score yards for 5,6,7 how will the game play out. will this rain slow down fournette like it did during the wky game? Will Tyrann Mathieu, Patrick Peterson and Kevin Minter be on hand (their bye week) to break down alabama officiating to the current team?
If only we could sneak them into the game. Rain predicted for Baton Rouge. What about Tuscaloosa? Halloween is over but they are still pimping all that Pumpkin Spice Latte Crapachino. Stop already. Two weeks ago I saw a Snickers bar at the checkout counter with Christmas wrapping. I'm not going to make my prediction yet. It's bad luck to be the first.
I have LSU winning 34-24. We're the more explosive team, I believe. We're long overdue for a victory. Saturday night we exercise the demons of the 2011 BCSNCG, and the come-from-behind losses in '12 and '14 and eliminate Alabama from the playoffs. Fournette 28 carriers for 125 yards and 1 TD. Harris 15 of 25 for 225 yards and 2 TD's. Harris has another 50 yards rushing on scrambles and designed QB runs. We lead the whole way. This one is clear cut. Tigers play their best game of the season. We come out mixing in the play-action right from the beginning and strike quickly. I see LSU with as large as a 17 point lead in this game. We're the better team. It's time.
5 - 32 yards on 5 carries 6 - 9-16 215 yards 2 TD's, add 7 carries for 78 yards and 1 TD 7 - 31 carries for 176 yards and 1 TD's 34 - 6 carries for 42 yards and 2 TD's both from the fullback position at the goal line. LSU 42 Bama 35 The Arizona 3 better be there.
How is LSU going to play on the road? Haven't played a road game since Syracuse and both road games LSU has been penalized a great deal and had points taken off the board. LSU can't afford to have points taken off the board in this game.
Fournette - 155 yards Harris - 230 yards Guice - 60 yards Bama hold Fournette for low first half yardage but Harris hits pass after pass for 2 TD's. Fournette breaks two long ones in the second half when Bama has to back off the line. LSU 27 - Bama 20
I'm picking LSU 27-24. I think if LSU comes out aggressive and sets the tempo with Harris to open up Fournette then LSU wins easier, but we know that's not happening. LSU will pound Fournette into an 8 man front for mostly very little. The game will be tight, I think Fournette will be mainly held in check. He will run for over 100 yards, most of which will come in the second half. The key will be play calling and the passing game for LSU. We must be able to pass well in order to win. Defensively we need White to shadow Ridley all over the field. I think some well timed and disguised blitzes could cause some TO's. This is a great time for Neal to have another monster performance. I also like the idea of Jackson as the punt returner. I think he is more of a big play guy, plus I never feld comfortable with White back there despite his big play potential. I just can't handle LSU giving away yet another game. I think this is a big game for Miles. He has to beat Saban again.
