Why would you make the biggest bet of your life in a game of gridlock? And bet against the team that has the best punter,fg,and kick off team? And to make that large of bet when they are playing in their home state? Even if Alabama does get up 10-14 pts against LSU, Saban will pull the passing game and run it up the middle two times and throw on 3rd down and punt.

haha, not really. Just watched alot of Saban. Know how he thinks. Will see tonite.
Nobody recruits better than Saban and nobody trains and gets his guys ready to play better than Saban.... But as a gameday coach?? Hmmm, I am not sold. He is a very average at best gameday coach when the opposing team can put as many good athlete's on the field as Alabama.
Saban will put the game in his defense's hands everytime he gets a chance rather than stay agressive with what got you the lead.
AJ Mcarren is capable of playing well and leading Alabama to victory,but even if things go well early for him Saban will "cool" him off and try to "establish" the run That is his nature, it's in his blood.
I really think if Alabama gets an early lead it will because AJ Mcarren is hitting in the passing game. I don't think they are gonna run it down LSU throat. LSU will make AJ Mcarren beat them.

You're right Lyon. Miles played conservative last game. This time he hangs it all out there. He'll either live or die by the sword. He's a risk taker. Which could get them a win or loss! Tough call but I think I'm going with LSU ML. Miles has luck on his side.

The last time Alabama played LSU, they knew they would be facing two QBs. Thus, they prepared for both. As it turned out Miles ended up going almost exclusively with Jordan Jefferson, and he ultimately was the difference in the game. Even most LSU fans concede that LSU would not have won the game with Lee under center the entire game.
Most Alabama fans claim that the perimeter-heavy run attack surprised Alabama, and that they weren’t prepared for it. Many also argue that knowing they will have to deal with only Jefferson the second time around heavily favors Alabama. I disagree for the most part.
Almost this exact same defensive unit had faced Jefferson last season, so they knew what plays LSU runs with him in there, and they practiced against those plays. LSU just blocked the perimeter plays extremely well, and just out-executed Alabama. If anything it was Alabama who had the advantage the first time around because Jefferson was not operating with a full playbook at his disposal. The problem for Alabama is that they weren’t able to capitalize on this advantage because they were never able to seize a significant lead in the game. Had they been able to that, a very limited Jefferson would have been exposed. As it was, LSU was able to stay very conservative because they were never more than a field goal away from a tie or a win.
This time around LSU offensive coordinator Greg Studrawa will have the full Jordan Jefferson package installed. Jefferson is not a great passer, but he does have a huge arm so wherever he throws the ball, it’s likely to get there in a hurry. What makes Jordan such a threat is his running and athletic ability. This puts a ton of pressure on the defense to be assignment sound the entire game. If the defense makes a mistake, they will probably find LSU celebrating in the end zone.
For LSU to win this game Jordan Jefferson will have to be able to make some plays in the passing game, if for no other reason than to keep Alabama’s defense somewhat honest. And he may make some plays, but I don’t think he’ll be able to make enough of them to keep LSU in this game. Honestly I think the only way LSU finds the end zone in this game is either on a big offensive play, or some sort of non-offensive touchdown. Like the last game, I don’t think LSU’s offense will have any success in driving the length of the field and putting the ball in the end zone.
