I don't think either coach has any idea how good his team is with more than half a season in the rear-view mirror.

And it mainly comes down to the quarterbacks.

LSU sophomore Jordan Jefferson will be facing a defense that is tied for the lead in the Southeastern Conference with 23 sacks,  and the Tigers  --  horror of horrors  --  have allowed 23 sacks.

With Alabama junior Greg McElroy,  the problem has not been sacks for a quarterback who has thrown only three interceptions. It's more of a matter of completing eight of 31 passes in the red zone. Horror of horrors.
