🏈 GAME THREAD Alabama visits LSU on Saturday night

[XXL TideFan]

@XXL TideFan, Much like BBQ, I've found sausage gravy is a bit indigenous. Is that the right word? Maybe.

I'd never even dreamed of, much less heard of, a mustard based BBQ until I moved to the Low Country. Now it's not uncommon to find four different styles within a miles' radius of each other.

I'm much prefer the gravy from The Waysider, or Rama Jama's for that matter, over his at The Hominy Grill. But, his has a great flavor that sets it apart. I've had that dish a half of a dozen times and have never been disappointed. Their Jalapeno Hushpuppies are really good.

I can honestly say that I didn't have any gravy during my time in and through the Carolinas. However, I got 4 different bbq sauces served at a hole in the wall in Havelock, NC in the early 80s.

and expect this chart to either change or play a huge factor:

It'd be interesting to see the stats on each of those QB's 3rd down percentage.

I'd bet neither one of them are close to even half of Tua's 3rd down production.

In other words, "Ain't none of them are Tua"

Good night Tua's off the charts.

Sarge, you were right--he's way up there on completion rate on third downs. Except for ta'amu, who's right there with him on 3rd down, 7-9 to go.

Of course, according to the lsu forums, the defenses we've played are trash.

Thanks for digging that up.

Even more impressive is the separation on 3rd-and-manageable (4-6) where Tua is 100%, and the best I saw from the others is in the ~60% range.

I hope we get Smitty back for this game.

Below data is all based on a Nick Saban led Alabama team @ Tiger Stadium, so I'm only looking back to 2008.

Ironically, this LSU squad is giving up 330 ypg (note, LSU still has 5 games left including a bowl game, so these numbers will change a bit with Arkansas, Rice, and TAMU remaining).

The averages in this game with, yikes!

Offensively LSU hasn't really improved over the years like Alabama has.

Under Saban, we're 3-0 in night games at Baton Rogue.

Speaking of stats @rocknthefreeworld

 

[planomateo]

Based on the above...how many yards does Alabama put up against this LSU team?

Against LSU, Alabama is averaging ~130 less than our yearly average, while LSU is ~50 less than their yearly average against Alabama

LSU has shuffled the offensive line alot this year. How will that play into things?

How will the lack of Devin White impact the game?

Can QB Joe Burrow have a career game?

• In Tiger Stadium, he's averaging 192 ypg.
• For the season, he's averaging 193 ypg.

Will RB Nick Brossette have a career game?

• In Tiger Stadium, he's averaging 81 ypg.
• For the season, he's averaging 87 ypg.

If Tua has time to throw from the pocket, it will go well.

 

[94 Grad]

Has he actually watched any film?

I'm guessing he's banking on the height of Tua being on the small side and if they can surround him with bodies he won't be able to see his WR ??
