"We're just going to try to line up and run right at them." AL OL Justin Smiley

Alabama is 0-3-1 against LSU at night in Alabama.


The home team is 9-23-1 since 1970 in the series.

"We're just going to try to line up and run right at them. It seems when teams do that and are effective at it, that's the best chance of winning against them."

-- Alabama guard Justin Smiley

 

I can't remember, but didn't Auburn try that gameplan?!?

 

If that's what Bama want's to do it should be fun to watch this defense dismantle these guy's

 

If you run it right at us you run right into Chad Lavalais.

 

I predict this "stategy" will last exactly 2 very short 3-and-out series. By the time Bama gets the ball again, they'll be behind 2 touchdowns and start winging the ball.

 

i predict this is smiley baiting the hook because everyone knows the LSU secondary is suspect and brodie is going to have a field day. Bama 33- LSU 20

 

Yeah they are suspect, Corey Webster is a suspect in the case of broken hearted Georigia fan's and he can do that same to the Crimson.

 

I do wonder if Smiley is trying to throw LSU off of the game plan. You have to believe that they are going to try Florida's game plan. They are saying they plan to run right at us, but they will probably try to beat us with the pass, turnovers, and trick plays.
