🏈 Off vs. Def Position Breakdown

[jangalang]

LSU Kicking to bama returning - Bama has a nice returner but lsu has TOO much speed for a big return. Push

LSU punting to Arenas - LSu still TOO much speed. Push

Explain yourself here: Alabama-Punt Returns (280 yards, 16.5 avg) vs. LSU-Punt Returns (84 yards, 6.5 avg)...You cannot tell us with a straight face that you can stop Javier Arenas and your return game is better than ours.

I did not say our return game is better. I said that our kick and punt coverage with your return game is a push.

So how is the #1 punt return team in the SEC going to be stopped by the #4 punt coverage team in the SEC? That is not a push. BTW, who doesn't have team speed in the SEC? It's all about coverage.

Basically you have not had good cover teams because of your weak schedule. We have had a much tougher schedule playing 5 ranked teams as opposed to your 2.

I think a lot of bama's stats are inflated because of this

Well, rather than getting defensive and talking about how we faced 3 teams that were ranked at the time (Arkansas, Georgia, UT) not 2 AND the combined record of Bama's opp. are 34-32, compared to LSU's opp. being 38-29 (3.5 game difference), I'll just chill out.

Ranked at the time means nothing because preseason rankings are bogus. Arkansas is not a very good team.

Arkansas is not a very good team.

And Kentucky is?...Honestly, I hate the rankings in general and don't think they should be released until the 5th or 6th week of the season...because even if LSU were to somehow lose to Bama this weekend, they'd still be ranked ahead of us simply because you were ranked so high in the preseason.

and our resume would still be more impressive with wins over V Tech, South Carolina, Florida and Auburn

Va Tech = 2 losses, USC = 3 losses, UF = 3 losses, Barn = 3 losses
