Can LSU’s Defense Silence Alabama’s Offense in a Showdown That Could Change Everything?
Alabama was a bit of a concern for some folks to start the year. They dropped their season opener to Florida State in a loss that looks worse and worse by the week. However, that is the lone blemish on their record. The Crimson Tide dropped that opener by 14 points, so it wasn’t even like it was close. They did go through a gauntlet of good teams, facing Georgia on the road and winning, Vanderbilt at home and taking them down by 16, Missouri on the road by three, and hosting and defeating Tennessee by 17. There have certainly been some close calls, and some questionable decisions for the team, but they are in the driver’s seat for the remainder of the year if they can win out. They have a very winnable remaining schedule with three games at home and the lone remaining road game at Auburn. The big thing to me is that the Alabama run game is doing very little. Their offense just doesn’t look very explosive. They’ve had just one game with a rusher gaining over 100 yards, and only two games with receivers over 100 yards.Â
