I don’t expect this game to be very close from the beginning. LSU’s defense is going to fold against an Alabama team that is hungry to prove that they are on the same level as Georgia. I think that we may see more than one quarterback play in this game for LSU.

Tennessee hit some deep shots on Alabama, and I would expect LSU to try and make some desperation plays in this one to get back into it. Palmer could find himself on the receiver end of a couple of chunk plays.

I will start off by saying I haven’t made an accurate prediction for this team since the Central Michigan game. However, I think this one is pretty cut and dry. LSU is absolutely struggling right now and the Alabama Crimson Tide are like sharks in the water, they can smell the blood. Not to mention they remember the postgame speech from Ed Orgeron after the last game in Tuscaloosa. This could get ugly.

X-Factor: BJ Ojulari
The offense is what it is for LSU. Max Johnson, Jack Bech, Ty Davis-Price, and insert other weapon’s name here. They will need to step up big time. For me, the defense needs to come up with some plays. That is why I am looking at edge defender BJ Ojulari. He needs to get into the backfield to disrupt the pocket and running back Brian Robinson Jr.
