Hey, I’m a big Georgia fan, but…seeing as how they didn’t make it to the SEC, I definitly hope that Alabama wins. But, I think that Florida will win. THey always seem to win the important games. I predict that this upcoming game will be a subdued version of the Florida-Georgia game.

LSU will start fast this time and keep it close early on. Bama to fade in the second half and especially 4th quarter. Key is to stop Bama early and keep it close.

IMHO, LSU’s ONLY hope in this game is to absolutely stop the run. Bama is very physical up front and will try to smash you in the mouth. LSU’s run defense has been shown to be weak in previous games vs UGA and UF. It’s a day game and bad things seem to happen to LSU at home when the sun is out. This is one of the games that I had originally picked as an upset, but after the game was moved to from the night, I am just not feeling it anymore. Bama, while tough, does have some areas that can be exploited. The question is, is LSU good enough to exploit this team? Besides, as a Gator fan, we need Bama to be undefeated when we face them in the SECCG

I think this is a good prediction, however amazing things have happened in Tiger Stadium and LSU wants to prove a lot after a lack-luster season thus far. I think they will get the upset before a very loud and bitter crowd. LSU by 7.

I see the possibility of an upset, but only if LSU can avoid putting it’s quarterbacks in tough situations. To do this, they have to establish a running game, which is easier said than done. Bottom line though, is that they have to take the game off the QBs shoulders. Defensively, the Tigers have a solid run defense and pass rush. If LSU can stop the run and get to the passer, they could be in business. Too much time for John Parker Wilson though could spell trouble as LSU’s secondary is often caught out of position. Also, the Tigers have to keep the defense off the field. Long drives by Bama followed by a Tigers 3 and out will give The Tide a decided edge. I know that sounds elementary, but that situation has plagued LSU all year. As for intangibles, I agree with the original post that Saban’s return makes for a nice backstory, but will have little impact on the game. Also, LSU’s crowd often seems to be neutralized during day games. In watching Alabama, this year, they seem to play to the level of their opponent, so I’m expecting a close game. It should be a good one. I’ll go out on a limb and say Tigers by 3. (Yeah, I know. It’s a long limb!)

PatD I was talking about Alabama’s running backs plural, so we are on the same page.

I think it will be a closer game, but an Alabama win. It will be within a touchdown or three points… Alabama’s win. Not within 10 points.
