He's asking for reasons LSU will beat Bama, but he wont acknowledge any of these because that would imply Bama will lose. Get out of here with logic and schemes.....Bama fans wont have any part of that.


I don't know about this guy but most won't. They don't want to hear anything other than how great Trent Richardson is and how their defense is impossible to score on. Fine by me.

but would love to hear some actual points.


1. See 2010 results. LSU was not expected to win that game either.

2. After reviewing the 2010 game, see the player turnover. Bama lost QB, RB (albeit, TR is as legit as MI), WR. LSU lost DL, LB, DB. The loss of Sheppard was big. However, the defensive rotation this year provides great depth. It can be argued that LSU's 2011 D > LSU's 2010 D (seems obvious, but turnovers and way better LSU offense can skew the numbers a bit).

3. LSU's defensive advantage: DB. LSU plays better man-to-man defense than Bama. Bama's blitz scheme provides pressure, forces quick throws, and attacks from the back end on any receiver attempting to catch. On the man plays, they always seem to trail by a step or two. LSU's DBs are generally in the hip pocket of the receivers. Do not bring up WVU. They're offensive scheme, drastically different from Bama's, allowed LSU to play off, making WVU drive 15 plays and 80 yards to score.

3. Senior QBs vs. Sophomore QB: both LSU QBs have played at Alabama before, nearly pulling the upset in 2009. AJ McCarron has not faced an in-your-face defense like LSU's.

4. Been there, done that. LSU plays well at Alabama. In the last seven games, LSU is 5-2, with the two losses (2009 & 1999) by a combined 16 points.

5. No luck anymore. For years, Les has been dogged by the media and fans for needing luck to win. This year is different. Beating all opponents by double digits. Being tested at neutral site games and on the road, passing all of them in dominating fashion.

I will proclaim LSU as the best team in the Country, but it will not happen. LSU is a great team, but UA I believe is 10 points better.


McCarron = 3 picks

Seriously, we are going to have to put 8 in the box and make McCarron beat us.


Exactly. Against Tenn, our safeties were deep the entire game. This will not be the case against Bama. Taylor and Reid are excellent at closing on the run game when called upon to do it. I am from Sulphur and am relatively close to the Tahj Jones situation. Tahj is not 205 pounds. He has put on significant weight and is up to about 215-220; not great weight, but not a killer for a Sam LB in Chavis' system.

I admit UA was supposed to win the game last year. As said by coach Saban on many different occasions the team was never focused and lacked leadership. Coach saban has said on this team is that the leadership and never say die attitude is back. Yes it seems last year defense was better, but that is not the case. The DB's played young and inexperienced all year , and Dareus and Upshaw were hurt and never got healthy until leading yp to the Bowl Game. I will say if there is going to be a team to beat Alabama it will be LSU and vice versa, and if LSU wins I will pull for them on January 9th, 2012. I just believe Alabama has a more complete team than last year, and alot has to do with leadership and being more experinced. once again if Alabama loses i will scream Geaux tigers the rest of the year.

Hey count rag bama tard.


Bama's Schedule:

Kent State is ranked dead last in total offense.
Penn State is ranked 97th in total offense.
North Texas is ranked 106th in total offense.
Ole Miss is ranked 102nd in total offense.
Vandy is ranked 96th in total offense.
Arkansas is ranked 15th.

If LSU had played this schedule they'd be #1 in total defense. I have no doubt Bama is good, but this level of competition skews their numbers slightly.

LSU's schedule:

Oregon is ranked 3rd in total offense.
Moo State is ranked 85th in total offense.
WV is ranked 13th in total offense.
Kentucky is 114th.
Tennessee is 63rd.

Now do us all a favor and put you're face on a grinder.

You should take your declarations of domination to a Tenn. board. That's Bama's opponent this week. I assure you, Bama will not dominate this LSU team. This will be the strongest team on the LOS they face this season. The game will be similar to last year's. Turnovers and field position will determne the outcome, two areas where LSU excels.

This guy is a complete moron to think it's an absolute that Bama will run the ball. The Offensive Line is essentially the same and they had 1 more Heisman winner in the backfield last year. Chavis will scheme bama the same as last year and bring the safeties up, and play Man to man coverage. Bama could run on us; but they could also get contained. People who speak in absolutes are often on the lower side of intelligence and take Modified tests in public school.

Alabama has the same defense, and a watered down version of the offense they had last year. We will beat bama again!!!!

We have a better QB, better WR's, a better secondary, a vastly better T/O ratio, and better special teams.


At no point will they have a short field unless its a turnover, which we don't do.

SU will not be able to stop UA running game. Alabama is sound up front, LSU will have to force 3rd and Longs so the D-line can be a factor. UA will do the majority of their passing on 1st and 2nd downs where they can use the playaction. UA will stop LSU's run and make the 1 dimensional, and LSU doesn't have the passing game to consistly beat UA through the air. UA 28- LSU 7


I think you're wrong. Bama scores around 74 points this game. LSU will be lucky to get a first down.













I'M JOKING HAHAH

I think it's hard to project a game like this especially predicting a win by more than 7

If LSU wins we won't see you on this board because you'll run away and not eat crow. It's pretty easy to spot your kind around here, boy.
