CIVILIZED LSU vs Bama Talk Thread (With my personal input, long arse read)

This thread is for civilized discussion ONLY, I know the board has been filled with trolls, but I wanted to have some real input.

Bama O vs LSU D
Clearly Bama has the advantage at QB, I don't think I've ever seen a QB that literally has never come close to being stopped like Tua has. Even the great Johnny Football was shut down by D.J. Welter and the 2013 John Chavis defense. It will be interesting to see how Tua responds to facing the LSU DBs. I am highly anticipating the matchup between Jeudy and Greedy. I don't think he has been tested like this all year. The weakness of the secondary is John Battle, who, despite being tied for third in the nation in INTs, has had difficulty both in coverage and tackling. He will need to have the game of his life if we want to slow the Bama O down. Also, I am interested to see who Aranda plugs in in place of D White for the first half. It expect Patrick Queen, Michael Divinity, Micah Baskerville and maybe even JaCoby Stevens to see some time in this roll. Bama needs to attack these weaknesses early and often. If LSU finds a way to make it a close game or even be in the lead at half, it will get interesting when White returns to the game.

LSU O vs Bama D
Same as its been seemingly forever: LSU needs good QB play to stay in it. We can't run it up the gut every time because if it didn't work with LF7 and Guice, why in tf would it work with Brossette and Edwards-Helaire? LSU is going to need to take advantage of their big receivers such as Sullivan (6'7), Anderson (6'6), Chase, Jefferson, and Marshall who could all be potential match up nightmareS. If I see another end zone fade route to Derrick Dillon, the shortest of all our receivers, I think I might kms. That never works. Hopefully we don't do it. Finally, our O Line has done surprisingly well this year even though we've started a different five guys in every game. Hopefully they are able to give Joe enough time, which will be difficult with Buggs and Williams on the inside with Jennings coming from the edge.

I think LSU should definitely have the edge in the kicking game, Cole Tracy is spectacular, but Jaylen Waddle is an unbelievable punt returner as well so hopefully we don't kick it to him. Mecole Hardman for UGA almost made us pay big time the one time we shanked that punt.

All in all, I expect it to be a great game. I don't expect a win for LSU, but if Bama comes out flat and turns it over a few times, LSU might be able to pull off the upset. However, I fully expect Saban to have his guys ready. Anyway Tide fans for those of you who are coming to the game , I hope you enjoy your visit to BR. Win or lose I hope you are treated well and enjoy what could potentially be a legendary atmosphere. If you have any questions about the trip, feel free to ask in this thread. Thank you and as always, GEAUX TIGERS
