    Oh I realize you're supposed to keep reading into the next segment. Kinda funky way of writing. He basically stated our running game will be hurt because of the absence of Perrilloux. I doubt that seriously. Flynn has the ability to run nearly as well as Perrilloux, lest we forget.

    Yeah, but Hester, Keiland, Chuck, Murphy, Holliday......we'll run the ball however we want to on Bama. Their run defense is far from stellar. It doesn't matter if our QB's have 0 yards rushing. We'll run the ball and run the ball well.:LSU231:

    I still think this writer for CFN is about as sharp as a marble.

    From what i've seen.. bamas LBs are good north/south but are weak going to the side.

    I hope to see alot of Holliday/fake reverse options.

    this from espn insider's scout people (pay site so I'm not linking it):

    Scouts' Edge
    This is the much-anticipated first meeting between LSU coach Les Miles and Alabama coach Nick Saban, who won a national championship with the Tigers in 2003. Miles hopes to keep LSU's national championship hopes alive and take a step out of Saban's shadow in Baton Rouge. A win for Saban, on the other hand, would put the Crimson Tide in first place of the SEC West. Alabama finished fourth last year. But don't put too much stock in the significance of this game for the coaches. The bottom line is the players are ultimately the ones who decide games and this is exactly why the Tigers will get the win. LSU's front seven has the speed, athletic ability and relentlessness to control the line of scrimmage working against an Alabama offensive line that has been in a state of flux. The Tigers' also have the big offensive linemen and depth at running back to wear out the Crimson Tide's defensive front over the course of the game.

    Prediction: Tigers 28, Crimson Tide 17

    Maybe they haven't wavered from their pick. They may still like Bama to take this game.

    Offensively, we'll be fine. But on defense, we cannot let John Parker Wilson and D.J. Hall get into a rhythm. I hope Pelini brings the pressure in this game.
