re: Alabama dominated LSU Nov. 5th...

quote:

LSU kicked a FG in the 2nd quarter. That was after they drove the ball to the Bama 2 also. So Bama didn't have everything going for them in the first 3 quarters.

---

As I said, they had every fumble, interception and call (but one) go there way. And it was precisely that 'help' that put them in position to kick every one of those 40+ FG tries. LSU had every fumble, interception and call (but one) go against them, yet, as you point out, they drove the ball to the Alabama 2 yard line and equalled Alabama's score through 3 quarters. Why? Because LSU overcame those setbacks by outplaying Alabama .

quote:

---

LSU - 2 INTs. 1 FG.
Bama - 2 INTs. 1 FG.

---

The entire point is, through 3 quarters, it was:
LSU - 2 INTs
Alabama - 0 INTs

---

In the 4th quarter Bama drove deep into LSU territory only to have the Maze pass picked off so the wheels weren't falling off.

Your coach was so confident in his team's offensive performance that he took the ball out of his QB's hands and let his RB throw the wildcat pass - a pass that is ALWAYS a floater no matter who's RB is throwing - there is a reason the guy is NOT the QB after all - against the fastest defense in the country. For 30 yards. Smells of desperation and frustration to me.

If the game was never in doubt why was 6-6 at the end of regulation?

I said in retrospect. The retrospect that showed that Alabama had zero chance of hanging with LSU in OT. As I said, last three possessions - that's 12 plays - and only 2 of them for positive yardage, including ZERO in OT.
