They’ve won the last two games against the Tigers overall, and three of the last four when played in Arkansas. I know that the people are not satisfied with the way it’s going.
ESPN will produce its “College GameDay” show live from LSU’s campus Saturday morning, adding to the heap of distractions surrounding what is always the biggest game on the schedule. Also, the NCAA did not start including postseason games in statistics until 2000, therefore bowl games played by Walker, Jackson and Sanders will not be included.
Here’s how to watch Alabama at LSU, and keys to victory for both teams.
But did Alabama really stack the box last season against LSU? All I can see is what has happened on the field, and his leadership has obviously had some effect on that. Wednesday after practice, coach Nick Saban announced that running backs B.J. Emmons and Bo Scarbrough missed practice.
-Senior CB Tre’Davious White has been the Tiger most effective at taking the ball away from opposing offenses and winning the turnover battle would greatly enhance LSU’s chances of beating Bama.
“We think we can get some receivers down the field, but we got to be able to protect (Etling) long enough to be able to protect the quarterback to get those plays down the field”, Orgeron said.
Karlac’s memo to Big Ed: Good luck with that! In 2016’s case, Bama has LSU, Miss State, UT Chattanooga, and Auburn to contend with over the next four weeks.
Minkah Fitzpatrick will pick off an Etling pass from his new safety position and return it for a score. “Leonard Fournette is probably one of the most dynamic running backs that has played college football for a while and is playing extremely well right now”. The Tide dominated Fournette last season in Bryant-Denny Stadium, holding him to 31 yards on 19 carries.
Ole Miss fell to a western division team once again, this time losing a home game to Auburn 40-29. “We don’t think it’s something that is real serious, but we’ll take it day-to-day”. The Tide will most likely see some stuff they have not seen on film early in the game.
The Bama interior line will pressure Etling so effectively that the Tigers will turn one dimensional.
When facing a defense that averages more than a touchdown per game, as well as an offense that ranks eighth in the country in scoring, keeping mistakes to a minimum is critical.
And the Alabama offense? He has also matched the touchdowns scored by both leading rusher Damien Harris and Howard. Most of the time over history, these two play late in the season.
The good news: Kyle Shurmer? “I don’t care how talented you are with the ball in your hand, if you don’t have that instinctive vision to make those cuts at the right time – relative to setting up the blocks, reading the blocks, running off the blocks – I don’t think you’re going to be very productive”.
Just look to the statistics of those past five games in the series.
That’s slowly improving for the Tigers.
And tailback Kamryn Pettway?
His career-high 284 yards vs.
And the under-appreciated Sean White? Hurts is fourth in the SEC in passing efficiency with a 142.7 rating.
Karlac says that Malzahn may as well visit Waffle House for breakfast on Saturday as he can carbo load before the 11 a.m. kick. With the rust knocked off against the Rebels and then a bye week to recover and prepare, Fournette should be raring to go Saturday night.
The weekend’s headline game might be the biggest in the SEC this season. Kelly, a dual-threat that is widely considered the best passer in the conference, had his worst game of the season against LSU, throwing for one touchdown and two interceptions while compiling a modest 274 total yards.
Oh, and do you want to know who will be voted in as president next Tuesday?
