šŸˆ Alabama vs Louisiana State

Alabama at LSU

Our favorite team heads for the bayou country this week for a game that is typical of what big time college football is all about. I am not referring to the fan bases, though that is a lot of fun. . Rather, it is about two of the very best coaches, two of the most talented teams, well prepared, going against each other man to man to find out who is best. The Tigers have gone back to what everyone thought would be their strength when the season got underway: power running with a trio of talented backs (McGee, Hilliard and Fournette) behind a large and talented offensive line. Their defense is speedy and talented, but they have uncharacteristically been vulnerable to inside running. Miles has reverted to a very conservative, don't beat yourselves offense.

As I analyze this, I don't believe that LSU can beat us with their passing game. It will not be easy, but I think our defense can shut down their run and force them to the air, which definitely tilts the game our way. On offense, our balanced attack can run the ball well enough inside to give them a dilemma: do they double Cooper and hope they can contain the running game, or do they put a safety in the box to stop the run and hope that Cooper does not go off on them.

All these great athletes, and one of the best game day atmospheres in college football. I am pumped already.
