LSU has two stud rb's but I cannot remember the last time a Bama defense has lost to a team whose RB or RB's were the reason for the loss. It's normally been because the opposing team's quarterback has played out of his mind. I've watched Etling and nothing against the kid personally, but he's not the type of quarterback that traditionally gives Alabama trouble. He's not mobile, isn't an elite passer and doesn't have a canon arm. So in my opinion it is going to take LSU's running game to beat Alabama's defense.
From an offensive perspective, I think we just keep doing what we've done. With Hurts' ability to run the ball it is next to impossible to get a bead on where the ball is going. It is also next to impossible to stack the box without exposing your defense to a huge risk of getting burnt around the ends.
LSU will come out and play their tails off. But If we don't get a case of the turnover's (i.e. Ole Miss game 2014). I think we should leave Red Stick with a win.
