Hey good -- good -- kick coverage is counting down to. LSU and Alabama -- Rouse is 70 on the Roenick got -- they've got serious about Chara grew Lawrence's burgers you name it they have a -- like come on out there doing the tailgating for -- mixed nuts is -- Everybody is having a good time they bring the family out here it's good atmosphere as well. Party goes on all night long it has been here -- And of course we will continue after the game tonight with the point after on WW only deal obviously it was also the team. -- debate that common right now as senior rhino and tiger -- that combo I was -- is he would describe always a pleasure to visit with you -- that you know. The first meeting between these two teams went down to the wire I think we're all expecting that but. I give me because -- no equation in house how the preparation being a toilet to get rid of this game Bryant.

Well I think it's. They have worked this is as lessons always it is teams get ready for both teams know they start off. Get back into shape after conditioning after being away from wall. And then. Did a lot of work just with themselves. LSU vs LSU. And then they start put in the game plan and they did most of that welcome back routes making millions onto itself I think it was. You know normal full preparation -- and not look I really think the players. Are you know they're ready to play. You know it's been so long that played eighteen -- There's been so much talk on on make you try to get out here play political party Bryant.

Since that meeting I don't know if you say even if you put.

Glamorous but what is better about of issues since that November 5 mean the risk of those being the SEC -- to -- living proof. I think the biggest thing is that you can't Jordan Jefferson who was more in two. You know playing shape -- when he played against Alabama. The most he played any team with the Tennessee game -- wanna say we got about 45%. Of the snaps at that if you recall the people went against -- he hardly played I think he had less than ten snaps in the game and stalled. So and -- he has been in no. You know he is. No more playing time in and I think that they won't use him more. Particularly in the passing game then they had done in the game at Tuscaloosa just because he need to hit more practice time.

They'll put that -- Bryant. If Phil if you shoot you know coach miles -- game plan guy if we beat them so cool and all that. But if they'll issue goes called more accurately and I -- even I would -- decent year if you can't competently build it makes plays. He's like any other number two quarterback -- up and look at the they only you know really no -- he's getting in there is at Georgia gets hurt yet eight you know Brian I think you approach to the -- which players do also. And I thought he Drew Brees about this you reflect on positive moments he dollars certain cities. You have like an outstanding team like it taillight Denver's Mile High Stadium. It did nothing but great to me. I had unbelievable games so I remember that. So human nature Jarrett Lee is probably reflected on we all remember at Tiger Stadium. He made a couple of passes -- in that game and hit to help the Tigers win. So why would he embrace it. And then have that it gets me every bank in -- I think it's gonna come about but but but but I think he will love. You don't remember that and reflect on that and that could do nothing but help them if he was called a point yeah.

You're probably right I spoke with -- Friday and I think he's you know he's accepted his role in the nineteen. Everybody wants to play. And but he knows it even -- obese is look up one play away from being the guy can't so he's not -- be ready to go and and that's just. And that's his viewpoint of the situation.

Now Brian you look at obviously it and I -- some Saints fans that they don't want here. Yeah I'll tell almost as good as Mark Ingram is for the Saints and you know being a Heisman Trophy winner number one -- tell you what on Sunday -- ridges and I think is good to beat. Above and beyond a better running back him marking him in the NFL and I think I'm trying to be objective look at English forward banana on the Saints. -- Chris Ivory or Pierre Thomas yet not a real good come about Olympic -- Richardson and I want your opinion on this. He -- he carried the ball 23 times today first match up. Five passes did he caught he was target three more times. -- 31 attempted touches. To me. In all the all the to court it is really going to Colorado State beat. Coach Saban being at Davidson coach who when they get to do that I'll I'll get the coaches and their decision making together. How in the world. Good trade Reyes had not touched the ball. -- Would you look at an LL SU's defense. And how great you are now I didn't know there's. Alabama's thirteen plays. That went for ten or more yards the last time around. Guess what pretty -- and had 70 vols were produced by him. Four runs and three receptions -- thirty of the thirty plays they ran deep and have a few territory he was only opponents six -- coaching tonight has like comments say it's are you -- they could -- this.

This is the thing about Richardson. He had 28 touches the last time yet if he gained a hundred and 69 yards. On seven of those plays and said yeah on the 18147. So that means on his other 21 touches -- 120 yards ELL yeah how. The most important -- would Richardson is this it's not. These yards it's the points keep him out the end you know -- don't keep him out don't letting him at 45 yard run. For a touchdown yeah you know he can get his. 25 or thirty and then make attack -- do not the end zone with them identical. -- line that his field position and that's where LA she's putting dean. Come to the plate where you'll grant Weaver when he hit the punt punts it back in Mobile, Alabama you gotta drive do you Wear it again I'd have to drive six.

We have 5060 yards and if Brian I would not be surprised. That -- even take this approach. Instead of media tipping that 4550. Yard field goal now you putter yet that comment that you -- pin them back. You -- well whatever you wanna call it somewhere around the ten yard line obviously you wanted to inside. But instead it Khalifa. Who played the percentages. That punt the ball instead of maybe going for that long -- a few go. Now it's a challenge -- NFL and I think the overall team have more talent he college football that's a long field goal you wanna talk about the Alabama -- It felt like chip shots. So like 2530 yards and look at the top fuel.

Not. I I think this is gonna happen tonight if Alabama has those 4344. Yard field posting on making it don't. Drew all of mine told me something very interesting he's a look at kickers are fraternity yes I felt Bailey for those guys for the mrs. He's Islamic faceoff in a night I'll watch all those kicks. The wind it was definitely a factor that night now he said I don't short so the wind is not an element in the fact. Like having to kick drilled environment in. With the wind at 4546. Yard field goal that was a lot tougher. 45 yards tonight no wind that's a lot easier.

listen any quarterback -- tell you. Am a minority being the great Drew Brees and tell you that elements dealing with the win. You know at that time you -- on a wet bulb go. That's a kicker. A punter a quarterback scores and it needs is dealing with the wind the great March Madness and I could -- mind you said you are no wonder reason why I had relatively success. Follows that don't kicker. Superdome and Georgia -- now he kicked it outside. But he told me you don't need to hold him like he's taking night dealing with the elements built in and you can really take you through. If you get it right you know where it's going.

No bad thing you know you can't really. I'm a senior right at tiger make that kind of frowns on his deal -- us so that we get a college.

We'll did not come on one -- to -- you thank you for calling WWL. Mean it happens great they got -- got a good thing to put it wouldn't work well ceremony done. You know -- do well. It got over the I wouldn't it did hit it it's pretty -- at the -- and I -- I was a kid and I can't. I hadn't been. All of whom the -- and then why don't advocate it and yeah he didn't. Know I don't think so much down me anyway. He's got -- play well but if you can't get out and you can't. But the problem helping you you can't quite put it the fact.

He had a lot of do you feel like that you played a big guy they got that adrenaline aren't going to mean you know what -- you don't you're reminded of how passionate you are on the -- my dad. And I told this story before grown up my dad would always tell me I hope the Saints win but LSU has the win. That that there was no -- there was no option dot. Let me take -- forty ideas spin and all these cable games and every get a told the story last night the -- Royals semester. I guess that's all about 11 o'clock last night we're doing a pregame the pregame and in -- forget. That as drove blue bonnet bowl okay. Is Tennessee vs LSU. 2470. Continents Holloway. And my dad. I'm pacing and nobody is another radio -- choose good or lose I'm telling these long. He knocked down the land and is going everywhere not house -- say what is going on here. In my dad's telling are not telling her you just don't understand. You know about LSU and and this game coming about the stock I can envision tonight how passionate you are. -- that -- and I -- wanna be around you because like you said you feel like you can put a helmet on and hit somebody.

He didn't and if they don't depends. Then I. And I don't change what has been it's keep out there. We've. Got to dig out there and I've been getting better and -- the and then. -- give good -- I'll admit that I'm completely blocking back.

Always a good as it was see when you get here. I cried out made him Brian you know it's these kind of thing going back employ Alabama with a slight -- You saw bird's eye view Tuscaloosa closest game was played. We think happens tonight. Well because first of all be just like every LSU Alabama games instances than -- vs less with five minutes left in the game either team from. Can win and whoever makes the plays in the last five minutes at teams that win the football game I think that LA -- you can do. A little bit more things differently this time the last time because it Jefferson. Because you know PJ lonergan was not a 100% and -- time. You know time for him that he was in a mid season slump. So I think that there are some ways -- here he wasn't a factor you know mediate and look get out and Alfred polluted meaning to carry the ball at night. So I think that you can see definitely see ways where LAQ is better. You know Alabama I don't know if there how much better they are they have the best player I mean Trent Richardson is the -- a variety of so it's gonna go down. LA -- you have to controlled Richardson don't let him have those nights where he has you know a touchdown or two LSU has to win special teams. Which I think they feel they should yeah racks and I think it will I think you know. There's going to be touchdowns scored counting it's going to be funny not your people -- 27 when he enough but I don't think you teens get into one he can't. So I'm gonna take LSU and a close and I think thirteen to ten.

Okay O'Brien O'Brien Grady or pregame post game I was breakdown -- pay -- thank you O'Brien that you look at a close game hard fought. And I think the honeymoon it is probably -- over but he definitely be over can you imagine less miles beating coach Saban. Three games in a row I mean come on. -- okay I think if you look at what that section in my decapitate. That statue they -- it got above Saban it is alum.

he took a hit you know if you look back at the first team. There's the one thing you know air by talk but the kicking game and Alabama on this in the field those commentary in other factor that first game. Which is -- Sign of coaching and coaching issue Alabama three times got penalized in nineteen frantic too many men in the huddle one of them in the overtime period which cost them five.

Don't it was almost like up and last season with coach -- and you'll see that didn't know Morry when LSU as far as like a delayed game to arm who's in the game was not. To me was coach study could great start. That has been unbelievable and Bryant these -- don't lie also Uga coach miles. 815 winning percentage will on everyone respects the SEC a record of 75 at seventeen. Trails only the great kid is the -- it New Zealand at 829. -- all time. Among SEC schools I think the stadiums they is -- stadium. And tonight give coach -- spread it. I mean at an end Bryan I want to come and also want and this. What LSU has been in films all the games you win this you have to save his speed does make it different I think we're talking about this last night. Play in the dome stadiums now especially in the superdome. The Tigers are thirteen it forward and have won -- no roll at the facility got to go back to 86. -- suitable to Nebraska third at fifteen. And the Tigers are 24. -- six overall it dome stadium. -- you beat Georgia Dome or not anyone who did the superdome that you look at Jerry's world Cowboys Stadium to know people Oregon. He gave him and it brought it up early the only time that there -- forum. Did that that was 72. Against Tennessee congress Holloway. If it down. If it has to a darn good player -- have -- there right at it as not even relevant. We take a look at this a pressure homes and the press and the pressure what LSU has been on the big stage in the BCS. There are no overall it BA BCS bowl games if you look all of the victories coming at the superdome. The Tigers won the BCS national championship we -- at. All 307. They also want to go to the Sugar Bowl included get started game 2007. -- the superdome is definitely Tigers stadium east. We Alabama fans don't wanna hear that but Ellis who has dominated in the Mercedes -- superdome.

I don't know I don't notice and Alabama fans don't want to hear that but Oliver how agreement that and I don't wanna you come from you've been. I think you let them know it's out it's got to -- Kodak all things yeah and they -- and -- right now I thought OK today I thought not a not -- on -- a lot of facts are going to. And welcome thank you down LSU and Alabama job as senior anti debate next time round so I just remember will be what is. As well but branded as it would to break you kind of breaking things down and you're telling us why you like LSU will look to continue their.

Well I I guess that I think Jefferson and we'll do a lot I think a lot of things tonight in the passing game time. And LSU can be good in this in special teams once again and I think the big question is is this defense going to shut down. Are controlled -- sit down controlled Trent Richardson I think that's the most important thing and it's. I'm more concerned with bridges and as the receivers and as a running back is he can make some big plays in the passing game will look at that the fans in overtime. On the wheel around. Know Ryan baker was right there and make a good we'll throw -- step -- was yeah -- snapped -- eight and -- it could have been a touchdown -- if the camera and -- better.

Runner up this -- indefinite limbo column was that does that you did you go -- soft five TC today's game things to look for local online at WW Jack comment Jeff. Frank kind of hit on -- talk about -- Jordan Jefferson and what he is done being a much more adequate will be talking about from a conference standpoint. Somewhere is when he started at that point in time he had been playing as much since then he's played a lot more snaps do you how do you go at stake.

Fine he's obviously get a vehicle hit an appeal court confident going into the game and they help him to be and I think they really -- like. Lose that confidence back and -- It wasn't really any. The only Eagles believe that there is a good -- got out of it I think they want to try to get Reuben Randle found that want to be -- it. Did -- that competitiveness and they. Seem -- get picked -- happen down the field I think what brought up here when you talk about that. I don't know I think you're different did it the better quarterback over -- being -- here. Probably don't know it's. -- really -- time it's. -- he had another big hero like he did it in the.

Championship game -- do. One difficulty that I'm a little be able to keep them up for the game but holed I've played well at -- happy. I'll put my blog like they did -- BC championship game to get back at Georgia I don't think they'll be able to do that it won't be able all the thought it. Did blow the doors off the that are gonna beat a good game from Georgia.

Now a jab speaking at a big game we brought -- you comment on this also got Brian -- gentle payroll mean they'll top relishing football looks as anyone. To me. It just seems like now goes to college and I assume -- Ellis who lost appear to speak. We're overall Jordan Jefferson. In bowl games are Garrett he is beat it if he has. The game now it's easier said than done to particularly with Alabama did it to not take to see them. But if you have a game like he had against seen him on she's winning by double digits I don't know that's gonna happen. But it just talk about elaborate how well it seems like in the movies ever prepare for their bowl game. But. George Jefferson has done.

well I would say and he. Definitely added that the -- game they had and we talked a little bit of -- require confidence. Only god daily you know why it -- the better -- get that big plays quick you look back at those. The performance -- repeat all appeared to go over the top goal line here it wasn't like it depleted it kind of have that. He almost who like being out. Good people and I performed brilliantly -- being quiet and at what they wanted to try to create the kind of big game here tonight.

Slowly be able to do it here they'll -- enough again UConn the number one back in the period that number in the future -- easier said that done. Did they can't -- can't play here. Proven over him well I'd be as good but this week Don Black beard has -- and Tiger Stadium alternate at one point. One point where route -- we handled it clear front and and at all or be stupid and down the sideline and tell it it gave. Burned the -- the football game with a big and I replied I think both people are gonna be what it would be -- whoever is really like a big happy planet. It's gonna feel really good about the mountain thing might open up for everything else they want to do up the.

If they were temple -- O'Connell was at WW dot com we've and that works forthright and also seem to ride -- the debate that time. Brian has always do with the guys want to have a -- Brian. You have a unique perspective and I hate you owned the Bulls pursued New Year's Day and I and you Brian we talked about a level playing field to what does it mean for programs. Who beat this late in -- get to people being seventy. 120. And they get those thirteen of fourteen extra practices and you look back and you tell me you -- because if you look at the way the defense is. And that he fits -- your -- thought of making strides in those bowl practices and through spring. And then add depth when a guy like Anthony Johnson used to that's a feat he won his defense is it all as good as they all right.

Bennie Logan was the guy who manned up big big east full practice time last year and you look look what kind of year he say -- my talks about Michael Crawford -- got the honors he's second team all SEC. Bennie Logan Airport tackles. You know so. Logan has really come owner and I know it was the work he got last December which is what got him on the path. And I think that you know that's the big thing is you have more practice time the first few days when they're coming back -- LHU -- zealots is they do a lot of work. With the young guys and get an opportunity to see who can break through and -- can help the team you know next year as far as that's concerned.

I would intelligent we could break covet so I'll let you guys because again on -- that it's. The attack and the department on a daily papers they -- rounds all I can't beat. Sports director of the weekend that worked in the -- we'll -- columnist that up because you let that happen. Tampa limo as good as a roundtable discussed it these guys thought on why -- think -- who had some success tonight. All the -- you look at why they think it -- shoot may not have the success in certain areas and we'll get their predictions. Counted down LSU and Alabama right here on tiger radio WWF. Welcome back visiting with cigarette anti debate back time and my Amazon and I'm just. Definitely have a column visit WW -- reasonable sports director. Augusta before it gets picks are short on time here I thought I'll put Brian for Brian because concern you have. --

Trent Richardson and you know have -- a big night you know and rushes for you know 150 yards and scores a couple touchdowns and you know breaks -- running scores. And I that's the biggest thing is. Ellis is not -- Winning a high scoring game redeeming get up in the points in like -- Alex he's got to keep up. Which is an under control enough you not think it will mean that they did that the first -- be the ability in the ninth -- same question to your biggest concern.

I thought Richardson and I hope -- factor Horton and after that there's an episode of a poor performance. It's going to be packed. Maybe -- there you know they've picked up like reporting. It over early. I didn't know the confidence that nothing -- you report I don't think they can come back and win like he did again they're at Georgia and Arkansas.

Now you know -- and Brian and I only got to come on this right quick you look at LSU's defense thought they were totally dominant and dominant. As far as being but don't break keep him -- the end zone. Forced her to kick field goals whatever when you look at Alabama the reached the thirty yard line. Not even the reds -- the night to extend their red zone the thirty yard line he ran a total of fourteen plays that -- Crimson Tide. That are inside the thirty yard line. And -- those fourteen path forward negative plays but that's not even the worst of it. He didn't run a single play eighteen more than one yard it's nice that 38 are you kidding me. No Brian. And -- yet yards a jedi I had to be shocked. We do look at that I -- Franco first that was the you know the defense is great that night you know they gave up some big plays whenever they got close. And -- they shut the door on. You have to red zone that kind of outside the red zone defense had its down all season -- fun.

So I think they trying to pick but you know I don't like to get another job. Receiver I had like he's gone I think they can take a little bit better but that's where I can I think they try to pick -- course at the end -- take -- Try to get the ball to the confidence at an elite. I buried beneath the other guys lined him up in the -- feels he can come home I can kill a few other places. He gave it didn't take any heat itself can dole and I. I didn't think they realize that once they get -- the -- they can't rely on parade the typical four and oh lead with the point.

I -- it would be like -- Joseph was saying when he brought -- Darius Hanks this illness -- you don't believe back where you grew up. It -- filled Georgia. Gary is -- and -- bubbles on the same twelve year old also our basketball. That you -- Norcross high school he probably did GC it's amazing. How your paths cross. As you continue throughout the play in this game three -- Derrius makes no. You don't -- a second receiver. Thank you because of inexperience you have to -- he'd be aware of him on that he could the other guy that maybe Alabama might. Tried focus on. Considering. That Ellis who think no one on -- he's not gonna win we're bettors it's -- he was gonna happen maybe you know. You can keep my radio -- if you look -- because it's right. We'll see how we get more time something like Davies to this story you they stand as my body and radio. -- you you got to give it already got a nice yes so we saved the political and I think. Okay big spear grip but that's what I want to keep them and I told that story was quarter to twelve last week at Atlanta but if they. Put colleague Jeff quickly. Your prediction on his game.

I like it would give -- the undefeated and and it had -- if I come on WW and I can't. Philadelphia forward you could beat you don't want to help him up there. Brad Richards could have beat -- game 150 yard front because -- was -- it. City Hall but they're awfully solid field but nobody -- 184 different running back they could be here. -- Reuben Randle who was. I blew -- bunch of them. We didn't hold -- Bryant picked up better -- that you can't overlook the fact of being horrible at it as an obvious and it's. Tiger your defeat all around her feet -- wanted to protect the football holds for Richardson -- I don't want it checked. Knowledge you have this game by it does not I don't. But it -- that the.

And Brian how do you see taken. Close game. Each team scored one touchdown LAQ thirteen 1013 fifteen into the guys -- on -- quick feet on. Honda which is apparently did -- I think about is he feels different. Feel those little kids LSU -- because he didn't play somebody is gonna take it personally don't quit your -- You can't he had done mechanical good the Tigers. It's definitely -- that they -- WW dot com senior I don't -- back.

It's WWW that type of -- have -- always a pleasant will respect a great job you do thank you so much of what he had to because. -- technique on -- Scarborough you lose live another.

Right here on WW.
