LSU is not good enough again.

I was also looking at Alabama Spring game and the Crimson Tide down lineman looked must stronger than LSU interior lineman. Alabama defense spoiled the Crimson Tides offense because they really were that good.

Now I think that this LSU football team is not any better than LSU 2015 football team. Because LSU offense and defense has slipped in the kind of talent LSU needs to keep up with Alabama, Ohio State, etc...And I'm afraid that the people running LSU has held onto Head Coach Les Miles far to long, and is now slipping back into the pack of the SEC also-ran.

Alabama Spring Game 2016: Recap, Highlights and Twitter Reaction

As the Alabama Crimson Tide prepare to defend their national title, A-Day took place in Tuscaloosa with the White squad knocking off the Crimson squad by a final score of 7-3.

The final score was a secondary concern for 'Bama fans and head coach Nick Saban, as the team is looking to replace 11 total starters, including Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry and quarterback Jake Coker as well as break in new defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt after Kirby Smart left for Georgia.

Fortunately for the Tide, their roster is stacked with talent every year. Alabama had the nation's best recruiting class in 2016, per 247Sports, to say nothing of key returning players like defensive end Jonathan Allen and standout offensive linemen Cam Robinson and Ross Pierschbacher.

As is often the case when Alabama is involved, offense was difficult to come by. Both teams were scoreless in the first half, though at least the running back competition did yield some positive results early, per Michael Casagrande of the Birmingham News:

Damien Harris 5 carries, 40 yards.
Bo Scarbrough 2 carries, 4 yards.

Getting Damien Harris and Bo Scarbrough carries will be integral because even though Alabama ran the ball 633 times in 2015, the bulk of those carries were reserved for Henry (395) and Kenyan Drake (77). Harris and Scarbrough combined for 64 attempts.

Harris was the standout among the running backs during the game, with Charlie Walter of WSFA Channel 12 tweeting out the box score heading into the second half:
