Is it possible

[bulldognation]

We could catch Bama in a trap game after their trip to LSU?

Or am I forgetting that they're Bama.

I think you're forgetting..

It's a trap game for fans that believe there's a chance.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

Shut this talk down now. It is ridiculous.

I think you are forgetting, too. But bama has one "what the hell was that?" game (5 turnover, etc). They haven't had it yet but it will probably come against AU.

 

[Shmuley]

Yes, it is possible that they are looking ahead to Chattanooga.

 

[PonderThis1]

We have as much of a chance as any 29 point underdog has of beating their opponent... less than .1%.

I will say it was ridiculous last week to think State would beat A&M.

But I do agree - it's ridiculous.

 

[preacher_dawg]

No. I can't even come close to getting my hopes up that high and then be dashed to pieces. I would prefer that we beat Bama over OM, but it ain't gonna happen.

Best case scenario: it's a lot like the 2013 game.

Hurts turns it over several times, our defense plays tough and keeps them relatively in check, but at the end of the day we aren't moving the ball or scoring a whole lot of points. Fitz isn't there as a passer yet, and our wideouts aren't physical enough.

So best case scenario we lose something like 24-10 and feel pretty good about our effort and still think 6-6 is attainable.

 

[the dog is on the loose]

Bama can turn it over five times and still win. Im thinking score is like 52-6.

 

[messageboardsuperhero]

Best case scenario is that we don't lose any starters to injury and keep Fitz fresh for the games that we'll really need him.

 

[tatedog]

You need three components for a trap game:

1) An underestimated underdog (Any chance of this was blown by our upset of A&M). (NO)

2) A favorite that is looking ahead to a big game or coming off a big game. (YES--although honestly it's a bigger game to LSU than Bama emotionally).

3) Some fundamental favorite flaw that the underdog can exploit. (NO)

South Alabama says hey...

 

[Hoover Dawg]

Ole Miss showed you how to score on Alabama, and LSU showed you how to stop them. Do we have anyone who can replicate Swag and their wideouts? No. Do we have anyone who can replicate LSU's defensive talent? No.

The answer is no.

Ha. I didnt. I was one of the few to pick us on the prediction thread. I had a gut feeling. This week any gut feeling I have I'll chalk up to gas.

I do think Fitz presents a bigger challenge to Bama than LSU's Etling did. When they struggle (which isn't often), it's against a mobile QB.
