Will the Alabama Crimson Tide be able to hold those LSU Tigers and roll onto a 9-0 record? This game has everything on the line. Everything rides on this game for both teams. The SEC Championship, BCS National Championship, and revenge all ride on this game. Sweet revenge and payback is on the minds of the faithful LSU Tiger fans, as LSU fell short in overtime last year (27-21 OT) down in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  

Both teams come into this game with tremendous defenses. The LSU Tigers have allowed 12ppg (points per game) this season and the Crimson Tide have allowed only 11 ppg. Defense will be the primary key, which defense will give in. One can say Alabama should have the upper hand on offense as they have their star running back in Mark Ingram and star wide-receiver in Julio Jones. But, Julio Jones needs to get the ball if he wants to do any damage and that is not an easy task when facing the fierce Tiger defense. Both defenses are built similar with big overpowering defensive of lineman who are fast, and linebackers that hit so hard you would think Mike Tyson or George Foreman were playing.  Even the secondary is amazing on both teams, because we all know someone will make an amazing interception or play to give their team the momentum.

Lastly, we have the battle of coaches. Nick Saban, the head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide goes up against his former colleague Les Miles of LSU. Both coaches have won a National title at LSU. Both coaches have similar coaching styles. Both coaches love to roll the dice and gamble. If you were to gamble this weekend, who would you bet on? Les Miles and the LSU Tigers or Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide? Will Alabama be singing “Sweet Home Alabama” or will LSU fans be singing “Hold That Tiger” and grab a hold of a bid to the SEC Championship game in Atlanta, Georgia.

ALABAMA vs. LSU 3:30 pm ET this Saturday BE THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
