LSU's starting center is out and the backup center is hurting. He was an emergency only player last week and had to come in when Lonergan went down. Hebert, the back-up center/starting guard, has played great this year until so far in this game. I've seen numerous plays where he's been driven back up to five yards. Not sure what LSU can do about it, but it's hard to have a run game when your center is getting driven into the backfield every play.
I also agree, LSU looks pretty flat this game. They are a better second half team though, so i hope, even if the first half is close, they can pull away in the second half. I have no doubt bama is going to drill ole miss, and, even though we play 11/5(can't wait for that game, it's going to be epic), I'd like to see us keep with bama in the voter's perception.
Here's to both Bama and LSU having injury free games today...
As an aside and really irrelevant, i've sporadically read this bored for many, many years and finally decided to register. I just enjoy good football talk, and will prolly stay away from controversial stuff as I know it's easy for an opposing fan to come off as a troll. I usually enjoy following an outside thread for LSU's game so i don't get the homer's view piont, and have been doing that for wheover we play and here this season since y'all generally create one.
P.S. Touchdown LSU!
