I will say they almost beat Bama last yr with a Purdue transfer at QB and a tight ends coach running the offense. And that was supposedly the best Bama team ever. I wouldn't say LSU is tooo far off lol

The games in Death Valley have been nail biters. The last 2 games in BDS have been a different story. Bama beat LSU by 21 in 2013 and 14 in 2015, and the latter was not as close as the score indicated.

To claim you almost beat an opponent your team should at minimum score, shouldn't they? I mean put a couple of points on the scoreboard to show you tried.

Last year was the perfect storm for LSU to beat Bama.

A great defense to shut down a average Bama offense.

Two great RB including one that was a all world RB and great WR.

In death valley at night.

No Les Miles.

Bama even turned the ball over on their first position and gave LSU great field position.

Yet, LSU couldn't score a single point.

If LSU couldn't beat them last year, they don't have much chance this year. You have to get a QB to beat Bama.

They had a complete game except for one small area: scoring.

Death Valley magic is still real when it wants to be

Last year was actually Bama's largest margin of victory @LSU in recent memory, was tied going going into the 4th and felt close though.

Better LSU teams have faired worse @Bama recently.

08 @LSU: OT Bama W
09 @Bama: Bama by 2 scores but close game
10 @LSU: LSU win
11 @Bama: LSU win
12 @LSU: Last minute come from behind Bama W
13 @Bama: 21 pt bama win
14 @LSU: OT bama win
15 @Bama: Bama by 14, didn't feel close
16 @LSU: 2 score bama win, felt close

08 and 14 LSU teams were not good, both bama teams were very good. Those LSU teams had no business taking them to OT if on a nuetral field. 13 and 15 were better LSU teams, and didn't play the same @Bama

If we win @Bama the players and coaches will have really earned it. I'm rooting for them

LSU never got past the Alabama 30 yard line. They had 125 yards of total offense (Bama had 323). Interesting definition of almost beat
