Gut feeling
LSU is always a tough out, and even in the 21-0 championship "mauling," our offense struggled, especially on 3rd down in LSU territory, kicking 5 field goals before scoring a late TD. But this LSU team is not as good as the ones we are used to seeing, while this Bama team seems like it might be. LSU is always up for Bama, but we will be up for them too. Mettenberger may cause some of us to dogcuss the secondary, but unless we gift wrap the game for them, which I believe is unlikely, we move on to 9-0, in a game that is close until the 4th quarter, when we add some insurance scores.
