Best GameDay signs: Week 10

If someone will get the best of that matchup in Florida’s homecoming game Saturday, Hargreaves would be the better bet.

-Alabama will start the second quarter with the ball on LSU’s 29-yard line.

Power versus power. Strength against strength. The Seminoles went on to win the national title that year. “We look forward to playing Alabama”.

However, it’s unlikely either unit dominates the other. Now, here we are on the eve of the game, and that’s exactly the position we are in. But it probably won’t. Their remaining schedules play a much larger role in setting futures odds. LSU came up with key stops to prevent them from scoring. Those are solidly mediocre numbers. Alabama let the nation know they are still one of the big fish in the pond after a 38-10 smack down in Athens. After its first drive, LSU has negative-2 yards. Which will mean taking advantage of shared defensive weaknesses between LSU and Alabama: their secondaries. A lovely JK Scott punt pushes LSU back to its 10-yard line. However, the underlying numbers aren’t almost as strong. This is what originally caused me to lean toward LSU receiving 6.5 points, but not the only thing. “If you’ve got run support and they block, you do run support”.

Putting aside disaster and doomsday scenarios for the SEC for now, there is business to attend to in Tuscaloosa. The Tide were ranked No. 4 in the first playoff poll despite having lost to No. 18 Ole Miss, which lost to No. 10 Florida. Their team Rating is 133.11, also 7 in the SEC.

-Alabama tried for a long throw, but Coker overthrew Calvin Ridley fighting one-on-one coverage. Alabama’s Jacob Coker has tossed seven interceptions, which is why Saban prefers to run and play tough run defense. So far, they have not delivered. Fournette has rushed for over 150 yards in every game this season and if he does that in this game, the Tide will most likely be picking up their second loss of the season.

Saturday’s LSU-Alabama game will decide more than the SEC West and potential playoff berths. “Alabama is another team in the way, and not to mention they’re a great team”.

Hes completed 63 percent of his passes over the past three games with seven of his nine touchdowns. Again, they scored, this time an overtime-forcing field goal.

That’s two successful two-minute drills by Alabama in the past three years to grab victory from the jaws of defeat.

“While Henry is a name most college football fans know by now, the run Fournette is on this season has elevated his appeal and goes beyond that of the sport’s usual threshold”, says Alex Scarborough of ESPN. He is averaging over 130 yards a game rushing and has accounted for 14 of the Tide’s 17 rushing touchdowns.

With all that said, this game is going to come down to the quarterbacks. They’re on the road facing a Washington team with a very rugged defense. That’s a high task to ask of this unit.

Katrina never broke us…it made us savages. The passing game was a nice auxiliary piece in the offense, not the ingredient that won the games.

For Leonard Fournette, though, it is a little different. So, I think thats what Brandons doing.

LSU: QB Brandon Harris. No, this game needs to be Kendall Beckwith’s masterpiece. This game features two of the top Big 12 teams going at it which means one thing: fireworks. Beckwith was just named a Butkus semifinalist, along with Debo Jones. He struggled at times this year, but is still an elite left tackle with a chance to earn all-conference honors.
