The LSU defense is the issue to me.
I do not completely understand how many "original" starters are playing this weekend, and which ones have been out for which games.
I remember games that they had starters missing, and of course the impact LB was off the team but is coming back...
But to understand for this weekend, and the SEC Championship game, rather than just say you like one side or the other, if everybody could help with that issue...
ALSO, as we learned long ago in the Air Coryell era, when a team has a top wide open O and an elite QB that puts up TDs quickly, their D is on the field much more than others and points are put up, so on paper they do not look so hot, even if they are a decent unit...
