Did anyone watch the LSU Bama game

Jimmy-

Good points- I don't expect LSU to be near as successful as Georgia Southern.Like you said, the first time you see the triple option it is hard to defend. LSU runs a much simpler style option. I just think they will have some success on the perimeter. Knowing the Mad Hatter though, he might try to incorporate a couple of triple option plays. I give Lee credit for how he played before the Alabama game but if Jefferson wouldn't have gotten in that fight then Lee would have never sniffed the field this year. Under does seem like the right play.

Don't get me wrong, I think LSU will still have some success attacking the perimeter of Alabama's defense.  They're too good not to.  I still think the perimeter is the path of least resistence.

I would like to add a couple more thoughts with respect to the option.  First of all the option LSU is not a tricky option like you see with triple option teams.  One of the reasons LSU is so successful with it is they get terrific blocking on the outside.  If they can account for all the defensive players and lock-up with then for a second or two, it's a 6-8 yard gain.

The problem with the option is that it exposes Jefferson to vicious hits from Alabama's linebackers.  And if there is anyone you don't want to get hit by, it's those monsters.  For that reason I think LSU will have to manage how many times they run that.

Just because LSU will attack the perimeter a lot, they'll still ram Ware and Hilliard between the tackles.  They aren't going to abandon that.  But I do expect to see Alabama's defense be more assignment sound in defending the option, and do a better job of recognition and shedding blocks early.

The wild card in this game is can LSU make some plays in the passing game, because that's what they'll need to do if they want to leave the Super Dome as BCS national champs.  They weren't able to do it the first game, but Jordan Jefferson has a lot more game reps under his belt this time around.  Can he make some plays with his arm???  That will be one of the keys of the game.

The game is over a month away.  That makes a big difference.

We might even see a TD in this game.  

Tell me this if JJ can run the damn option so good why didn't LSU get a 1st down the 1st half of the SEC Championship game, how many did Boise State get or any other team get on Georiga as far as 1st downs in the 1st half....get real everybody don't be blind.

LSU offense sucks playing a decent or good defense.

If you people think LSU can score alot of TD's on Alabama's defense i got some beach front property for sale in Tennesssee.

Bet on LSU this go round but you best think real damn hard before you throw you're money away.

If you think Les Miles is the better coach bet LSU, if you let these LSU fans talk you into thinking LSU can beat Alabama (2) times in one year bet LSU.

If your a smart capper you best think again because you are missing out on the LOCK OF A LIFE TIME.

Thats right all you LSU fans talk your shit....say noway it's okay if you think your sorry ass offense can score on Alabama go get a morgage on you're house and double your money if thats what you think.

But stop trying to drag other people down with you.

LOCK PEOPLE

Don't say there are no such thing as a lock this is a lock.

Not only is Alabama going to win they will take LSU to the woodshed, in La.

Hate on a football field drives a young man into busting some ass, LSU ass will get their ass busted.

Call me a homer, call me a bitch, call me what the fuck you want but remember i will be here to let all of you know i was right about it being a LOCK.

Think with your heads and not your ass....

and blowout you're just a blowhard....so come back and call me a little boy...you the most candy ass LSU fan on this site.

Dream on Alabama haters Dream on the title is coming back to Alabama and it don't take a homer to see it either....

Roll -Tide

Lucan-

Get a fucking life- Anytime anybody discusses the possibility of Alabama losing a game you resort to talking smack, name calling. It seems lately you can not discuss a game without doing any of those things. If LSU sucks so bad why did they beat Alabama? Game was fairly even except for special teams which LSU dominated. Special teams are part of the game. Saban was outcoached in that game as well. JJ running the option was what helped win the game against Alabama. Against Georgia LSU only ran the option twice in the first quarter and twice in the second quarter all for positive yards. Poor field position kept them from running it more. You saw what happened in the 2nd half. Go ahead and say Alabama is a lock. Please keep showing your ignorance.

Anybody that believe this piece of shit should not be capping any sports...

He says the reason LSU could not run the option the 1st half was because they had poor field position.

LSU fans wanted Les Miles fired at the beginning of this season, and was dogging JJ out so bad, they didn't even won't him has a QB.

What they won (3) NCG in their school history and one of them was with Nick Saban's recruits...

What aspect was LSU better in...

Leaving the field with a win !...

I agree and disagree with Saban not being a great game-day.  He is not very good on the offensive side of the ball, but is outstanding on the defensive side of the ball.

Let's reserve LSU's "it factor" designation until after the national championship game.  If they win, then they we can safely crown them with the "It factor."

Lucan-

I said they "kept from running" the option because you don't want to be pitching the ball around when you are backed up (in case you didn't watch the game their average starting position was their own 14yd line in the first half)

I didn't say they "could not" run the option - Big difference you clown 

 How is it the overtime rule cost Alabama the game? Both teams had the same chance and Bama couldn't convert- Special teams is part of the game- Alabama couldn't stop LSU in overtime and that is why they lost. Alabama's FG kicker missed a long FG because they went backwards in overtime. You are the biggest crybaby i have ever seen.  

Thank you

Saban's a good coach but an even better recruiter. That being said Miles is no slouch. He was slow to win me or many other fans over for that matter. He's a good coach although goofy and i think he has learned from his past time management mistakes. The players sure play their asses off for him.Ever since he turned the Michigan job down i think he got a lot of people's respect since that would have been his dream job. I'm too lazy to look it up but i'm pretty sure LSU and Bama pretty much take turns each year on who has the better recruiting classes. This next game should be a good one and i see it being higher scoring although that wouldn't take much. My prediction is LSU 23 - 17.

DoubleUp4Life-

You got that damn right- And now you see that mess in the NFL. Guys just want to put on a big hit but don't know how to wrap up and tackle properly. Makes me sick. And lots of them celebrate after every damn tackle. I mean act like you've made a tackle before.
