I honestly can't wait til next season so Fournette will have a second (I don't count anyone's freshman season against them) chance to prove his worth. LSU fans kind of invited this trolling with their superlatives in the first half of the season, but it's time for everyone to just acknowledge that LF is a helluva player who had a bad game against a top-notch defense. It happens. Saban's defenses have made a lot of players look bad over the years.

It was mainly due to the fact we thought we had a "run-first" O-line and there was a possibility they might create some holes to get Fournette at least 80 yards rushing against Bama...

We were sadly mistaken

No question play-calling and personnel hurt. I won't say Miles called a great game because he didn't. But the entire season prior to that game gave him every reason to think the offensive style LSU had used thus far was an effective one. When Harris didn't have time to look downfield at his leisure and the entire line was collapsing, it's hard to imagine what adjustments Les (or Cam) could have made to turn the game around. Please note that I am not getting involved in the LSU fan civil war over Miles. He has made some baffling choices in his career. But this one is at least understandable on a game level if not on an overall team development level.
