Tua vs. Burrow* *Assuming Tua plays since he's been out two weeks following ankle surgery. People are excited about this one. Two top tier college QB's playing against good quality opponents. Both teams can score. Arguably LSU have the better defense. Will Tua be on form after his injury?
I expect LSU to win. I think they have a better defense and I don't think Saban can scheme against tall WRs catching 50/50 passes down the sidelines. I think LSU's WRs are better than the bama DBs. If Alabama wins it will be b/c their OL dominates (they struggled early, but have been more cohesive the last few games) and they get their backs involved. Most of the season they were relying on Tua and the WRs to carry them. A gimpy Tua will need a strong run game and better protection against a better defense.
