When LSU and Alabama square off in the BCS title game, whoever wins the special teams battle will be crowned National Champions.These two powerhouses are evenly matched, as evidenced by their 9-6 field goal fest in early November.They both have decent quarterbacks, elite running attacks and vicious defenses.
