Wrong. That was 2011.

Your right, it would look pretty bad if LSU beats Bama. Of course AU beat an aTm team that gave Bama all they wanted and that AU team lost to LSU, and OM almost beat aTm....... It's the sec dude, every week is different. Didn't LSU beat aTm last year? Who beat Bama last year? I wouldn't take anything for granted in this league

Probably. However their point differential was actually better through their first eight games in 2012 than this year. Then they got badly outplayed by LSU, lost to Texas A&M at home and struggled to beat Georgia in the SEC Championship Game. They struggled against good teams last year. If this team is truly better than last year's team, they will beat LSU, Auburn and the SEC East champion in convincing fashion. That's how I'll know they are better.

True, but in her defense, when they gave it to her. they told her she finally got her driver's license.

Blindly.
Really, no one even chuckled at this? I laughed at my own joke for a good 5 minutes.

1 offensive td against va tech. That's not scoring at will. Same va tech that lost to duke.

What kind of point are you trying to make here? That are offense stinks? It was the first game starting for 3 of our offensive linemen. I'm pretty sure the O has improved since then

2 offensive TDs first off. Secondly, that was literally the first game of the season. Bama gave up more TFL's and sacks it that one game than they have the other 7 combined. The O-line had serious issues. Those have since been corrected and corrected really well

I still think they were better last year.
I reserve the right to change my opinion once I see them in person.

Also the same VT that is ranked 3rd in the nation in total defense right now. They were and will remain the best defense we have played all year - just like the vast majority of us said the day we played them.

They've played Pitt , eastern car, duke and Marshall( 3 offensive tds).

You LSU guys realize we are still not your rival, right? If we are really arguing about which teams are better 2011 or 2013, or how good out offense was against out opener with VT, then you guys are just sad . . . and we are truly the kings of the SEC - with zero teams (especially jealous ones) even close to our superiority.

I think Bama can beat Oregon, but FSU is looking like the best team in America right now. They're just purely dominating everybody. When's the last time a team shut out another ranked team 63-0? Never? I think Never is the correct answer.
They look like a better version of our 2007 team. I remember when we demoralized 9th ranked VT 48-7 and then VT went on to play in the Orange Bowl. They dismantled Clemson the same way 55-14 AT THEIR HOUSE.
FSU has scored no less than 41 in a game and average 52 a game. They've beaten every team by at least 2 TDs and have gave up more than 17 once and it was 34 although they too have only faced one good offensive team.
I'd say Bama has the slight edge on defense and FSU has the edge on offense. People need to realize that that game would be a battle.

This offense is completely different now.
We should score at will on LSU, but we won't.
LSU is gonna do what VT did. Get RIGHT in the face of our WRs and force them to beat the press. It'll be press man all night, with two safeties deep. LSU isn't going to let McCarron get vertical. They'll send 5 or 6 all night and force Bama to run against it and give McCarron time to throw against the press with that pressure.
That's why I think Bama needs to spread it out early and throw it all over the field. Put Coop/White wide, Jones/Norwood in the slot, Yeldon/Drake next to AJ. First two drives Bama should have long drives, but McCarron needs over 11 pass attempts in those drives. Two or three vertical throws. TJ/Drake will get their runs, but I see Coop/White having big days if we execute.
Defensively just bait Mett. LC/HaHa have insane closing speed, if Mett sees OBJ or Landry one on one with any of our CBs, he's gonna throw it up and trust they make a play. The safeties gotta get there and put their paws on a few balls early. Get Mett to question everything he sees that way. Let Hill run against the front seven, he alone won't outscore Bama. We held him to a plebeian 3.69 YPC last year, I doubt we do that again, but I could see 4.3 or something. Just don't let Mett beat us. Get up 14 or so early and Hill isn't a factor, just pin the ears back and get after Mett.
I've been saying 35-20, and that's probably what it should be, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's another 21-17 type game, or even a 38-31 type game.

And we've beaten Ole Miss and you haven't. What does it matter anymore? We kicked arse all throughout the month of October. You can say our schedule was cream puff but good teams are supposed to destroy inferior teams, not let them hang around for a half like LSU did to Furman last weekend.
