re: LSU Has 14 of 22 Starters Returning and 34 of 44 on the 2-Deep?

LSU had more yards per rush, 150% of Bama's yards rushing, and sustained their scoring drives whereas Bama could not after the first two series.

LSU also drove deeper into Bama territory than Bama ever did on LSU - our scores were from chip shops instead of 45 yard field goal attempts. That is no accident - that is about who deserved to win (esp when one of Bama's "missed" field goals was blocked, not missed)
