Yep, that's the bad plays. They haven't played with consistency this year, you won't find a Bama fan that will argue that. At times they maul a defense and blow holes wide open. At times they escort them into the backfield. If I'm being completely honest I'd expect it to play out something like this:
Reps won
Bama O line vs LSU D line
45% to 55%
LSU O line vs Bama D line
40% to 60%
I think we have the bigger advantage in the trenches, as good as the lsu offensive line is. Bama has 3 pretty special players that start up front defensively, and they roll them in wave after wave. There won't be tired legs in the 4th quarter

Yeah, actually watching the games and not relying only on numbers.

List of pretty good players. No doubt, I expect Bama's front 7 to be nasty.

Relying on one receiver does not make your passing game more dynamic.
Again, we have 2 wrs in the top 25 in yards and tds.tenn has 1
Our top 2 wrs have more tds and yards than Tenn's top 2 wrs.
You act like Dobbs and Tenn'Tenn's passing game is better than LSU'S when it's not.
There are statistics that show dobbs as the better qb and more of a threat through the air. If Harris had as many attempts as Dobbs he would have more yards.
Harris has a better qb rating
Better completion %
Better yards per attemp
Better td/iint ratio

I don't worry about the OL holding up all game long. They are pretty deep. Plus they aren't the ones running all over the field like DL have to do pursuing plays. If I'm LSU I worry about getting the defense off the field because they are gassed and very bad in the 4th quarter. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see another 1 minute remaining game winning drive by Bama. Set up by a punt return allowed by LSUs absolutely horrible punt return defense (Ranked last in the country)

You didn't. That's what I was responding to originally.

What were the YPC in those games by the running backs?
Alabama in 2012 had a much more balanced offense than lsu does today. For better or worse, we were pretty committed to a 50/50 game plan. That's not apples to apples

We're not talking about efficiency, dumbass
Efficiency goes into being more of threat through the air.do you know anything about football?
You're not more of a passing threat of you aren't getting more passing yardage on the passes you throw.
you're not more of a passing threat of you're completely a lower % of passes.
you're not more of a threat if your td/int ratio is lower.
It's like I'm talking to a 9 year old.

Maybe try to be better than the poster you're responding to next time. Like I do with you.

It's not horrible but you'd expect better out of an oline that you're using as the measuring stick.

McFadden was the first to do it. Also, Felix Jones only had half as many carries and still had 96 yards.

Top 2 WRs. Just be real and say "only 2 WRs". The rest of the receiving corps has about 100 yards.
Not necessarily a bad thing.

See: Amari Cooper. Dude had 3x the receptions of the #2 receiver and 6x the receptions of the #3 receiver.
Odell Beckham Jr and Jarvis Landry had a similar workload compared to the other WRs at LSU. This group isn't in their league but they are still talented.

That's worse than what Harris did against on of the best secondaries in all of cfb(Florida)
Harris vs florida-13/19 202 2 tds.
