No rivalry between LSU and Alabama is storied ball bragging rights are not the only thing on the line in today's battle that -- wings the SEC west these -- And Tigers can come away with a win in Tuscaloosa not only take control in the division but don't also remain in the race for the national championship. Now if you look at the stats -- offense overpowered LSU and every category that -- have been sputtering lately though and head coach Nick Saban feels his team has benefited from the biweekly. And -- the rest gets his offense back on track.
We need to. Make more explosive plays in the passing game and utilize some skilled players that we have we got an absolute mess the last couple weeks and you know we were -- good job of that early in the season so. You don't need to have a good afternoon got back -- little field and you know you get your players you know chances to make plays and I think we need to do a better job.
On the other hand LSU has been starting to put the pieces together on offense. The running game finally got going last week line it was against Tulane appears tiger head coach -- miles.
I think curiously -- It's. In this town hall has an office team comes together to run fast. You know. I feel like Thursday and -- commitment to excellence there and then being out here -- for -- Portuguese cold. More than -- been so yeah I think offensively world. We're getting better.
An area I look for LSU to exploit is a mismatch in the tide secondary as quarterback Jordan Jefferson can get some time and the play action pass. Pats going wide receivers -- almost fell and Terence Tolbert. How world famous small defensive back. Also look for more snaps for sophomore Stephen -- The -- defense is no slouch still led by linebacker Rolando McClain the LSU offensive line -- Have to do a better job of protecting their quarterback as coach Saban will likely apply plenty of pressure.
Sports -- important news that we can continue to play well these from. Create enough positive down and distance. You know for defense so that we employee you know situational things that may be able to put -- Dolphins. Games where we've been able to do that weakness of rushing. Where we haven't been able to do have been behind and at them distance we have a -- superficial. Such you know sort of achieved with a girl I think your play every situation in the game and the game we're playing probably do more things and has of course you'll -- from like please. We're we're definitely don't have -- you don't play our best grove solution -- how we play good she's.
The last two games in Tuscaloosa -- being classic. In 2007. LSU led by two touchdowns early then trailed by a touchdown lane and and then score with a plus 26 left to beat Alabama 41 to 34 in 2005. The unbeaten Crimson Tide lost in overtime to the Tigers. Sixteen of their. Today should be another one for the ages it's going to be a close home but I look for LSU could take over after halftime that tiger -- always plays better in the second half and I think that'll be the difference in this game. Prediction LSU 23 Alabama ninety. And for all you less miles haters he just cash savings to take over a third place at LSU school history with 49 wins as head coach with last week's win over Tulane. Miles did in 61 games. -- didn't need 64 with the WWL game daybreak damn I'm Steve Geller.
