Joe Burrow having a great game or Tua Tagovailoa having a bad game.

Which gives LSU the best chance of winning?

I personally think they need both to happen to have a chance.

Burrow playing well with a pass rush. If LSU can get in the back field and get in Tua’s face, then I’m confident the DBs can cover y’all WRs. If Tua has all day to throw, someone wil get open eventually.

ETA: In a game like this, there is no one singular matchup that will decide the game. Everyone needs to play.

Both.

This will be Tua's worst game this year and he will have to play the entire game.

Tua having an average game should equal things out.

We need Tua to turn the ball over a couple of times, so I’ll go with Tua having a bad game.

There was a QB from Georgia that has like a 80% pass efficiency that didn't come out in a wheelchair. Just letting you know. One of those might very well be real.

Tua having a off night would sure in the hell be in our favor. With that being said I don't think Tua will play as he has been playing all year. I could be wrong here, time will tell.

this is the only answer.

Burrow is a solid QB who will keep his team in good situations as they look to control the ball and TOP.

But, Tua is the Bama team this year. The D is still developing. LBacker play is a big step back from past years. The secondary is talented, but not consistent. DL has played well, but not dominant vs pass or run. STs (minus Waddle) are God awful. The O doesn't transition well from run to pass blocking. They dont get the push that they had in years past to control the game on the ground, even with great RBs. WRs are VERY talented, but Tua is the only consistent QB to exploit that advantage. With Jalens best asset (his legs) being a ?, if he plays at all, it is pretty much Tua or bust.

If our defense plays like it’s supposed to, we don’t need Burrow to be great. So, the answer is that Tua needs a bad game.

Tua having a bad game. We need Tua to turn the ball over IMO

Not necessarily. But Tua certainly can't have a great game.

So unless you're saying anything less than great is bad for Tua, I disagree. Tua can still have some success so long as LSU limits the damage, especially in the red zone and not allowing big plays.

Burrow definitely can't afford to turn it over and has to sustain at least a couple drives that lead to TDs. It's highly unlikely LSU wins without scoring at least 20 points so Burrow has to do enough to punch it in at least twice, get some field goals and hope the defense keeps Tua contained enough to give Burrow a chance.

Can LSU's O-line hold its own? How will LSU defend the run without Devin White for the 1st half? Against UGA, I believe LSU only rushed 3 meaning Devin was that much more critical to plugging up the middle. This game often comes down to the war in the trenches. Bama definitely has lots of options thanks to Tua but if they are having their way on the ground they'll keep pounding that instead of testing LSU's cornerbacks any more than they have to.

At least once. Delpit or Greedy need to make a play.

My goodness, it's almost like LSU has a chance.

Of those two options, Tua having a bad game. If Tua is his usual self, LSU won't be able to keep up regardless of what Burrow does.
