#2 Alabama Crimson Tide (11-1)

Key Players

QB AJ McCarron

RB Trent Richardson

WR Marquis Maze

LB Courtney Upshaw

SS Mark Barron

Coach: Nick Saban

Pass Game: EVEN

Personally feel the most polished QB in this game is the player that will be playing the least, Lee. Jefferson came in during the Bama game and turned the tide of the game. He was the X-Factor that helped LSU win the game. AJ McCarron won't be asked to do much but he is underrated when it comes to passing. LSU's receivers are a tad better but McCarron has some targets to throw to, even Richardson out of the backfield.

Run Game: BAMA

LSU has plenty of RBs to throw at you, Hilliard, Ford, Ware and Blue but Bama has the best. Richardson was a beat in the previous meeting, this time just needs to get into the end zone. Slight edge to Bama but LSU will have the advantage in depth. Don't count out Lacy either.

Defense: EVEN

Two different types of defenses. LSU is more opportunistic, faster, and more athletic. Bama is hard nosed and more power oriented. LSU specializes in the secondary while Bama's strength is up front.

Special Teams: LSU

Many would argue that Bama's special teams lost the game for them last time. I would agree to a certain extent but those FGs weren't gimmes. Some I wondered if Saban should have punted and played for field position. LSU's real advantage comes in punter Brand Wing, where returns are a rarity. Also, you have to like LSU's return game better in Mathieu. Maze is no slouch either though.

Coaching: LSU

Not saying Miles is a better coach. Just think his quirkiness and ability to coach in big games will be an edge for LSU. Saban is still a great coach but with Miles, you always have to be on your toes.

*For the non-CFB fans there is at least plenty of NFL prospects to watch. Many of whom will be on the Panther's radar.

I'd almost guarantee one of the players on the field tonight are a Carolina Panther in four months.

A defensive needy team watching two great defensive college teams.

Hard for me to pick who I want to win. Since I live in both of these team's territories, I have no desire to hear from their obnoxious fanbases.

Where's the option for Who Cares, Why Do I Want To Watch An SEC Rematch?

lol

It's like someone sneaks into your home and shits in your cereal every morning and then forces you to come to the huddle and open/comment in threads you apparently hate.

I'm not even watching. I'm tired of the over saturation of the SEC. The SEC was not that good this year and I just have to listen to another year of how the SEC has won titles in blah blah blah years.

It is easy to win a lot of NCs when you are guaranteed at least one team in every year no matter how many games they lose, or whether they even play in a conference championship game or not, and then they usually get to play against a pooty Big 10 team that was just good enough to beat a bunch of sh*tty teams in that weak ass conference.

Who would you have them play? maybe the Pac champ Oregon? lol

maybe Poke State? after watching the Fiesta it became evident to me that they would have been bitch smacked by either LSU or Bama (and I wanted them to be given the chance until that game)

So they beat the middle tier teams of the ACC (Virginia and Wake), enjoy the benefits of being tied in with the pooty Big 10 (Nebraska and Ohio State), and beat an overrated KSU team that only beat one quality team this season (Baylor) barely.

Yeah well when you mostly play ACC, Big East, and Big Ten schools your bowl record will be pretty awesome.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By AU-panther · Posted

      Say you don't understand PFF without saying you don't understand PFF... Every week seems like some of the same people are complaining about something they clearly don't understand.  I'm not saying they are the end all resource out there but once you understand their methodology you can start to appreciate some of their work. For example, their grading system isn't a high school grading system, try to look at some of it in relative terms.  Rico had an 82 rushing grade, that's pretty good.  I would be curious to know how that compares to every other running back this past weekend. Also, I think he had a few penalties, which if I'm not mistaken are graded pretty harshly.

      Can we go back to square one for a minute and remember what we paid for this guy and how he was sold?  He was like, the anti excuse. Makes everybody better, Did we get that?  I think the answer is still coming but so far you might can say that for a game or two.  Cam had issues with personnel every season almost. Horrible OL, but he had receivers. Decent to good OL no receivers. Etc. Bryce needs to stand up, or keep standing up, however you want to put it. It is big boy time in year 3. He doesn’t have to make the playoffs but there is a standard. We’ll see what happens.  But the excuses are just fuging tired.  ps, I mean let’s not crown him when he has franchise record production in two wins,.. let’s see when they stop that, how he does then.

      Where do you draw line top3 or top 5 money then? I wish he goes for a "hometown" deal and doesn't try and reset market but it's going to be tough to argue not paying him BIG MONEY if he continues do be a stabilizing force on the left side of line. DM got some tough decisions to make at the OT position coming up.
