Could someone please list the starters and key reserves at those positions and their actual size please. Much appreciated.

The Don


Francois and Hatcher were the starters earlier in the year, but Tahj Jones and Minter have seen increased PT lately. LSU may play more 4-3 than nickel this game with Bama's run game or they could play nickel and bring TM closer to the LOS.

much smaller than the giant Bammer o-line. LSU is fricked.

This is from the beginning of the year so it's not as accurate anymore (especially at LB where some guys have gotten passed) but it will give you an idea.


ETA: nm, it looks like he updated it

Thanks. I thought you guys would be bigger on defense. I guess you have one of the fastest D's around but I'm starting to feel good about shoving the ball down your throat with Trent. I did notice that you have a decent sized OL and a stable of big bruising RB's. I like our defense to slow your running game with how big our front seven is though. Good luck.

I've noticed Minter has been making some plays in the backfield the past few games

Thank god we stopped playing Hatcher so much, he's fast but man he got burned quite a few times.

Seemed so innocent at first - just wanting info and then the giant flame started. Typical.

Yep, I wanted to see if that fast defense was small enough for Bama to just run right at it with power running Nostradamus.

I guess he doesn't realize that Bear Bryant made a living with smaller, faster defenses. #historyfail

Or he doesn't realize we have the #4 rush defense in America.

When you say shoving the ball down LSU's throat, you referring to this?

Hey, I am not by any means downplaying the LSU D. It's a great defense, not on Bama's level but a very ,very good defense capable of dominating a game. Not many teams want any of that D but Bama has the size and players to run the ball against LSU, it's the passing game that has me worried. We'll run the ball and use the short passing game cause the LSU secondary ain't gonna let much get deep for sure. Our biggest advantage is that we have a very big and physical defense capable of stopping the run of LSU. Bama has the best defense in America.
