I was driving at this earlier ... attempting to, at least. What do we know? I could pull the scores from the last three road games the Tide has played this year—48, 49, and 49—and say this team plays that well on the road. BUT, what kind of team is Arkansas this season? Or Tennessee? Hell, the Wildcats are one of the two most consistent teams Bama has played this year! Kentucky. smh LSU holds Ole Miss to 21 but it's not the same Ole Miss team it was a month ago. There's hardly a accurate barometer there. I still say I can't recall a season where the teams in the SEC are so schizophrenic. OT: What's a defensive skill position in your eyes?
Yes. I don't think that's a huge over-statement either. Right now Bama is leading the nation in the number of sacks—32 on the year, averaging four per game. In the last game Knight was sacked five times and I look at him as one of the more mobile quarterbacks in the conference. With LSU averaging allowing around six tackles for a loss per game and knowing the scheme is going to be make Ettling win the game? I wonder if we're going to see a repeat of the scene with Mett dragging himself on the field.
I don't think you will. Etling has been able to work the pocket better than any LSU QB since probably Flynn. Mett was a statue. I know Bama is light years better than anything Etling has seen so far but if they can keep the inside of the pocket clean for him to step into I think we can have some success.
