Lee is better and more experienced. RR and Beckham will both demand double team. Our running game will have sucess because Bama will have to respect our passing game. if they dont a few play action by Lee will hurt them deep. JJ on a qb rollout having the option to pass or run will be money.

I believe we can and will stop bama run game forcing mccarron having to pass. A young qb passing against this secondary??? GTFOH

These sophomores are special though. I don't think it matters how old they are. Sam, tm7, Logan, brockers, Simon, Reid are playing well above their age. The ball won't be in their hand to make a play though. It will be in RR and Lees hand when it's time to win the game.

I heard a great quote on "College football sunday" on xm 91 today. He said "Anyone that says which team has an advantage in this game is just a fan. The game is an absolute push."

I say the Fighting Tiger's pull out a victory in the end due to the depth and endurance/conditioning. But then again, I'm just a fan.

Shhhhhh . . . . no, no. Bama is coached by the friendliest most bestest and great head coach in CFB history. LSU has no chance.

NO ONE really knows until the game is played. It will come down the the match ups in the trenches IMO. The team that can get a push at the line of scrimmage is more likely to win, other things, e.g. turnovers, being equal..

Also, I give the QB edge to LSU, but only if the OL can perform. Look for 'Bama to blitz with some regularity. Can Mr. Lee handle the pressure? Same goes for Mr. McCarron.

I am pessimistic about LSU winning because that is my nature(see my posts), but would relish a win of any type in Tuscaloosa on Nov. 5.

Other likely important factors include the usual suspects of game planning and in game coaching i.e. adjustments. Which staff is better on Nov. 5? If the 'Bama OL can neutralize the Tiger front seven, I look for the Tide to prevail. Its power running game could demoralize even this group of defenders, given time.

Bama averages less than a 1/2 yard more a rush against BCS conference competition than LSU.

I'm not saying we're better or worse but I definitely like our chances against them.

Seeing through a glass darkly'. In other words, we do not get the complete picture of what the Kingdom of God is actually like. However, when we die and our souls are released, then, when we meet God face to face, we will know the Kingdom of God fully.
When Alabama plays LSU on November 5th. We will know. I have my ticket!

LSU wins because of (believe it or not) coaching. Saban is a great coach. But Miles' teams win big games because they a loose. He admits thay are big games. Saban tends to state they are just one game, which his players know obviously is not true.

Saban is arguably the better coach. But Miles will try anything at any time. That gives his players their swagger. They know he believes in them. They know they can make a mistake and the world will not end. That frees them up to make plays (i.e. punter running for a TD). That also puts the other team on its heels. With the two teams being vitually even, that will be the difference maker. LSU will play much looser than Bama. They will win the turnover battle. The Mad Hatter prevails because he is the Mad Hatter.

Lee plus Jefferson also will prove to be a much bigger advantage at QB than is now realized. LSU has an experienced QB to deal with whatever Bama throws at them. If they are getting to Lee, put Jefferson in. Are their LB's as fast as Deangelo? Haven't heard his name much lately have we?

This LSU team has been in the lab up to this point. The first experiment was to establish DLo as a receiving tight end. The second was to get Lee confident and big game ready. The third was to establish the running backs' abilities (see what we got to know who to call on in a time of need). The forth was to get JJ big game ready (the boo birds will be shown to be as ignorant as they are), the fifth was to establish the WR corp and get OBJ and RS big game ready.

Tenn, with QB starter lost, and Auburn to a lesser extent, will provide more lab work. By Nov 5, this team will be ready to roll with all hands on deck! And with no fear. They will expect to win. The first step to winning.

If we don't win the next two games it won't matter much will it?
