" Hey I'm Scott Kennedy welcome to the Scott shows we -- deep south. For the matchup for the week as LSU travels to Tuscaloosa to take on Alabama. And that LSU side of things were bringing in Sonny Shipp at scout dot com and sunny LSU's little inconsistent with their ground game last week against Tulane they racked up the season and I 267. Yards. And Charles Scott got his season high breaking a hundred for the first time all year and we expect to see -- him against Alabama."

" Well Alabama at Bryant is Alabama on it going to be being in and that's going to be a big matchup -- you know that -- which is which is really struggled. With. You know with any kind of -- City -- this year but you know rally she'd have a team ago and they're gonna have to get some semblance of a running game whether or not -- got out in the between the tackles. Or up possibly trying to holiday or Russell should effort on the edge but you know that's going to be that's going to be --"

" well LSU has been a little inconsistent offense have been nothing wrong with that defense that shut out Tulane last week held Auburn to its lowest output of the season they held Florida thirteen points -- continue that type of dominance against an Alabama team that's been struggling a little bit on offense heading into -- week."

" John David this group has gotten better each week there you know they're really getting some good linebacker play particular -- and Shepherd he's got thirteen tackles each of the last three games. And I you know -- look at the -- of the game that's going to be another one. It LSU's defense of pride you know keep in the -- aplomb and occupied and as a sort of -- cut model mark Ingram and company."

" a lot of the national focus has been Alabama storming towards Atlanta in a matchup with Florida but a win puts LSU atop the rankings and SEC west to -- what it takes a going to Tuscaloosa and take the number one spot away from Alabama."

" Yeah I have what it they have what it -- and -- half -- and then they're gonna have to play my game to where they don't make mistakes. They don't beat themselves. And they're gonna have to have someone step up and make a big play to help Jordan Jefferson whether or not going to be Reuben Randle Russell Shepard one of the other young guys. But someone's gonna have to step up and -- and nine take on the red curtain often and like a pitch and -- is going to be not going in -- can be yourself and hope your in it and in order."

" All right thanks sunny for the Crimson Tide perspective we're bringing in cart McNair Alabama mag dot com and cart. Greg McElroy has really struggled over his last three games -- score a touchdown against Tennessee he's only completing 46% of his passes over that period. What does he need to do to be more consistent throw on the ball for Alabama."

" Well its existing medical -- is. Did the brunt of the bloodied her -- lack of success offensively in general and specifically in. Acting now and it's it's maybe not out it's he's in the they moved him. Careless drops eyes receivers he's. He's also been not argued part of it is like. Probably more than any news that he extra element been placed. In recent gains. Been very good. Alabama and -- about was schemes. The protect the quarterback while here. So that -- have and make accurate throws and his receivers -- at -- and -- out."

" head coach Nick Saban said he thought he was more psychologically tired than physically tired and injury to players such as linebacker Donta hightower really start that up still though that defense has been dominating how much better can they get with a week off to prepare for LSU's offense."

" Afflicted and excitement Korea in the -- probably needed. Mental made clear as much is in building that they also needed. The -- straight games in the way Alabama practices. Hard practice. A lot of first its first full year practices. They needed to break physically there. They debate it certainly -- how -- it Alabama has been mixing and -- Linebackers but he yet make -- difference in the true freshman he's been played net. Weak -- linebackers but not like you know the past. Coverage responsibilities. That -- at our head and I -- Alabama's Steele is when he good about players so they pants. We get the job done."

" I -- I know the prediction it's Alabama tell me how Alabama's gonna win this game."

" Well always that element that we in -- almost always right. This year particularly. This is a very varied in Alabama about. I think it will be you know art -- Utley both teams have. Good players in -- positions and it'll be great to watch while those international television and I think Alabama comes out the way and it."

" I things -- Leila I agree with -- I see a lot of similarities between these two teams the difference to me is is what LSU does well. Alabama does a little bit better she plays really good defense Alabama plays great defense. LSU struggles on the ball a -- so does Alabama but you know what. Alabama runs the ball better than LSU and I think that's the difference have a better running game. Have a better defense and their plane home you take those three factors and all of a sudden it adds up to an Alabama win. The two quarterbacks however have been on different parks over the past couple weeks but I think that has more to do with the defense is they've been facing -- what the quarterbacks have done themselves. Jordan Jefferson has gotten healthy and selects a two lane and Auburn defense that hasn't been up to par this year Craig -- Roy has struggled against South Carolina ole miss and Tennessee three much better defense is when he was playing against Kentucky and Arkansas he looked like a world beater. The way -- defense has played -- I don't expect anything out of either passing game and I think this one comes down to the running games like I said Alabama's got the advantage there. A special thanks sunny -- a scout dot com and -- McNair Alabama mag dot com I'm Scott Kennedy for the Scotch --"
