Sportsfanatic1 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 This is a HUGE game. Still not sure about the QB for Bama but reports say he's on a treadmill. Interesting thing is both have byes to kinda get healthy. Burrows is playing like an NFL1st rounder with some good receivers catching the ball. Bama's receivers seem like if you get the ball in their hands it's a minimum of 10 yards gain. Game could very well be won on special teams and defense. Thoughts?

WETSU Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Lsu had the better defense I think. After watching the two several games this season, I think LSU has the edge on defense and surprisingly at QB. Bama has the better special teams and offensive weapons. I also am not sure about Tua and his mobility/durability coming off this surgery and I think he will need both against LSUs defense. Gun to my head right now... 31-24 LSU. Might change throughout the next two weeks seeing who heals up the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champ1000 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Lsu wins this year. They are the frontrunner for the playoffs. 1. Lsu 2. Ohio st 3. Clemson 4. Alabama The committee wants to avoid a all sec Championship and will not leave the Defending Champions out. Louisiana State vs Ohio St in the title.

Coach Rab Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Last time we made a thread for this game it was in anticipation of the 9-6 or 6-3 epic beat down that LSU put on Alabama... I’ll wait to talk about this one the week of the game... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. P Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I think Burrow is gonna have a great game, but I don't think LSU will be able to stop Alabama's wideouts or RBs. Not sure if it'll be 9-6 or 49-42, but I think Alabama is the more complete team. Tide rolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTV1 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 I think the pollsters gave Alabama all the ammunition they need today by voting LSU #1. I expect the Tide to come out rolling. Alabama 28 LSU 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETXfan16 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I'm not sure I can roll (pun intended) with Bama when Tua is nursing an injury. I'm going to go with the 2019 Heisman trophy winner Joe burrow and the LSU Tiguhs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Rab Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I already said that I am not going to comment too much on this thread until the week of the game... but here are some things to think about... Who are the teams that have beaten Alabama the past few years? Were they one sided teams? Were the offenses they faced better than what LSU is producing this year? Finally, Alabama's defense is underperforming more than they have in the past 5-6 seasons... are they down? Where are the holes? How does LSU exploit them?

Finally, Alabama's defense is underperforming more than they have in the past 5-6 seasons... are they down? Where are the holes? How does LSU exploit them? I'll give you my reasoning on why I have LSU in this game. LSU can match Alabama's physicality. This is big. Alabama is so good because they have talent, coaching, and they can just straight up bully you. However, the times we've seen them in trouble in the past is when teams match their physical play. If Tua can't scramble, I don't see Bama winning. And Mac Jones can't beat the Tigers. That's a bold statement, but I'll stand behind it. I haven't watched enough of Alabama to know their defensive weaknesses, but I've seen enough of LSU's offense and Joe Burrow to believe that they can exploits those holes. I'm a firm believer that if you can match Alabama physically, LSU is good enough on defense to keep an 85% Tua or Mac Jones from throwing all over the field.

This should give you insight on how good this game SHOULD be: ALABAMA: Total Offense: 2nd in SEC Total Defense: 3rd in SEC Rushing Defense: 6th in SEC (127.4 ypg) Passing Defense: 2nd SEC (180.1 ypg) LSU: Total Offense: 1st in SEC Total Defense: 4th in SEC Rushing Defense: 2nd in SEC (97.9 ypg) Passing Defense: 7th in SEC (217.5 ypg) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
