Title: Bye week is perfect for Tide and Tigers Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on October 25, 2011, 04:10:15 PM http://espn.go.com/blog/sec/post/_/id/31366/bye-week-is-perfect-for-tide-and-tigers
Quote Talk about the scheduling gurus getting it right. Nearly everyone in America is counting down the days until the seismic bout between No. 1 LSU (8-0, 5-0) and No. 2 Alabama (8-0, 5-0). While fans are itching to see these two behemoths play, both teams are ready for some time off. We might not be able to wait, but they sure are. “The No. 1 thing we need to do right now is rest, get healed up,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said. “We had a lot of guys banged up going into this game and we gotta get healthy.” This game will carry Super Bowl-like hype and having a week off from both squads will only intensify it. It keeps both teams at the top of the polls and destroys any chance of a scare for either. It’s perfect in the long run, but it will sting not seeing either this weekend.

Both teams will be rested and neither team has an advantage over the other.
