Big Week for the Crimson Tide...
LSU offers the defense some real problems...

| Odell Beckham is a great receiver |
I think two things are pretty straight forward and obvious for the Tide this week. Has Alabama found some answers at the defensive corners, and can the Tide's never ending rotation of corners stop the best pair of wide outs in the SEC? If the answer is yes to each of those questions the Tide may post a convincing win over LSU. If not, we have a dog fight. Alabama will have to outscore the Les Miles and his well balanced offense. But Beckham is the catalyst that drives the wideouts at LSU. He has no weaknesses. He is fearless, he has a pair of hands that the great Houdini would appreciate. Along with cohort, Jarvis Landry, the pair is probably the best duo in the SEC and perhaps the nation. They have it all to strike fear in the hearts of defenses. Alabama is not an exception...
LSU has a balanced offensive attack...

| Hill is a downhill runner... |
Zach Mettenberger has become on the best quarterbacks in the SEC thanks to gifted receivers and a punishing running game. Jeremy Hill is one of the better running backs in the SEC and can run, over, and through defenders. Like A.J.McCarron, Mettenberger, finds a lot of wide open receivers because of the punishing runners. For once this is a game that might be decided by the offenses who would need to score a lot of points. If Alabama can find a great scheme against a talented LSU offense I'll feel better about an 11 point spread. That's the biggest line I can remember in a long time. It seems to me that if Alabama can get some unexpected good play from the cornerbacks the Tide should win this game. Nothing is ever easy against LSU. I don't expect this weekend to be any different. The Tide should win. Should is not the same as will.
