LSU Vs Alabama "Countdown to Armageddon": Why the LSU Tigers Will Beat Alabama Pt.I Of A Decadent Saga

         

        Another morbid fall sunset dies over the hills and an oncoming rush of chill arrives, consuming the body to the inside of its festering core, letting us know that the dirge of November is upon us.
        And always following quickly after, the dregs of Nick Saban and his army of contract mercenaries and assassins, ready to do his bidding with this year's first week of November meeting between the Tigers and Tide being this Saturday: Death Valley....at night.
      The setting is all too familiar and climactic, almost too perfect for this year's festivities of brutal, often savage SEC on SEC violence: it sets LSU on an even playing field (one would assume if there IS one) with Alabama and Tago, their prodigy quarterback.
       Tago has put up Madden08 numbers on SEC defenses all season long, battling a string of (supposedly) small injuries to throw for 3-5 touchdowns in the first half of most games, sitting and resting while Jalen Hurts gets garbage time: against Arkansas Tago was 10 for 13 for 4 touchdowns....a joke...

      The 2017 national championship saving Hawaiian is sure to see the fastest defense he's seen, or will see, all year this Saturday night and easily the most punishing. It will all come to roost, when Grant Delpit and his 5 interceptions on the season, Greedy Williams, John Battle IV, linebacker Jacob Phillips and top 5 NFL draft guarantee, Devin White come to meet the young Mormon quarterback foot soldier for Saban, with the lights on full blast Saturday night in Death Valley...Gary Danielson will shout for blood, violence and human meat on green grass, calling the referees "jail guards" on accident.
       One of the keys to this game has already happened: in the second half of the bruising win against #22 Mississippi State, Devin White was charged with a targeting penalty and ejected from the game for a love tap and shove of the lower neck on quarterback Nick Fitzgerald. As we know with the ridiculous targeting penalties, this also means Devin White, LSU's and therefore one of the nation's leading tacklers, is suspended for the entire first half against Alabama.

         Of course this blatantly harsh call wasn't overturned by the Alabama obsessed SEC (of course they are, all Alabama does is bring money for their conference) even though White was already knocked out for a quarter of the Mississippi State game.
         This leads many to believe that the last thing the SEC wants is for LSU to beat Alabama. For if Ed Orgeron's team does that, it'll throw the SEC's locked spot in the college football playoff into disarray, something they cannot and will not have. But are these men in the smoke filled SEC rooms in Atlanta that paranoid?
          The conspiracy is obvious, when you look at the actions of Raekwon Davis, Alabama's stud defensive lineman, who threw sequences of punches at a Missouri player and wasn't ejected.
    Davis smashed Missouri offensive lineman Kevin Pendleton three times with his fists as the two were on the ground, then appeared to knee him in the back after he stood up. 
          How is what Devin White did worse than this??? We all know it was a lame-ass, premature ejaculation targeting call against White in the first place, but they can't save any face? It was an embarrassment to human gatherings of all sizes and declarations. It was a goddamn scourge. 
         Raekwon Davis can literally attack and assault a player and all he gets is a flag? 
          The SEC will just say, in respect to both cases that they "back the referees in the games". But we all know what this is....Alabama MUST play in the college football playoff at all costs or the SEC commissioner and his faceless honky cats will burn a preschool to the ground. 

        We will never see a college football playoff without an SEC team, that is for certain, so why all the pro Alabama stuff? Why do they allow Nick Saban and his power over that community and university to go unchecked? Just like Urban Meyer, it'll be years before anyone pays attention...

     Until then this is nothing but conspiracy from a 28 year old stoner.
     But how will LSU make up for that loss of Devin White through two quarters? We know that's all Alabama has needed to lock games up before this season and of course during this 50-60 points per game stretch. According to  Jacques Doucet, Ed Orgeron says it's all about this:
This team plays well when they're mad. I coach better when I'm mad." #LSU Coach O on how the Tigers have responded to the Devin White suspension

     So it's about playing mad, playing with an intensity....a zero tolerance for any yardage by Alabama. They will need to shut down the tag team of both Harris' in the Alabama rushing attack to get Tago into 3rd and long situations, something we know he's barely seen all season.
      This isn't something that can just be wished for, with Alabama's litany of offensive weapons and a quarterback smart enough and ballsy enough to squeeze the trigger and pull off big plays.
     So we're going to have to see a few turnovers out of the LSU defense....A couple of sacks also.  Will LSU cornerback Greedy Williams,

 a surefire NFL talent, make some big plays? Or maybe Tago will be smart enough to ignore his side of the field completely...And Grant Delpit, who has a couple huge first half interceptions this season already, will surely be the X factor I will be watching for, whether Devin White is out there or not.

     Delpit is something to behold:

like Tyrann Mathieu before him, or the receiving tandem of Landry and Beckham Jr. that lit up highlight reels with strip sacks recovered for a touchdown...one handed, diving catches, etc plays that make you jump up out of your seat, because ...let us face the simple, universal truth: we need these types of things in the hardened, unreality of social media and the blitz and trap of the twisted Trumpian led violent political discourse.
      Delpit is one of those specimens primed for a game just like Saturday night, in the same breath as Eric Reid and his interception in Tuscaloosa during the 9-6 overtime LSU win in the "Game of the Century".
     LSU will need a play or two like that to win this game, right?
     The defense will keep this score down. They may allow big plays to this Alabama freight train, yet they can shut teams down on 4th and 1, or in the red zone. Will Alabama bypass the red zone altogether and just light it up? Receiver Jerry Jeudy

is the player LSU need to be concerned about most (his big play ability being a stunning asset and facet to Alabama's offensive juggernaut). Or will the first stern competition this Nick Saban led crucible has faced take Alabama to the ground with the straight up dangerous speed of this defense?
      Will Alabama's barely mentioned awesome defense of Raekwon Davis, linebackers Dylan Moses and Mack Wilson etc be ready to hit someone? Linebacker Mack Wilson said this week they were ready to, so we're all fired up and waiting...both sides of this frightful, terrifying coin.
      I think Alabama will be stunned, but this game will be A see-saw of dramatic proportions with the hardest hits anyone will see in college football this season, that can be assured.
      I will save my secret for how LSU can win this game, in one play, In the final chapter.
