Our Dline will contain LSUs running game forcing Mett to pass. Then we play the waiting game because he will turn the ball over.


Georgia stopped LSU's running game, and Mett never turned the ball over. UGA's Defense may not be as good as Bama's, but that was a big game for Mett, and he never made a bad decision.

Unfortunately for Alabama they are T-12th in the SEC in total sacks with just 11 on the season and they are 99th in the country in sacks per game with 1.4.

That will happen a lot when opponents are only converting 29.52% of 3rd downs and we are 4th in the country in 1st downs allowed. There just aren't enough plays to get a ton of stats.

Mettenberger is a sub par QB he will throw at least 2 picks this game maybe more


And last year we heard that he was going to throw 3 INTs vs Bama

Worked well last year

Mett wasnt focused and played like crap against OM. That is not indicative of the season or how he will play this saturday.

The only difference is Bama's secondary > UGA. Bama DBs will bait him into throwing into double coverage.

it is obvious that the weakest part of Bama's defense is their secondary


Prepare for surprise.

I'm more worried about LSU running on us.

Stats to make up for stats that are bad stats for your stats.

1. Vinnie was not our best DB.
2. Saban's defenses at Bama have never had eye-opening sack stats.
3. We'll stop y'all enough to let our offense outscore you.

That isn't really relevant to what I was talking about but okay. He said we don't have a lot of sacks this year. I said we haven't had a lot of plays to be able to get those sacks on. I'm not sure how LSU is relevant in that one.

You think Metty was the reason for LSU's loss last year? You sound smart.
