That's what I said. LSU made the right plays at the right time. The biggest was the sack of AJ in OT.
It's making the right plays at the right time. Not just right plays... but clutch plays.
That punt by Wing possibly saved the game. That interception on Alabama's 1 yard line definitely saved the game. That sack and tackles for losses in OT were clutch. And that run by Ford and kick won the game.
During crunch-time, LSU stepped up and made the big-time plays that won the game for them. Alabama fizzled.

You said more. I said at the right time.
Bama clearly had more big plays from the line of scrimmage but the 73 yard Wing punt possibly kept Bama from FG range. The INT at the LSU 1 foot line was crucial and the sack on AJ in OT was too.
LSU made them at the right crucial times.

For some reason, this is the play that stood out to me as the pivotal play of the game. I don't know if you were there or not, but you could almost feel the momentum about to shift Bama's way. I could feel the tension coming from the LSU fans a section over. LSU was pinned deep late in the game and a decent return could give Bama great field position for a scoring opportunity.
In the end, the objective posters on this site were right. And it was what I feared all along. The game came down to field position/punting and LSU had an advantage in that area. Their ability to flip the field won the game.
