    LSU wins by 7-10 points but with a few Bama mishaps we win convincingly. Ole Miss had them worn out midway 3rd and we'll do the same if not more.

    The key isn't stopping Cooper, he's too talented. The key is stopping the QB, although I expect Cooper to see some double teams. Keeping Sims uncomfortable and not letting him have all day to make a decision is the best shot to neutralize Cooper.

    We've certainly seen Chavis call more blitzes lately. It'd be nice if we did that early and rattled Sims' cage.

    Rouxleaux Do I get bonus points if I act like I care?

    Nothing like a crazy crowd, Saturday night in Death Valley to F with a young QB's head. They did it to Harris in warchicken land why can we do it to the head gump. I want a psychiatrist examining this kid half way through the 2nd quarter.

    When Bama loses, it's either because they turn it over 3 or 4 times or they get beaten with the pass. Unless Jennings has a dream game, we won't have an exceptional passing day. But anything could happen. If Bama loads the box and stops the run cold, we must throw, even if it means a quarterback change and potential interceptions. I do not count on just pounding away and wearing Bama out in the 4th like we have become accustomed. Cameron will have to take risks.

    The formula to win is to pass early and try to get a lead, then run some long slow drives and keep Sims and our defense off the field. Then the defense must force turnovers. No dropped interceptions, pick the ball out like a honey badger and get that field position because we have a better kicker.

    Well. It had been like 20 years from the last time Moo state beat us so, I'm not all keen on stats these days.

    :) LSU will grind the gumps down.

    A member over on RTB has a post that broke this down quite well.

    If this is the case you should avoid counting on "Death Valley, at night." :D

    The numbers say LSU is 45-4 in Saturday night home games under Les Miles. That's outstanding, but remember that two of those four losses came against Saban and Alabama. The Crimson Tide beat the Tigers and their mystique under the lights in 2008 and in 2012.

    @red55 The 2010 UA loss? Like you mentioned earlier there were two TO's in that game.
