What are the reasons yall think Mac can get it done?

Mac (or whomever for Bama) will likely have a clean pocket and time to operate, while I expect Burrow to be under duress much of the afternoon. I think our pass rush and LSU's lack thereof is the story of the game. I also think Bama has the better Oline and can push LSU's front around some, not dominating per se, but enough to stay balanced run-pass. And this run game will help Mac (or whomever) tremendously.

Honestly, I think Bama is a horrible match-up for LSU. LSU will move the ball some, but they'll struggle versus our D when the field shrinks in the red zone. I believe we win and cover.

However, if I'm LSU, I target Bama's ILBs in the pass game as much as possible, and take copious deep shots, if only for the pass interference calls. I also try to run the football, both downhill and to the edges - basically continuing to attack Bama's ILB Corp. Don't turn it over, play tough, and try to get some breaks.

Personally, I think we turn them over, with Burrow throwing multiple picks.
