When you live in Louisiana you are an LSU fan, unless you are me. I am an Alabama fan rooting for Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide.(Every LSU fan hates Saban because he left LSU for the NFL, then went back to college football at SEC rival Alabama) Even Les Miles refuses to Saban's name in press conferences. I don't know if this game will even be close or I am just feeding into the hype. As I predicted pre-season Alabama will make it to the National Championship and so far they haven't let me down. So here are some breakdowns of the game:
Quarterbacks:
Bama: John Parker Wilson has had a much better year than I expected and not only is the MVP of this team but is one hell of a leader. So far this year he has 1412 yards, 8 TDs and 4 Ints. Also his voice mail is full because LSU fans can be gay(they bombard the other teams QBs with phone calls).
LSU: Jarrett Lee has been terribly inconsistent and he is my least favorite QB in the country. So far this year he has throw for 1427 yards with 12 TDs and 10 Ints. If LSU has any shot at winning this game he needs to play mistake free.
Advantage: Bama
Runningbacks:
Bama: Glen Coffee not only has an awesome name, but he has been the rock for Bama this year. Coming into this year no one would have expected him to be this good. he has rushed for 894 yards with seven scores, while the change of pace back Mark Ingram has 533 yards on 97 carries and has eight TDs.
LSU: Charles Scott is one of my favorite RBs in the country and has been the workhorse for LSU all year. He has 889 yards and 11 TDs so far. If LSU wants to win this game he needs to be able to run freely, which will be tough against a stout Bama defense.
Advantage: Bama
Wide Recievers:
Bama: Julio Jones came into this year expected to be an outstanding freshman and hasn't let anyone down. Julio leads the team in receptions, yards and TDs and is only going to get better as the year progresses. If he has a big game, LSU will have a long day.
LSU: Brandon LaFell is also a hell of a wide reciever and a complete game breaker. This year he already has 6 TDs in 8 games. LaFell leads a very deep wide receiving core for LSU.
Advantage: LSU
Defense:
Bama: Bama's defense has survived with a ton of injuries on the defensive line and will have a big challenge stopping LSU's rushing attack. Other than that, they have a very strong and deep line backing corp as well as defensive backs. They are one of the toughest defenses in the country and will be hard to move the ball.
LSU: LSU also has an extremely talented defense, however their defensive line has been somewhat of a let down. If they have any chance they have to perform to their talent and stop the run, which will be no easy task.
Advantage: Bama
Prediction: Bama 32-21
