Alabama to Break LSU's Winning Streak

I am predicting a very close game between Alabama and LSU. I believe the score will be 31-28 with an Alabama win. This will not be an easy game for Alabama. Actually, it will be their most difficult game of the season so far. Below I have a poll set up. I want everyone to give their honest opinion to which team they think will win. Do not vote for LSU just to make me mad, because it will. However, if you do vote for LSU, there better be a legitimate reason for it.

Who will win?


Alright, lets talk about Heisman first. I am going to start with some statistics. As always, better team first. Derek Henry has made a total of 180 attempts, 1044 yards, and 14 touchdowns this season. Overall in his career, he has made a total of 388 attempts, 2416 yards, and 28 touchdowns. Impressive right? Now for Leonard Fournette. Fournette has made a total of 176 attempts, 1352 yards, and 15 touchdowns this season. Overall in his career, he has a made a total of 363 attempts, 2386 yards, and 25 touchdowns. Lets just all admit something right now, Fournette is on fire this season. However, Henry should not be kept out of the conversation. Henry is a great candidate for Heisman and he definitely deserves it. 

We all know how Alabama has been playing offensively this season. It terrifies me, actually. Communication was a huge problem for Alabama in the first few games of the season. Their game plan has changed a lot in the past few games, but they still hit a few bumps in the road. What Alabama needs to do is let Derek Henry run his magic. The offense needs to give him some space so that he can run that ball all the way to end zone. Alabama's defense also has to be on high alert. LSU's offense is very similar to Alabama. Both teams can run the ball well and also defend well. This will be an interesting game. 

Again, this is going to be a very close game. So close that I will probably not stay sane throughout the whole game. Both of these teams have a lot of the same things in common that I can't even decide their weaknesses. Get ready for the tide to roll everybody.
