LSU-BAMA Weaknesses.

With our game coming up this week I have been focusing on more of each teams weeknesses than their strengths. Would love to hear LSU fans thoughts on your top three weeknesses going into the Bama game that you believe could result in a loss.
I will share mine about Bama. I know some will use this as an opportunity for jokes but I am looking for serious and thought provoking discussion.
1st- Our inconsistency at FG has me scared to death it will come down to a 4th QTR kick to win or lose and we will not be successful.
2nd- inconsistency with our OL is another huge area I am concerned with. Will our offense keep your DL out of the backfield and not make numerous dumb penalties and missed assignments? So far this year it has not been the case and we shoot ourselves in the foot. Very Up and Down.
3rd- 3rd down conversion has been terrible for us this year. We dont have Blake Simms back there making first downs with his feet and getting us out of trouble time and time again. Coker has a very good arm, but he needs protection and has to stay mentally focused. On 3rd downs this year we have not looked good. Will it come back to bite us this week?

I can tell you that the LSU secondary loves to blow coverage

LSU passing game is #116 out of 127. Stop the run, win the game...that first part isn't easy to do though lol

Alabama has a shite offense with essentially zero ability to protect their QB. That's really their biggest weakness, imo.

1st - kick/punt coverage
2nd - forcing turnovers
3rd - busted coverages

Secondary, play calling, and special teams.

My absolute favorite Rant line of reasoning.

These for sure, along with the ability of the LBs to cover OJ Howard.

Sounds like us last year. We could not buy a turnover. Seriously. I called the REC and they said $100,000 would not even buy is one.

Ok. Take Harris. The thread asked what the weakness was. I'm sure being dead last in the league would be a weakness..

Ever think that the low passing ranking could be due to the dominant running game? Just a thought.

1. Our secondary has blown coverages all year and has yet to put a nail in the coffin when we are ahead in the second half.
2. Our special teams have been the worst I've seen it at LSU in a long time! Hopefully we can cover kicks and punts to give is a chance to pin Bama back.
3. Getting too conservative with a lead. I understand the reason for it but I think it could hurt us if we get a lead in this game, and completely throw the pass game out the window. This could cause plenty 3 and outs and out pressure on our defense. Kinda what happened in the Florida game.

Well Ole Miss is 1st in passing but 7th in rushing in the conference. I guess the dominant passing game didn't hurt our rushing game much...???

Brandon Harris is among the Top 20 QBs in both Quarterback Rating and YPA without throwing an interception in 7 games. We don't throw because we don't need to.

Actually.... Brandon Harris has done better against ranked opponents. What has chad kelly done against ranked opponents?

LSU can throw this year when they have to, but why would they when they have LF7?
Brandon Harris the last three games
Vs. USC 18-28 228 yds 2 tds 0 ints
Vs. UF 13-19 202 yds 2 tds 0 ints
vs. WKU 11-20 286 yds 3 tds 0 ints
And don't forget Florida was supposed to have one of the best secondaries in the league....

LSU weaknesses coming in to the Bama game:
1) special teams. Specifically the punting unit
2) secondary. Our guys get out of position a lot and blow the coverage (I hate to give this away on the board, Saban might read this and figure it out from my post where we're vulnerable)
3) bama has won 84 National Championships and never loses ever to anyone

The Florida game was decent. The title is about weaknesses. If you are going to make LSU beat you the goal is to sell out to stop the run and force Harris to beat you. Fortunately for LSU, so far this year he hasn't been asked(hasn't had to) do that.
