yes they have played the better schedule, but this game is at Alabama and i beleive Alabama to have the better coaching and the better qb and running back. I think the defenses are close to even.
give me one thing that favors LSU. And this is not a slight to LSU for they do have a great team.
Good luck
I played lsu +4.5 for a single unit. I posted these thoughts last week..............
There are several common misconceptions about this matchup IMO. The following are advantages for lsu.
Point #1. Lsu has decided edge in qb. Both lsu qbs have played an won against staunch defenses, including bama, in the past. Mccarron has no experience in this environment. Best part is perception out there gives bama the edge at qb.
Point #2. Lsu has a bigger, more athletic and deeper dl and more depth in secondary. Bottom line, lsu rotates more defensive players than bama. Few realize this.
Point #3. No head coach has performed better with additional prep time, particularly in big games, than les miles. Again, perception is miles is a goofball and saban is god.
Point #4. Lsu has a great punter who has given them a huge field position boost this season. This will not be factored into game analysis by most.
Point #5. Lsu has a more diverse offense, and have proven effective with the read option, as well as in more conventional sets with lee. Again, most will look at ypp and ypg which are in favor of bama. Most give bama a huge offensive edge, but this fexibility gives lsu an edge in a single game scenario IMO
