also posted this in SECGuru's thread. Just gonna copy pasta into this tread as well
the clear advantage is the line of scrimmage. Have thought all year that Bama's OLine is their weakness this year. So far they haven't played anyone that has had the front 4/7 to test this weakness. LSU does. Travis Reier said on the radio this morning that Skeen and B Jones are not 100%, which could be very bad if so.
LSU's OLine is big and physical as are their RBs. I don't think Bama's front 3/7 have as much of an impact in this game on defense as LSU's.
I think Reuben Randall will need to have a big game for LSU to win. I think Odell Beckham is a wildcard for them also.
Just remember that last year USCe and LSU beat bama last year by playing physical at the line of scrimmage, lining up and running it straight at them. Then on defense stuffing the box and making QB beat them. TRich will not have the game in his hands like he has for most of this year. It will be up to how McTat does when he is pressured
Definitely don't see how anyone can get enough of a read on this game to make is a large play. That is silly in my humble opinion.
edit - that's all I can handle talking about this game for this week though. Will be fun to watch, however, there are much better games on the board this week. as far as discussion goes... I'll be
