re: Serious question...if RR doesn't beat us deep can LSU win?

Bama can't stop the deep ball against UF and Ole Miss with no threat of a running game. I think we'll live.

Was Bama forced into man to man by Arky's run game? No. Bama thrives in zone.

I love how alabama fans talk shite about thier defense from last year, which was one of the best in the SEC.

Any fan of a team that lost to a Crowton offense with JJ as the primary qb should just STFU and see what happens on 05 NOV 11

We are the only team in the country that can stop LSU's running game with 7 in the box, 2 deep look.

IF...bama can stop the run only using 7..THEN yes it will be much harder to hit a deep ball to RR or anyone else.

Making the assumption however that your D can stop the run with only 7 IMO is wrong. To do that you have to win the man on man battles between the O-line and the D-line. The D-line is the weakest part of your defense. Our O-line, like yours, has some future NFL talent on it. To my eyes it is unlikely your D-line will be dominant enough to survive without help in the box. Your LB's are superior but their job is to defeat the block of the FB and make the tackle on the Iso plays. It is safe to say bama's LB's have never faced a 275 baby elephant lead blocker...but they will Nov 5th.

To my mind this will be the game. If either team can stop the others running game with only 7 they will have a huge advantage. The truth is however, from watching the film of the last couple of LSU/Bama games, this won't happen. It will be more of a cat and mouse game with both teams trying to sneak help in the box and hoping their superior secondaries can avoid giving up the big play.

I'm still trying to figure out how these idiots know how to use the internet!

You mean the defense that had 10 new starters and no JUCO Jesse Williams?

So those aren't the same guys from last year? And only your guys are allowed to improve? And WTF cares about Jesse Williams? His 3.5 TFL and 0.5 sacks don't exactly strike fear in my heart.

LSU has a deep, experienced, and talented OL that is the best in the SEC by any statistical measure.

Your DL, while good, is paper thin. The fourth quarter is ours. Heck, the third quarter may well be ours as well.

Yes, we can beat you without a deep catch by RR....

Please take note of the following:

1. Our defense is as good as yours.
2. Our running game is as good as yours.
3. Our coach is as good as yours.
4. Our qb's are as good as yours.

I'll stop now, because I could do a "as good as yours" on every component of the team.

The bottom line is this. Our teams are pretty much mirror images of each other. The winner of this game is the team that gets the collective breaks. Turnovers. Calls. Capitalizing. Making the other pay for mistakes.

I have no clue who is going to win this game. Like I've said a hundred times, it's the biggest game of my 46 year old life.

I love Nick Saban as a coach, but I'd want no other man currently coaching any level of football over Les Miles in a winner take all, cage match.

Good luck in the game. I mean that too btw. I want to beat Alabma in a game that's not decided by a call, or a wierd arse bounc.

If y'all win, enjoy your NC




This like one of the LSU fans I hung out with the last 2 games in TT. I wish you guys the best of luck also. I just can't stand all the flaming.
