Yes, it is by design. It is also the base defense, which I noted before. They didn't do it special for LSU.
I never once said it wasn't Bama's base D. I commented on what I saw in the game, which was DBs committed to stopping the run more so than the pass.
Bama's front did a great job of getting Fournette's feet stopped and the LBs and other pursuers did a great job of getting him on the ground when the front hadn't already taken care of it.

Then I'm confused as to your point. An article says Alabama didn't stack the box, which they didn't. You say article is bullshite. Alabama played their base defense, so there is some sort of disconnect here.
Here is a good breakdown on Alabama's run defense.
