Even if they are the very best defense in America, y'all's secondary specifically isn't better than UF's. It very well might be as good as theirs, but it isn't better. Especially if y'all are keeping one of your safeties in the box to stop LF.
Against the best coach in America, the best players in America, and the best defense in America - as long as there's no rash of turnovers I don't think LSU will be able to muster more than 17 points in this one. I don't think that will win it for the Tigers.

I expect Henry to outrush LF7 not because he's a better back but because Alabama has a better defense.

Statistically they are very close, especially when comparing the rush defense. Therefore when you look at how much better the LSU rushing attack is, I just don't see how you can jump to that conclusion.

I think Miles has proved that when the teams are on more or less equal talent level (which we will be especially with Mills returning full time) he can edge one out in Tuscaloosa.

You can't guarantee that though, can you?

Well that's just like, your opinion man.
All joking aside I think you're wrong though. LSU can score plenty, and I think you're overselling the improvement from last year's Bama D to this year's. It was still pretty great last year, and yes it is even better this year, but Ole Miss and A&M have both scored more on y'all this year than last year. Meanwhile our O actually has made serious improvement. Not to mention we can actually kick field goals when we need to.
All I'm saying is it's a pretty evenly matched game. My probably more homer than I'd like to admit pick is 23-17 LSU. We'll know a lot more after y'all play the Vols.

Same ole narrative the past 4 years. Always the refs excuse, even though A) the penalty was right, B) Yeldon gave you possession inside the red zone, and C) LSU had a chance to stop Alabama and Blake Sims on the final drive and couldn't. On top of this, both teams given equal opportunities to score in OT and LSU couldn't, despite being at home. Thus refs excuse is bull shite, as it always is, but nonetheless, LSU fans would still crucify the officials even if they threw a flag on a blatant personal foul call on them.

Not so sure about that considering Ethan Pocic is a better player than anyone on Alabama's defensive line.


lolwut. There are 2 top 10 picks at DT and the top ILB in the nation standing 5 yards behind them.

Don't make me post the foster LF gif either

Reed will own your ginger center. Robinson will draw a double team. And Allen and Tim Williams will embarrass Alexander. Ragland will make fournette suck his cock forcibly.

I am not sold on Alabama's D. I think they are getting better, but haven't really shown me they have the ability to stop Fournette.

Also, LSU was a bonehead play or two from winning last year's game, so let's not get too excited about that win.

Alabama was a few plays from winning in 2007, 2010, and 2011, yet you guys celebrated like you had just won the powerball. Seems like you guys can dish, but are bitches when shite blows up in your face.

How has the fact that we have one of their coaches from last year on our D now been completely forgotten? It's like people just completely forgot that fact or something. Personally I think that played into the hire.

Our Offense ultimately is better than their defense, but our Defense is probably going to be way better than their offense for a number of reasons.
