I agree... i will add that i think the difference maker in this game will be Guice... Bama's d will show the train all the respect he deserves and will be key on stopping him from having a good game but will kinda let their guard down when Guice is in... i see him breaking one or two big runs like Ford used to do against them...
I'd like to see sometime in the Game for LSU to line up with both Fournette and Guice in a split backfield. One or the other could go in motion. Or not. At the very least wouldake Bama burn a time out.
I like the sound of that. I think Guice has the shake and speed to really compliment the bruising style of Fournette. Having them both in the game gives options. I think the big key though is blocking and how well the pass is mixed in. Bama has by far the best run D LSU has or will face. UF was good, but Bama is better.
Bama's strength is their linebackers. They have great sideline to sideline ability, they tackle well, but they are very aggressive. I think LSU needs to use that aggressiveness against them. Only 2 teams have eclipsed 100 yards on the ground against Alabama this year, Tennessee and Georgia. Chubb had 146 on them and Jalen Hurd had 91 on them. Chubb had an 80 yard TD run late in the 3rd though. I think LSU's O line is better than Tennessee's and Georgia's. Hurd averaged 5.1 a carry and only had 18 runs so it's not like Alabama can't be run on. I think they were also really focused on Dobbs running the ball too though. I think if Harris can get a few scrambles, and complete some balls, and LSU runs some misdirection, they can have success on the ground and in the air. Remember, even though LSU has lost 4 in a row they could have won any of those match ups and all of them since Saban has been at Alabama and vice versa. I think Les is tired of this bullshit, I think this is why Leonard came to LSU, for this game. I think you are going to see a hungry LSU team that feels disrespected, and I think the Tigers will prevail.
I don't know about the numbers but I'm feeling like we're going to beat the dog shit out of them. It will not be decided on a final drive this year. People know how good we CAN be but Saturday they will see how good we ARE. Miles and the Tigers will shock the college football world. By this time next week Bama will be off the grid and all eyes on LSU/Ole Miss.
I do worry about the way Chubb was totally stifled. They dared Georgia to throw and the young qb could not come through. I hope we are aggressive enough in our play calling. Harris can't simply pass when it's 3rd and long. play action on first and second down is mandatory.
Bama - 26 US - 23 LF7 - 23 for 80 rush, 3 for 20 rec, 2 TD's 6 - 11 for 20 pass 103 yards, 3 rush for 28 yards, 2 INT Henry - 19 for 112 and 2 TD's for the bad guys. I think Saban will disguise coverage and force Harris into a couple of picks. Homefield which hasn't played well in the series in the recent past will here.
If LSU waits until the 2nd half to pass to open the run .We "N" a heap o trouble .It is going to be a tossin and catch for Bama's offense Vegas tells me the teams are almost equal giving Bama 6.5 favorite 48 -47 Bama goes for two after the final td and is stopped If the game is played to the teams strength and if LSU comes out taking Sabans dare and passes both teams have 0 defense WEST COAST FOOTBALL now in the SEC LSU should be able to play a little better than the VOLS. If that happens LSU will win
