re: To me, the most intriguing West battle is Auburn and LSU.

It should be a game but the biggest game is LSU at Bama. This LSU defense might be close to Bama good this year. It was elite last year. This game has championship aspirations written all over it.

I agree and both defenses will be elite and about even, but LSU's pass rush and blitz packages this season are going to be a hell of a lot better. Furthermore, our new offense is specifically designed to keep defenses off balance, back on their heels, and guessing. In the last two games, Alabama knew LSU offensive plays coming before the ball was snapped. This season you guys won't have that advantage anymore, which equals a much harder to stop LSU offense.

I wouldn't stake my life on it, but this year may be the year. I also sense that you guys this season are not quite up to par with previous seasons. I don't know if that is the case, but that's the feeling I'm getting, but then again, we'll see.
