I was so impressed with those wins over Kent State, North Texas, Vandy, and Ole Miss. You guys look amazing!!!
Ha! You're definitely understating his coverage abilities, but that's OK. I'll let it be a surprise to ya when he's got your boys on lock down. :thumb: Again...2 picks for the guy who is average, 3 for the guy who is "great". Also...pass break-ups: Claiborne: 4, Mathieu: 5. In 2010, when Mathieu played sparingly until about mid-season, he had 7 pass break-ups to Claiborne's 6, and Mo started the entire year. I realize that TM7 has made a name for himself by causing absolute disruption near the LOS, but don't think for a second that he's limited to that.
You know we really are not even that worried about this game. It is what it is. None of us will be out there so not much we can do. Arkansas is probably as good as any team you have faced. We took them down. Penn St. is a formidable team. NOT SEC caliber but decent. We respect LSU but anyone thinking we are scared of them, a Honey Badger, or the hat is either dumb or was born a little special.
I respect bama's team. They're good. Smart lsu fans do also. I don't fear bama. We are every bit their equal and in many ways their superior. The coaches , ap voters and bcs thinks lsu is a little better too. We are #1 in all three polls. Bama is #2. Bama homers who say they are far superior are stupid. Smart bama supporters, like tusk, respect lsu. We have some homers that don't respect bama. We have many lsu fans that do. We think we will win. Gumps think they will. That's how it should be. Let me say this very clearly. Listen up so you don't miss it. Bama is not better across the board to lsu. Lsu is not over rated Bama has a great team. Lsu also has a great team. No stats you can pull out your arse should make you fail to respect this lsu team. Those that say bama is going to mop the floor with an over rated lsu team are delusional.
If you are not worried about the game, why are you over here on a LSU board trying to bring LSU down a peg or justify Bama's worth in this matchup. All i can smell is insecurity
Dude, quit for one minute thinking this is not the biggest game for both teams all year. Anyone who is saying this is not a real fan of any team because that would require some knowledge. You are better than this. Both teams know this game makes or breaks their season every year.
Another week and a half everyone will be sucking air. Why are these discussions always about extremes? These are two evenly matched teams in schemes and talent. Little things are going to matter most. There will be match up problems based on each others strength, at least that day. You know what Twain said: "there are lies, damned lies and statistics." And that goes for last year's results. One area for Bama I think is most in our favor is our size and power. We will run the ball inside the tackles. You will struggle with your linebacker size to match up with our power and strength. In our championship game with Texas, they had great athletics and came into our contest with a so-called better defense against the run. I knew better and Bama fans knew better and all those gloried safeties they had playing linebacker made for a fast team and looked really cool going east to west. Bama had no intention of playing in the spread and ran over them north to south with power all night long. At this stage we are who we are and two things you are at LB is fast and small.
Who is insinuating that bama is "scared"? Your point was that TM7 isn't that good, and mine was that you're way off-base in thinking that.
