Alabama Football: Youthful, healthy defense peaking at the perfect time

Eight years later, there’s another”Game of the Century” for top-ranked LSU and number two Alabama football deep in the heart of Tuscaloosa. The game’s enormity brings a mammoth media presence (600 media personnel seeking credentials), ESPN’s College Gameday, SEC Nation, and the Commander in Chief, Donald Trump.

These two teams are not strangers to each other. Considered the class of the SEC West, intimidation will not factor into this colossal matchup for either side.

The offenses are mirror images. Both possess explosive wide receivers who can turn a five-yard slant into a game-breaking 60-yard play. Add in two shifty, downhill runners in Najee Harris and Clyde Edwards Hillaire.
