Double digits? Doubt it at home.

20 points? Son, you need to check into rehab.

Summer of Satan, leads to the fall of Satan, and a legend in the bayou is born, after Coach Orgeron shocks the Bama faithful in Death Valley.

Kind of a weird response to me asking for more info on your topic

True. Those Bama teams also didn't have a FG kicker like Tracy either.

LSU's defense is ranked 32nd nationally this year. Saban hasn't had a defense ranked lower than 12th since 2007 when they had the 31st ranked defense which is still a better ranking than this year's LSU defense. LSU is currently ranked 70th in total offense. Alabama hasn't had an offense ranked lower than 45th in total offense since 2008. LSU is ranked 51st in scoring offense. 2015 Alabama is the only Alabama team with a scoring offense ranked lower than 21st since 2008 when they were ranked 30th. So yeah, I hardly see any similarities between this year's LSU team and any of Saban's Bama teams.

That panel really did their homework.

I'd love to hear any other tidbits they had.


Galloway and Rece were amazed that some of these teams continue to stub their toe against Bama, almost like they have some sort of supernatural voodoo working in their favor. Although the voodoo should be in the arsenal of LSU so they can’t quite figure it out.

Those things don’t even sound right if you say it out loud. That’s like oil and water, or using a fireball chaser after drinking a light beer.

Unfortunately for LSU, Alabama resembles the best team in college football history

Saban has that luckey horse shoe firmly implanted up his arse.
It works.

Bama has only beaten LSU once by more than 10 points in Tiger Stadium in the last 20 years. I believe they've only beaten them twice by more than 7 points in the last 20 years in Tiger Stadium as well, so it might be a double digit favorite, but it won't be 20 points.

And OLs

A dominant defensive line will always have an advantage over a solid offensive line. Most years that Bama won, it was because of the defensive line. The o lines were great because of run blocking. Alabama always had studs at running back. They never really needed the line to pass protect. I know people on here (myself included) pick on Notre Dame, but they do finally have a legitimate defensive line this year. It won’t mean they would beat Bama, Georgia or LSU, but they have the horses up front on the defensive side. Now their d line is not what Clemson or Ohio State have (OSU still has a very good d line even with Bosa checking out, but they haven’t been performing to their potential), and their offensive line is a detriment but their QB does have a quick release so he’s able to hit slant passes. Should be an awesome conclusion to the college football year. Can’t wait for the finish.

Bama might have a great record against LSU in TS, but under Saban they’ve barely gotten out alive every single time they won. Largest margin of victory is 10pts, and there was at least one year where it went to OT and 2 more where it was in doubt up until the final minute.

That record stuff means little. Both teams are unique and have never faced off.

Greg McElroy and AJ McCarron both completed greater than 60% of their passes, so the comparison is invalid.

LSU is the second best one loss team.

Only beat one ranked team.

UF has beaten two. Including LSU

Who they are better than.

LSU is better than ranked teams like three or four. And only beat themselves against a team that had to fake a hurricane to try and steal a home game from a region that had just suffered a 1000 year flood. Bunch of whiny bitches.
