this is the correct answer in my opinion:

LSU has recruited lighter but faster DEs. Matches up with A&Ms offense pretty well. Didn't let JM get to the outside, play tight coverage, and force JM to run up the middle right into our LBs.

Of course A&M never running the ball with an actual RB helps too

lsu defensive front is typically faster and more athletic than bama whereas bama is bigger stronger. Hence, if we don't have depth and great middle lbs we are vulnerable right up the middle. (LIKE THIS YEAR) and typically lsu corners are better cover corners than bamas while bama has better tackling guys who are better versus the run. just very subtle differences but they allow us to match up better versus jff. plus later in the season and they are finally figuring it all out. next year if we get a quality middle lber we should be a top ten defense again.
