It is crazy that we expect the Crimson Tide to win every game, but that is the standard they have set for themselves. This year, they may need to go undefeated to insure a BCS Championship bid. The last two seasons, the Crimson Tide did lose big games against Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M and LSU, but now they have Florida State, Baylor, and Ohio State all without a loss. The Tigers look to hand Alabama their first loss tonight.
For as good as Alabama has been, they have always had problems against LSU. At least in the regular season. When these two teams met in 2012 at the BCS Championship Bowl, Alabama destroyed LSU 21-0 to capture the glass trophy. Now, Alabama looks to get their third glass trophy in as many seasons. When these two teams meet in the regular season, however, their games have been decided by four points or less.
As tough as LSU will play Alabama, Roll Tide should not have a problem getting the victory tonight. They are playing in Tuscaloosa and understand how important this game is for the rest of their season. Alabama is ranked number one for a reason. They have one of the best head coaches, if not the best coach, leading the way and a defense that has really improved over the past few games. Quarterback AJ McCarron is having another great season and it just appears like they are destined to get back to the BCS Championship game. LSU vs. Alabama- who you takin?
