Two comparisons of respective strength of schedules. These obviously don't mean anything but are interesting for discussion purposes. Southeastern is not considered in either. ESPN FPI LSU - 3,12 ,15, 16, 18, 49, 80 ...........Mean 27.57 Alabama - 17, 49, 56, 82, 93, 94, 104 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,70 Massey Composite Ratings (Average of over 20 computer ratings) LSU - 3, 10, 17, 33, 38, 39, 58 .......... Mean 28.28 Alabama - 20. 39, 49, 68, 88, 89, 104, 108 ........ 73.12
If they weren’t demolishing those shitty teams I might feel better. One thing that does suck though is those big physical games create more injuries. While LSU has had to run through a gauntlet and suffered many injuries as a result, Bama plays teams who have tutus for uniforms.
I understand. But, this is reason for hope. Another reason is that, at least statistically, we did as well as they did against the one common opponent, Ol' Miss.
It will be interesting to see what Tua and the gump receivers do against good coverage. It’s different if you have to throw into tight coverage every time. The Tide receivers are good but they’re not supermen...not so sure about Tua. They’ve had easy pickings so far....let’s see what happens with Greedy & Fulton in their faces and Delpit blowing them up.
Would expect them to spread the ball around more at the opening to find a weak point. That may end up being the TE/LB contest.
