I wish I could be more optimistic, but I don’t give LSU much of a chance this weekend against Alabama. I expect a close game, but ultimately a Tide victory.
Do you trust Jefferson to protect the ball?
Do you think Jefferson will generate any points on his drives?
Do you think Les Miles and staff will make better adjustments than Saban and his staff at halftime?
Raise your hand if just answered “NO” to all the questions above. I have ZERO faith in Jefferson. LSU's offensive staff has struggled all season and Alabama is not the type of team to get things turned around against.
LSU can win this game, but they must do the following:
*Generate at least 10 points from the defense and special teams, be it long returns or a defensive score.
*Win the turnover battle.
*Jarrett Lee needs to duplicate his game at Florida.
*Defense must bounce back to regular form.
Les Miles is 4-5 in November over the last two seasons. Despite the strong 7-1 start, Miles needs to make sure this season doesn’t unravel. The last two years, the Tigers have noticeably slump after getting knocked out of the SEC West race. This is not a must win for Miles, but knocking off Saban and ending Bama’s National Title hopes would be an enormous boost for “The Hat.” Miles is 14-1 after a loss in his time at LSU, make it 15-1 and the LSU faithful will be all smiles, for one week at least.

ZERO faith...
At least its not negative faith.
LSU can win, it just needs to play a team other than Bama.
