ChimpGrip Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Who wins and why? I go with Tide by 8 And how about 2011 Alabama vs 2010 Auburn Tide by 18 in that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

954gator Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 I think this LSU team was great, but I don’t think they are a team that’s anywhere near unbeatable. Shoot this years Fl team was right there with them. I’d probably go with Bama but who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a QB goes for about 90% completion rate and a RB goes for over a hundo while averaging 10+ a pop you did nothing to stop them. Can’t wait to whoop your ass in Death Valley this year! 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Bama run game with that monster OL would control the game and keep the ball out of Burrow’s hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn and UGA were pretty good, but compared to some of the Bama, LSU, or even Fl lines of the past they didn’t seem the same. Maybe that’s what’s making me think Bama. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to come back later with more but I don’t think '04 USC would slow down Burrow enough to win. What Burrow was doing, especially late in the year (throwing magnificent deep balls on roll outs, putting the ball on the money each and every time) is almost unstoppable unless you have a historic defense that had the personnel and scheme to slow it down. 2004 USC was a very good team but did not have a defense close to historic or anything like that. Regarding offenses... I know LSU scored only 23 on Auburn but you can’t cherry-pick games like that and put a team down. One could come back and say USC was underwhelming against Cal and Stanford in 2004, if I’m not mistaken, I believe the scores were 24-20 and 31-28.

I think the last great SEC DL was 2016 Bama. Georgia and Auburn have had some stout defensive lines, as well as LSU and Florida (you know UF ball so feel free to correct me if you disagree).

I'm noticing how a lot of football fans are picking LSU in all these hypothetical games, but won't say that they're the greatest team in CFB history. But good explanation on your behalf.

954gator Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Honestly I was confusing the Bama teams. 2012 Bama wasn’t the one I was thinking. I was thinking 2011. That team was just so damn powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were legit too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this interesting because of my interest in strongman and powerlifting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say the best linebacker unit of any Tide defense was the 2011 unit. Deepest front 7 (maybe in CFB history... insane depth) was 2015 unit. Great DL and LB's. As deep as they were, I don't think they generated stops like the 2011 team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
