Bama hasn't really had a hard game this year. They've just been blowing out weaker opponents. If you all can keep it close you might be able to frick the war machine saban has built enough to make them lose control. Plus what little I saw of Hurts yesterday looked like shite.
In conclusion, yaw yaw yaw Tiga family

No you haven't
LSU fans have been the cockiest and most delusional fan base when it comes to the Alabama game. 2015 was incredible. You could have sworn Alabama didn't deserve to be on the same field as LSU before the game, according to your fans.
Alabama is going to shite can LSU right back into mediocrity in two weeks.

it always amuses me when you bama folks think the crazies on this site are representative of our fan base. You should know better unless you have no life outside of football which may very well be the case.

The odds are still with Alabama of course, but I like LSU's chances going into this game.
First, some obligatory factoids that everybody will immediately complain about for not being relevant anymore: LSU is 11-6 in its last 17 road games against Alabama, and has not lost three in a row on the road to them since '76-'78-'80. Okay, now that we've gotten that out the way...
LSU Is Ready for This Type of Game
LSU is looking exactly like the type of team ready for a David vs. Goliath type of victory. Both lines have improved dramatically since the start of the season, the WRs are getting more on the same page with Etling, and the biggest initial weakness of the team, the LBs, has gotten much much better.
Consider that LSU started Chiasson, Thompson, and Taylor at LB for the season opener at BYU, and then even in the 3rd game at MSU, started Alexander and Vincent (at nickel back). But since that time, Aranda has gone a long way toward fixing the problem, with Donte Jackson as the nickel back, and with Devon White and Arden Key anchoring the LB corp, meaning that there is only one weak LB spot remaining, where Taylor & Thompson still play.
Alabama Is Not Invincible
I haven't had the opportunity to watch Alabama very much this season, so I have limited knowledge here, but yeah, there doesn't seem to be a lot of weakness here. We can look at CSU being able to rush a little bit, or TAMU being able to pass a little bit, and various teams able to constrain Bama's passing game, but how do you stop Bama's running game?
I don't really know the answer to that, and I also think that Saban will have his defense well prepared for Canada's jet sweep wrinkles, which are well known by now. All I can say, I suppose, is that Aranda could come up with a plan to bring up the safeties to stuff the run, like he did against Auburn in the 2nd half, and Canada could come up with a few new schemes to try to move the ball moderately well against the Bama defense. Crazier things have happened.
Don't Press Too Hard
LSU will probably have the best odds of keeping itself in the game if it doesn't try to press too much on offense and try to make things happen where there's nothing there. That mostly means that Etling can't throw any INTs, but despite the constant criticism from Tiger fans for throws he made that could have been intercepted (several on miscommunications between the QB and his WR), almost none of them actually have been so far. He's started 8 games so far, and has thrown 9 TDs to 1 INT, and has 9.4 yards per attempt. Not too bad. I hope I didn't just jinx him though.

Is that what it takes to keep Bama's offense from holding LSU's defensive players? Ingenious!
Gotta tell you, I'd love to see LSU beat Bama. But you don't lose to Troy and beat Bama in the same season. Not a chance. Auburn is the only hope.

Coming from an Alabama fan, that's so the pot calling the kettle black.

Doc... That was a lot of rah rah yaw Yaw...
Did a WR even catch a pass this weekend?
Why because UF missed an extra point giving LSU the win, they're not a very good team anyway.
AU game was a nice come back, but they are. 4 loss team and are not close to Bama's level.
Bama has improved as well from the beginning of the year.
Of course not, but the LsU team doesn't have the type of team nor philosophy that can beat Bama.
Play conservative and LsU gets shut out again. I

Of all the teams Alabama plays, this one upcoming should scare them the most. LSU is such an unknown team with talent.

New Offense Surprise? Do not be ignorant! By now, the Alabama staff has analyzed the LSU offense, plus every other offense that Canada has put on the field with his previous teams. The QC bunch up in the press box, Wienke and the like. They know Canada better than Canada knows himself. Like boxers or briefs, steak or shrimp, time he goes to bed and rises in the morn. Shakes 2 or 3 times after a piss! You just really have no clue!
You are encouraged by losing 10-0 last year. That is only fuel for Saban to use as motivation, THIS year.

You are encouraged by winning 6 straight. That is the fuel LSU will use to burn the Tide.

I do not base the outcome this year on the past 6, other than last year which I mentioned. You addressed nothing in my post .
I am basing my expectations for this years game from the product on the field and the overwhelming difference in quality of coaching staffs, plus the QC staff onboard!
Saban vs O- not even phukkin close
Pruitt vs Aranda- NC Defensive Coordinator vs Aranda(never won Champioship at any place)
Dibol vs Canada- NFL Coach(Bellichec) va Canada, motion, motion, whop ti do he beat Clemson
Alll you got is a bunch of rahhh rahhh whoppeee this is the YEAR
