Let's take a look at the bottom line. LSU made a pile of mistakes; Both of Lee's interceptions which were totally atypical of his play this season; Randle dropping a sure TD pass that he normally snags; Shepard inexplicably falling down when all he has to do is waltz into the endzone for a score; Ford losing track of his feet and stepping out of bounds on the way to an easy touchdown; three blown pass coverages for big 'Bama plays; again atypical of this defense; and I'm sure there were others. Now 'Bama's mistakes; trying three field goals that were out of range in a field position type of game; the flea-flicker pass call when they were already in FG range in a tight game. Seems to me LSU made more atypical type of mistakes than 'Bama, yet they still won the game. Saban is well aware that he can't count on the Tiger's making the same sort of mistakes again just as Miles can be fairly certain the long-range FG tries and ill-advised flea flicker can't be counted on a second time. Neither team dominated the other by any stretch but one team made more big plays and that team won the game.

Good points. I would also add the block in the back by Josh Chapman on the 2nd interception. It was a totally unneccessary penalty that moved the ball from inside the 5, back out to the 35 yard line. That play could've changed the outcome as well.

Bama had 12 plays from scrimmage 10 yards or more.
22,18,20,19,10,12,39,19,11,18,24,17
LSU had 5.
13,15,34,13,14,18
LSU had 2 INTs. One was returned for 33 yards.
Bama had 2 INTs. One returned for 15 yard but was called back.
Both returned INTs resulted in the team having the ball deep in the opposing team's territory. Both INTs resulted in FGs.
LSU had 1 blocked FG but didn't result in any points.
Bama none.
The biggest play was kicking the FG in OT but I wouldn't say LSU had more big plays. They just made the right play at the right time.
