    Passing game doesn’t suck. Bama is what Miles allowed them to become. Time to stop that shit.

    2018 - 103rd in passing offense
    2017 - 84th
    2016 - 101st
    2015 - 106th
    2014 - 116th
    2013 - 45th
    2012 - 94th
    2011 - 106th.

    Sorry, but I don't see much of a change. I'm still seeing the same offense--a few new wrinkles, but still the same production.

    Rushing offense -
    2018 - 47th
    2017 - 28th
    2016 - 21st
    2015 - 7th
    2014 - 25th
    2013 - 29th
    2012- 52nd
    2011- 22nd

    7-1 who cares what the stats are. Bama's passing game before Tua was average at best but they still won championships. You are going to win the NC again but;

    See how those stats work for you in two weeks. There are stats, then there are stats. :p

    It’s kinda like Bama penalties, it’s not the number, it’s the timing.

    That comes across more like a story where Orgeron is asking Saban to start paying rent and he's saying, just like he did to Maria, "I ain't doing it so stop asking."

    No. It's the number. This is just last year. You can go back further if you like, the story doesn't change much.

    I've seen some pretty stupid penalties over the years called on LSU during the Bama game. The majority of the time it was kids losing their composure. What do you think the odds are of one of the LSU players making a stupid decision resulting in an untimely flag? I'd put it at 1:5, or greater.

    I'll agree with you here, a bit. I think Tua's numbers are misleading considering he's missed so much playing time. Hell, over two games worth this season.

    Saban’s handed out enough ass-whippings for you to be this obnoxious, but that won’t matter in two weeks. Enjoy it while you can, I’m glad to bleed purple and gold. Ready to see some of that crimson blood, y’all ain’t bled yet.

    Burrow is better than the numbers, E is better than the numbers, our RBs are sufficient for balance (probably will have more success running than with Fournette/Guice because of offensive balance). We might even be the healthiest we’ve been all year.

    We'll see how it goes. Personally, I like Bama's chances better today than I did in '12, '14, or '16 with AJ, Blake, and Jalen.

    My random thought on Bama .... is .... I really have no idea how good they are. Sure, they look stellar against the pansy schedule they have. GA looked stellar against their pansy schedule as well, and LSU faired pretty well against them. we have a pretty good defense.

    Offense is a different story. We don’t have a run game worth talking about, and I’m afraid Bama will exploit that and make us one dimensional.

    IF .... we make it through the first half, I think we shut them down in the second half and the game becomes a battle of FGs. In that respect, I feel pretty dang good about it.
