Meh. Not really.

Success Rate
LSU: 20
Bama: 1

IsoPPP
LSU: 5
Bama: 108

Rush SP
LSU: 21
Bama: 16

Pass SP
LSU: 3
Bama: 4

Standard Downs
LSU: 16
Bama: 11

Passing Downs
LSU: 3
Bama: 9

One advantage each and 4 pushes. If one deduces that LSU’a defense is “elite” then Bama’s is as well.

FEI stats are a diff story. Only one push out of 16 matchups. Bama has an advantage in all of the remaining 15.

Not really. I'll concede that LSU's defense has better metrics than Alabama's practice squad. But LSU has never had the luxury of getting that deep into their defense at any point this season. In fact Alabama's defense is superior to LSU everywhere except the defensive backfield.
