No.9 LSU Tigers could win and take control of the SEC West, well this is a nice dream but a little hard to accomplish, they are playing one of the best teams in the country and that is always hard, and they play them on the road, that’s even harder, and this game could mean the second spot and the chance to go to the BCS championship for alabama then it sounds almost impossible. “Since I’ve been here, this team enjoys playing big games,” Miles said. “It only counts one, but it’s a very important one. We always want to honor our best opponent with our best effort. Every time we play Alabama, home or on the road, we realize that it’s going to be a very competitive game. It matches two of the best college football programs in the country. By what Coach Miles stated he is not really scare and he will try to take the Tide by surprise, may be he knows something we do not. QB Jordan Jefferson only defeat this season was against No.1 Florida and so far he has been in control, 11 tds and only 4 interceptions this season sounds just right but 23 sacks is a joke, the offensive line should be able to block better for the QB otherwise it will be just impossible to beat the Tide. The Running game in the legs of RB Charles Scott, he has been able to score important tds and he could be the key for LSU offense. WR Terrance Toliver and WR Brandon LaFell will be in charge of catching the ball, this will be a strong point but they need to hold Alabama with a defensive strategy like no other, that is the real key of the game for LSU.

No.3 Alabama Crimson Tide QB Greg McElroy feels this game is the biggest game of the season, obviously right behind Florida Gators BCS Championship game, It could wind up being huge in the national title race, too. Alabama Coach Nick Saban meets his old team in a game that could send his current one to the SEC championship game. The Tide only has to win to secure a spot. This could be easy to say but hard to accomplish, they are ready and they look forward to this challenge next saturday. The rushing game is Alabama’soffense biggest asset, they are ranked 13th in the NCAA against a poor 68th from LSU, so this is the edge the Tide needs, RB Mark Ingram and RB Trent Richardson will be doing what they know best, running and controlling the clock. By air Alabama have WR Marquis Maze and WR Julio Jones, both great players but have scored only a few times and this could be a great time to make them work harder, they need this weapon as well if they want to be the next NCAA National Champs.
