I doubt seriously you will see man coverage on both sides, if at all.

I don't disagree that it would be beneficial, but it's just not Chavis' M.O.

Both teams will be hesitant to take risks. I expect what we always see when two heavyweights do battle in the SEC.

It will take a few big mistakes to change the gameplan on both sides. Fans will want to see their team do something to make a big play, but the coaches will do everything to prevent that big play.

Take what the other team gives, and the team that executes better will win. I think LSU will need to take more risks, because Saban will have those guys executing their arse off.

You WON'T want to see Fluker and Cody in the Red Zone offense for Bama. That would be 700 plus pounds coming at some unfortunate defenders. Most DB's and LB's run from Cody I have seen it more than once.

700 plus pounds moving at close to the speed of light, we know.

he didnt say we went to the spread but we needed improvement in that area to be able to continue to run successfully. The fact that you cant see that amazes me.

First 4 plays to Ingram for 75 yards and TD


I dont think nobody is that stupid to believe he will be throwind a lot. the only way he starts lobbing up passes early on is going to be because we put the stop on Ingram. and people are also forgetting the bruiser Richardson too.

And it shows.......in practice..........

Easily one of the more amusing Saban quotes. Lets see how it "shows" on the field against a rapidly improving LSU defense.

LSU by 17 points in a very humbling experience.

LSU will play man to man some - why not.

I'm not saying I wouldn't, only saying I will be pleasantly surprised to actually see it.

Or not, depending on the unreliable CBS camera angles. They're more concerned with closeups on the sidelines and in the facemasks than actual alignment and scheme.

Danielson does what he can, but CBS is all about the drama, and little to do with the game.
