Losing DW for the 1st half sucks, but the key to this game will be LSU secondary vs bama Wrs. LSU can not allow the WRs to run wide open and take the top off the defense like bama has against every team this year.
I'm not sure of the stats, but I'd guess Bama avg 5/6 40+ yard passing plays a game, LSU can't allow that many big plays(i'm sure George has the stat for this). Tua is great and freakishly accurate!! Of the 4 or so games I've watched, I've been surprised with how many plays bama has had with WRs completely wide open...i'm talking no one with in 10 yards.
Bama will move the ball, just cant give up numerous big plays in the passing game. I know, easier said than done. If LSU can cut those big plays down, it will make for another great game in death valley.

I’d love to believe this, but we truly don’t know until the game happens.
Right now, if for no other reason than LSU not having a great D line to pressure Tua, you have to give Bama a distinct edge in that matchup.
We have seen Saban play conservatively against LSU in the past, but he’s never had a QB like this. I think they will be throwing downfield early and often. Kristian Fulton is going to get a lot of chances to prove himself.
Oh, and this is the game for Aranda to prove he’s as good as a substantial portion of our fan base thinks he is.
If he can get effective pressure on Tua with this front seven, we will all be impressed.

Which begs the question why some LSU fans are so confident in their secondary. Georgia had some plays like that agains LSU and Fromm didn’t make them. Tua usually makes them. There have been some coverage lapses for LSU this season that’ve gone unpunished. There are great players back there like always, but Tua will punish mistakes. Zero mental errors is going to be the requirement to make it difficult for him. This being college football, that’s a tall task

I think some of you maybe haven’t watched Tua throw the ball that much, because he doesn’t need wide open receivers.
Yeah, I see this mentioned a lot. "Those WR's won't be wide open against us!"
Firstly, have LSU fans not really watched him? It's his passes to covered receivers that have gotten him so much attention.
Secondly, the WR's are all very good. At least one of them is open at some point on every play. And Tua THROWS them open.

The difference is a QB who can either read the coverage and know where to go with the ball pre-snap or see a guy and in a split second know he will be open and throws it.

UGA and MSU has guys wide open with QBs not capable of hitting them. LSU better pray they get pressure it will be a turkey shoot.

If you think the Bama Offense is going to move the ball in the air all willy-nilly on this LSU secondary, I'm here to tell you, you're wrong. This is far and away the most talented secondary Bama will have faced to date.
If Bama wants to move the ball, run it. Devin White out, Bama O-Line is solid, and Bama has 3 solid RBs.
But to believe Tua will go into Tiger Stadium and "Light up" Greedy, Fulton, and Delpit is just very very silly.
"all willy-nilly"......."Light up"
You LSU fans seem to not like speaking in definitive terms, so let me see if I can help you. Tua will throw for at least 300 yards and 3 TDs in the game. You can count on that. I'm betting it will be more. Alabama will win this game by 2TDs.....minimum.

I've never seen a QB with pocket presence like Tua.

The same pass defense that 57th in the country? ...btw....Jalen Hurts won last year by throwing for 183 and won in 2016 by throwing for for 107.
Bama won by double digits in both games
Takeway....Bama doesn't need to throw to win the game

I dont think it will be. I think this game goes to the fourth one way or the other.

I heard we are drawing up a NHL/Ndamukong Sue play.
Send in our biggest 4th string DT to late hit/spear him then jump on his knees.
Both of them to make sure.

Saban hasn't beaten LSU by more than 10 pts in Tiger Stadium.
This game will be close however you want to slice it.
"Well Saban hasn't had a QB Like this"
Ok, he's had worse QBs but he's faced worse defenses.
