#9 LSU @ #3 Alabama – 7.5
Alabama dropped a spot in the BcS last week on a bye. They get it back this week against a good but over matched LSU team.

He must do better than that against LSU to keep the Tigers from loading up the D line. This will be another real test of the Bama O line.
LSU QB Jefferson, also a 1st year starter, has struggled to get the ball down the field. He is completing almost 64% of his passing but only for 7.36 per attempt. RB Scott is not producing as much as they had hoped at just 4.5 per attempt and has scored only 4 TDs. The LSU O will struggle to keep the ball and let their D rest.
