Sports Illustrated: Four teams that can beat Alabama

That would be like saying Bama would beat aTm at home just because we beat them on the road. We had a plus 5 turnover margin on aTm...Bama had a negative 3. Likewise, we had a plus 3 turnover margin on Oregon, while Bama had negative 2 vs LSU, negative 1 vs Georgia, negative 3 vs aTm and just plus 1 vs ND. Without winning the turnover battle big like we did, Bama would have a much tougher time beating Oregon

 

They're just as good as we are. They would have beaten them mightily in their own way. We tend to rely on turnovers because of our offensive woes, and they just run it down their throats. Anything can happen, but in all likelihood, Bama rolls 'em.

 

Next time LSU meets the OU Sooners in Norman let me know.

 

@Smilodon The first time ND meets TCU in Texas, Georgia between the hedges and AMAB in BDS in the same season let me know.

 

Three teams in the SEC could and one or two may . Bama is not unbeatable , strong yes . The weakness in Bama is Nick

 

LSU uses small, quick LBs that match up well with Oregon. And, LSU went even smaller and quicker by using a 3-3-5 vs Manziel. Bama doesn't do small and quick like we do, that's why watching Oregon's small quick players vs Bama'a big monster-sized LBs would be so fascinating. Also, Bama doesn't adjust well to unorthodox offenses. When they played Georgia Southern (whoever) their triple option offense decimated Bama's D more than any other team they faced. It would likely be similar with Oregon's offense which is also based on the triple option (although in a very innovative way). Like LSU adjusted well to triple option GT and to Manziel, while Bama did not adjust well to triple option Ga Southern (whoever) and Manziel, Bama would likely struggle v Oregon

 

I don't know, I don't think Oregon's offense would do shit against a Bama D. You don't beat Bama by running sideline to sideline and throwing short passes. I thought that was evident by what took place in New Orleans.

 

LSU had Bama's defense on their heels for most of that game. I would suggest it's more about that type of offensive execution then Cam reinventing the wheel. He may want to give some thought to his 2 minute drill .
