Alabama-LSU Information......

[RedElephants]

Post anything you know or think here....this is the biggest game in the SEC West thus far this year.

My info is this and its from a connected source. Cam Robinson is coming along real well and actually practiced today with the 1's. Look for him to play at Tackle. Same source said that TJ Yeldon has a toe issue and there is serious concern that he will NOT be able to play Saturday. Someone along with Derrick Henry will have to step up if that ends up being the case.

I'll make a few calls fwiw. Still got ties to my homeland, but some of that sounds a little weird, no?

Its real.....Cam has made amazing strides, not sure how he actually had surgery on his ankle....but he practiced today. TJ's got a painful toe injury......people are worried.

Bama fan here. I'd be shocked if Cam plays, although all reports from practice say he's running with the 2's. High ankle sprains typically take 3-4 weeks to heal. You can run on a high ankle sprain all day, but it's those quick lateral movements that are difficult and it's those lateral movements that often times cause re-injury. I doubt he's pushing the ankle to game-type extremes in practice, and I'd assume the staff would have him running with the 1's if they were optimistic about his chances of playing. But, I'd love to be wrong.

I haven't heard the bad prognosis for Yeldon. If true, this adds to my list of growing concerns about this game. Yeldon has returned to form this year after having some nagging injuries last year, but Derrick Henry is a shell of the running back he was against Oklahoma. If Henry is the lead back on Saturday, he's going to need to run the football harder. Period. He's 6'3, 240 and doesn't have great lateral quickness. If there's not a hole, lower your head, get 2 yards, and play for the next play. But this tiptoeing behind the line of scrimmage like he's Barry Sanders business needs to stop before Saturday.

I have a bad feeling about the game for some reason, and I look forward you to telling me why I am wrong. My concerns are:

1) Sims hasn't looked great on the road, and Saturday will be 10x the atmosphere and hostility of his other road tests.
2) They will make someone other than Cooper beat them.
3) Can we get a consistent push upfront, especially if Cam doesn't play? Our OL play has been hit-or-miss so far.
4) LSU has a solid offensive line.
5) Special teams/trick plays
6) Ragland had surgery this week on his hand.

With that said, I'm confident in our defense. I think everything clicked for our front 7 during the Arkansas game, and they've been playing lights out ever since. LSU will get their yards on the ground, but I think we hold them to somewhere around 150. And LSU doesn't have the QB or the receivers (this year) to exploit our secondary.

Like I said, I got a bad feeling. I see something like 20-17 LSU.

 

[CoachCB]

LSU has been playing over their heads since the UF game (how did that shitty Florida O score that many points?). Contain the LSU QB and attack LSU's secondary (which will open the running game) and Bama wins easy. My prediction: Bama 27-16.

With Alabama having Miss St up next, IMO, its the GOY in college football.........Alabama rolls LSU........

RED L:

Crimson Tide freshman left tackle Cam Robinson sprained his ankle early in the third quarter against the Volunteers, and Saban said last week that he would miss "a couple of weeks." On Monday, however, Robinson participated in practice.

"We haven't ruled him out of this game," Saban said. "We'll have to see how he progresses this week. He has run on the treadmill and has done well at that, and if he continues to make progress, he could be a guy who will be available for the game."

Got an email into a reporter regarding Yeldon, let's see what comes back. Best.

He practiced with the 1's on Tuesday I'm telling you.....not in front of the media. Yeldon has been in a boot all week which means nothing, but the concerns are real.

TJY practiced yesterday and was not in a boot but wasn't doing the regular RB drills...he was working 1-on-1 with RB coach, Burns

I don't expect Cam to play at all....will be Shepherd i believe. still a lot of time b/w now and 8pm sat

 

[bobbyjones2]

the thing that stands out here is the lack of any passing game by lsu..what if they cant line up and smash away for 4 yards a carry against the tide defense? u think jennings can make plays enough to win? i dont

give saban extra time to prepare for a one dimensional offense..7 doesn t seem like asking alot, even in death valley at night

the yeldon nic would give me great trepidation however, as i prefer he to harvey

LSU season ticket holder here.............I don't know who's gonna win, but it should be a great game to watch in Tiger Stadium.

You would be INSANE to bet this game without knowing all the inside information! Our sources have HUGE news that make this game an absolute LOCK! Thats right, this game is an easy winner once you know what we know! The line on this game is 15 points off! We will make a $100 player a $2000 winner this weekend on this game! We are a documented 263-4 this year, and this is another parlay winner for sure! DM me for details. And remember if we dont go 18-0 this weekend, the rest of the season is free!

 

[bigtease]

BS damn I'm only 100-1 whatever

You got some kind of 20/1 exotic ? How the hell are you going to make a $100 player 2k ?

What you're really trying to say is you want some sucker you can pressure into betting 2k. ...Nice fella you are.

He doesn't wear a boot in practice....he wears a boot in outside of practice. Cam's playing IF he keeps progressing each day. As for the pother posts, I tailgate regularly with 4 former Alabama OL.....I don't pull Alabama information out of my ass. No sarcasm intended.....

God, I hope so, lol. OK, who we got tonight? I used my one and only MAC coupon last night, anything else, I am anything but on my own.

it was. i just heard a radio commercial here in vegas like this. guy claimed to be hitting over 80% of his college plays this year and has inside info that guarantees this is a winner. i forgot to listen to what his name was. i will catch it next time.

i know it angers him, but dave cokin has a handicapping radio show on here and from time to time he rips on these commercials where cappers make outrageous claims like this.

i remember a couple years ago at the end of the nfl season, some capper selling picks on the radio had claimed to hit 14 consecutive monday night parlays
