Alabama vs LSU Game Preview

Why Alabama Will Win

That’s how you bounce back.

Alabama was a little big sluggish – to be nice about it – in a clunker of a 93-69 loss at Oklahoma, and followed it up with a 101-44 win over Vanderbilt the offense clicking perfectly.

What was the biggest difference? The Oklahoma offense hit everything – including from the outside – but Alabama is normally a killer at stopping teams from hitting the three.

LSU is on a nine game losing streak, partially because it has gone dead cold from three, but …

Why LSU Will Win

Let’s just say the Tigers are due.

No, they haven’t been great from three, but it’s the defense that’s having the biggest problem. It’s not stopping anyone, and it’s not going to slow down the Alabama attack. However, LSU is good when it’s able to manufacture ways to score.

It’s 8-1 when scoring 72 points or more and 12-4 when scoring more than 59 points. Alabama might be able to rock on D, but it only allowed fewer than 60 points five times.

However …

What’s Going To Happen

To beat Alabama you have to get to 82 points – Alabama is 17-0 when it allows fewer – and LSU doesn’t have the firepower to make that happen.

It’s been way too much of a struggle for the Tigers. They’re going to try to slow this down, but they won’t be able to hit from the outside consistently enough to make something happen against a Bama team that will go on one big run to put this well out of reach.

Cheez-It Citrus Bowl What Happened

LSU totally dominated from the start. It scored the first 49 points with Jayden Daniels finding Mason Taylor for a 32-yard score, Garrett Nussmeier threw two touchdown passes, and with Noah Cain running for two nine-yard scores as part of the barrage. Malik Nabers caught a 75-yard touchdown pass from Nussmeier, and threw a short scoring pass to Daniels on a trick play. LSU did whatever it wanted.

The Purdue offense didn’t do much of anything until late – it had fewer than 40 yards of total O in the middle of the third quarter. The attack moved a bit in the fourth and finally scored on a TJ Sheffield 16-yard grab, but that was it for the fun. There was a chance to score in the final minute, but LSU’s Quad Wilson took a pick the length of the field to close out the win.

Four different Boilermakers threw a pass. They were depleted of normal starters, talent, and their head coach, but they were outgained 594 yards to 263. And again, most of Purdue’s yards came late.

Cheez-It Citrus Bowl Player of the Game

Jayden Daniels, QB LSU
He completed 12-of-17 passes for 139 yards and a score, ran six times for a team-high 67 yards, and he caught a five-yard touchdown pass.

Cheez-It Citrus Bowl Fun Stats

– LSU was 7-of-12 on third downs and 2-of-3 on fourth downs. Purdue was 4-of-18 on third downs and 3-of-7 on fourth downs.

– LSU WR Malik Nabers caught nine passes for 163 yards and a score, and he completed both of his passes for 50 yards and a score.

– The four Purdue quarterbacks completed 19-of-42 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown with three picks.

Cheez-It Citrus Bowl What It All Means

LSU closed out a terrific first season under Brian Kelly with a tenth win – the program’s first double-digit winning campaign since the national title run in 2019.

Coming off the 11-12 run since the CFP championship, and after the loss to Florida State to start the season, LSU still beat Alabama, got to the SEC Championship, and showed the potential to take a giant leap forward now that Kelly and staff have settled in.

Last year’s Texas Bowl might have been missing – way too many starters were missing in the loss – and now it won four of its last five bowls and six of its last eight and since 2000, 15-7.

Purdue was obviously a shell of its 2022 self. The program is in a reboot after losing head coach Jeff Brohm to Louisville and with Ryan Walters set to take over, and it looked like it. It was missing way too many starters and key parts to deal with a team as deep and talented as LSU. It couldn’t do anything until the competitive aspect was long, long over.

Even with this loss, it was the first time the program came up with back-to-back winning seasons since 2006 and 2007. In bowls, Purdue is 4-3 in 2007.

LSU vs Purdue Cheez-It Citrus Bowl 5 Things To Know

Cheez-It Citrus Bowl Prediction, What’s Going To Happen, History

For the second straight bowl game, LSU is playing a bunch of guys wearing the uniforms, but the main men are done. The team will hardly be a proper representation of the 2022 self.

It was a great first season under Brian Kelly with a win over Alabama and a trip to the SEC Championship, but if it seems like just about everyone has opted out, or is injured, or both, it’s because that’s the deal. From WR Kayshon Boutte, to dangerous pass rusher BJ Ojulari, to … this could go on for a while.

Purdue is playing a bunch of guys wearing the uniforms, but plenty of the main men are done, including the head coach. Jeff Brohm made a lateral move to Louisville, but another Brohm – brother Brian – will coach in the bowl while new head coach Ryan Walters waits in the wings. The coaching, though, isn’t the issue.

QB Aidan O’Connell is out, so is top TE Payne Durham, so is star WR Charlies Jones, so is … this could go on for a while.

Purdue has been okay in bowl games, but it’s usually the team that has the full complement of players. Last year it won a Music City Bowl thriller over Tennessee, and was 2-1 in bowls under Brohm and 4-2 going back to 2007.

LSU has been wonderful in bowl games over the years. Again, last year’s team was a shadow of its normal self in a sad Texas Bowl loss to Kansas State, but before that it won three straight before that – two of them in the College Football Playoff including the national title. Before last year it was 5-1 since 2014 and 17-7 since 1989.

The Citrus Bowl hasn’t been too bad lately, but ie’s on a bit of a rough run over the last decade. Last year’s 20-17 Kentucky win over Iowa was interesting, even if there weren’t a ton of fireworks. Three of the last five have been close, but nine of the last 13 were decided by double-digits.

CFN Experts Picks: Jan 2 Bowls

Why Purdue Will Win The Cheez-It Citrus Bowl

The passing game should still work.

Aidan O’Connell might be out, but Austin Burton is a big passer who’s just seasoned enough to be okay. He stepped in against Florida Atlantic and hit 72% of his passes for 166 yards and three scores, but he hasn’t done anything since with O’Connell leading the way to the Big Ten Championship.

The midrange passing game might not be quite as sharp, but it’ll keep things moving, the offensive line should be able to hold up, and for a team that throws like Purdue does, the running game is every bit as important.

The Boilermakers are 6-0 when running for more than 111 yards, and 2-5 when they don’t. The backs are still in place to mix things up a bit.

LSU is 0-3 when allowing more than 210 rushing yards and 9-1 when it gives up fewer. Purdue has to at least give it a try with 35 carries or so.

But …

Top 100 Bowl Players | Ranking Bowl Games So Far

Why LSU Will Win The Cheez-It Citrus Bowl

Jayden Daniels is supposed to give it a go.

The LSU quarterback is dinged up, but he’s coming back for the 2023 season and he should be able to play in this. In a game that’s missing a whole lot of key parts, having Daniels as a steadying factor might make all of the difference.

When the offense is moving, it’s great on third downs, there’s enough of a running game to balance things out, and when Daniels is in a groove, the passing attack can go off. It was in comeback/keep up mode, but the offense threw for over 500 yards against Georgia in the SEC Championship.

Oddly enough, Purdue wins when it gives up a ton of passing yards – it’s 6-2 when allowing 200 yards or more. It’s more about its own offense, and that’s where the LSU defense has to kick in.

As long as the defensive front can hold up against the run, and if the offensive line can give Daniels time …

Why LSU Will Win

The pressure is totally off.

That’s not necessarily a good thing – whiffing against Texas A&M in a 38-23 loss last week kept LSU from being able to make a case for the College Football Playoff with a win in the SEC Championship – but now the team can turn it loose.

This is WAY ahead of where things were supposed to be under Brian Kelly.

The first year was supposed to be good, but Alabama was supposed to be in Atlanta this Saturday. If it wasn’t Alabama, it was going to be Texas A&M. If it wasn’t A&M, if might have been Ole Miss. It certainly wasn’t supposed to be LSU coming off a dud of a 6-7 2021 and in need of a slight rebuild.

The team is playing with house money. There might not be a national championship this season, but an SEC Championship? That would be massive.

On the flip side, the pressure is off Georgia, too.

It can say it really wants to win this, but it’s in the College Football Playoff no matter what. If LSU brings the intensity, this could be more than just interesting.

Do pull this off, though, the running game has to continue to work. It’s averaging five yards per carry, and it at least has to come close. Georgia hasn’t allowed five yards per pop yet this year, but Missouri hung around averaging 4.9, Oregon ran well even though it got destroyed. Just about everyone else who couldn’t run got blasted.

That means QB Jayden Daniels has to be on the move from the start, the offense has to convert on third downs – it’s second-best in the conference at that – and it has to keep the clock moving. Georgia can strike quickly, but the more LSU can grind this out, the better.

The O should be efficient, Daniels is accurate, and …

College Football Playoff Final Top 25 Prediction
What it means for CFP: Utah beats USC for Pac-12 title

Why Georgia Will Win

You don’t think Stetson Bennett and that crew wants this?

The 2021 Georgia team was epic. It broke through and gave the school its first national championship since 1980.

It wasn’t the SEC Champion.

The 2021 Dawgs lost to Alabama 41-24 last year, and that means the 2022 version loaded with a whole slew of new starters and parts doesn’t get that. This is this team’s chance to put a stamp on its own legacy. Of course, it needs to win the national title to make this season a true success, but around that program, yeah, this matters.

Georgia has to strike fast. This isn’t exactly one of those teams that needs momentum to win, but when it gets rolling early, forget it.

LSU is hardly bad in the first quarters of games, but defensively the first is the worst allowing 71 points – it scored 74, by the way.

Georgia has outscored its opponents 101 to 16 in the first quarter and 244 to 60 in the first half.

LSU has the pop to come back and make this a battle even if it gets down, but that’s a big ask. Georgia is No. 1 in the SEC and fifth in the nation in third down conversions, No. 1 in the SEC and third overall in third down stops, and No. 1 in the SEC and seventh overall in time of possession.

Get up fast, take the air out of ball with the running game and effective drives. That starts with the lines, and it continues with Bennett who should be able to hit the third down throws against this secondary without a problem.

There won’t be any reason to take any big chances.

Championship Week Schedule, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

Yes, LSU beat Alabama. Alabama isn’t playing defense like Georgia is. No one is playing defense like Georgia is.

It’s going to start with the nation’s second-best run defense – James Madison is No. 1, by the way. LSU is 0-2 – going to Florida State and Tennessee – when it failed to get to 140 rushing yards, and so far this year only Oregon was able to run on the Dawgs for 140 and they lost 49-3.

Daniels really is that good, and he’s going to have to get hot right away, but he can only run so much.

LSU won’t get steamrolled, but Georgia will score early and keep it all steadily going. There will be a few big plays, but it’ll be a methodical SEC Championship win.

Get comfortable. Georgia will be back in Mercedes-Benz Stadium on December 31st for the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl and the first round of the College Football Playoff.

How To Watch: ESPN2
Record: LSU (8-2), UAB (5-5)
Sign up and live stream college football on ESPN+

Why UAB Will Win

UAB has enough good parts to be really, really annoying.

The offense has the nation’s leading rusher – DeWayne McBride has rushed for 120 yards or more in every game with 17 touchdowns – and holds on to the ball for a long, long time.

This is a deliberate attack that’s great on third downs – McBride has a lot to do with that – the defense is the best in Conference USA, and the secondary makes enough plays to make LSU work.

The SEC West champ has bigger things on the brain.

It has a date with Texas A&M next week before dealing with Georgia in the SEC Championship. There’s even a shot at the College Football Playoff if everything goes right.

It might not be fully focused on this, but …

Bowl Projections

Why LSU Will Win

This is the first time all year UAB will face a Power Five program, but there’s a bigger issue.

UAB has to play on the road.

This has been a dominant team inside Protective Stadium. The offense turned it over just four times in the six home games, the defense has been a takeaway machine, and the team plays at a whole other level going 5-1.

On the road the Blazers are 0-4, the D only has three takeaways, the offense turned it over ten times, and the passing game has been an inconsistent dud.

That’s before having to deal with Death Valley at night.

Obviously being on the road matters, but in this it’ll be about trying to hold up against an LSU offense that’s going to try working the kinks back out – yes, this late in the season – after struggling so much against Arkansas.

The passing game has to get going again, the two turnovers weren’t good, and the production needs to be there after the rocky win.

Schedules, Predictions CollegeNFL

What’s Going To Happen

UAB isn’t just a paycheck game, but LSU is paying for the tune-up.

It really is freakish just how much better UAB plays at home, but it’ll be plucky enough to make the Tigers work a little bit.

Yeah, it’s 0-4 on the road, but no one – including the Liberty team that just beat Arkansas or the WKU team with one of the nation’s best passing games – has been able to win easily.

LSU won’t be any real danger, but it”ll have to pick up the energy in the third quarter to get comfortable.
