re: I suspect the LSU@Alabama game atmosphere will be eerily similar to our game vs. ND

Lights and noise aren't even going to phase LSU. LSU needs to tackle and execute, and not turn the ball over and if they do this, Joe should be able to match Tua score for score. This year it goes deep into the 4th because it is a game of what I suspect are the best two teams this year. Clemson isn't the same, maybe UGA if they can get going sooner. I am sure UGA fans would be the first to admit that playing well a half is not good enough to win against a playoff caliber team. Some teams like Clemson last year get better as the season goes along. Auburn might very well be one of those. Anyway my point is right now nobody I have seen is playing better than LSU and Bama.
