I wanna hear that shitty country song now. Oooopperator....

The difference in this game was just like NC; LSU's inefficient passing game.

If LSU and Mett make some plays down field and create some long drives, LSU has a good shot at winning....Now if that happens????????????

It'll be close either way because it's at Baton Rouge.

Thoughts on where the game will be won?

Honestly special teams. I thought we had more than a significant advantage last year, and that played a huge role in the outcome in T-Town. This year, I don't see the advantage being as huge. Our offense isn't really a dropoff from what ya'll saw twice last year, just different. There is a little more "potential" in the passing offense, depending on which team shows up. I remain unconvinced ya'll are a better team without TR. However, the rest of your offense seems to be clicking (after somewhat slow starts, mimicing what we did the back half of last year), and the improvements in your passing game seem to have mitigated whatever spark Richardson was giving you.

I think we retain a ST edge, though not huge - ya'll are are more complete team on offense, the defenses are equivalent again, we're at home and have a bye week. Will our slight advantages in those other areas make up for a superior Alabama offense, which is the real, fundamental advantage ya'll have? If either team gets the penalty, injury or turnover bug, that is probably fatal for either. If Bama gets up early, that will negate the crowd. Otherwise, I will not be shocked to see a 12-10 score in the 4th QTR or even a 13-13 in OT. These games have been like this and I see no reason to expect they will change.

Have terrible luck against MSU!
