensive line will not necessarily be outmatched vs. Alabama's defensive line, but Alabama has too many looks on offense for the LSU D-Line to generate constant pressure.
Bold strategy playing their d-line on offense, let's see if it works.

Wow that's a lot of thought and work to come to such bad conclusions and assessments. 1 out of 7 talking points were valid the rest seems like you dreamt it up.

Yeah I see one problem with your analysis bud. Ole miss can't run the ball like lsu can and definitely doesn't have the overall talent lsu posesses. It's not an even comparison. Lsu is the best team bama will play all yer defensively and poses a threat to run the ball with fournette, the best player in college ball, and break it long at any moment. Our defense is the best the bams offense will play all year as well. Combine this with playing when and where the game is going to be played and bama will have their hands full all night long. Lsu has a good chance to win this game and bama knows it. Will be a dogfight like always in death valley, geaux tigers.

This game will be closer than most think.
