Bama Will Lose If...
1) LSU can cause Bama to make the most mistakes.
In big, tense games, both teams usually seem to make a few errors. What makes the difference, however, is who can control the mistakes to a minimum and who can overcome the big mistakes that do occur.
The Crimson Tide has prided itself on being mistake-free most of the season. In the UGA game Bama was virtually penalty-free, while UGA committed a huge roughing the passer penalty early in the game that gave the Tide a first down and extended what would have been a stalled drive to open the game. Bama took advantage and never looked back.
On the contraire, Bama made the most mistakes of the season during the Kentucky game as they continually committed some uncharacteristic penalties. That game, largely due to those mistakes, kept Kentucky in the game and gave Bama their worst scare of the season so far, as they managed to escape with a three-point victory.
Bama has been bitten with the fumble bug lately as well, particularly with Glen Coffee. If that occurs, and LSU takes advantage, it could be deadly for the Tide.
