As everyone knows this game is a very defensive game and will not have alot of scores. Having said this, the game relies heavily on field position. I believe both defenses will be stout seeing as Bama's secondary and linebacking corps are very solid and that our front seven is very aggressive. The key to this game is in the punting game, and with a breakout star like Skyler Green, i believe this will open up alot of opportunities with giving us great field position. With a lackluster line, it is really hard for me to see that Bama's punting team will be able to set up good enough coverage to contain Skyler. I see there is a big chance that he COULD score a touchdown off a punt return, not to mention us being aggresive enough to possible get a block. Field position in this game is key and i think this a big advantage for us. What does everyone else think?
I think that Bama doesn't have enough on the O line to protect Croyle. LSU might get one or two scores by their defense. Other than that, Bama's defense scares me. If they force Russell into making bad decisions, it could be a long game... Our defense will more likely force Croyle into tough situations. LSU 24 Bama 10
I don't think 'Bama will kick directly to Skyler. While I think you're dead on with your assessment of field position playing a big part in determining the outcome, I think 'Bama kicks away from Skyler but in doing so, they still give us decent field position.
