Finally had the chest to watch the replay of this game. Thoughts:

1. Alabama defense was completely emasculated in this game in a manner that equals the Cam Newton 2010 second half. Only it was a full four quarters of the worst Bama defense in the Saban era.

2. The real cardinal error Miles made in the game was not trusting and staying with what was working. Mett was white hot in this game but in critical 3rd and 4th down situations in the fourth, Miles did not trust what was working and went conservative. The short to intermediate passing game of Mett to Landry or Boone was never stopped. The "Mad Hatter" failed to push the advantage.

3. AJ was terrible in this game. Believe injury and LSU secondary caused his worst performance of the season. Kudos goes to him for hanging in there and pulling out this game.

4. Offensive coaching won Bama this game and was the difference. LSU offense coaching was best of the season for three quarters and just cost LSU this game in the end. It was both there best and worst performance all year.

#1 faking it when we should have kicked and kicking it when we should have faked on the next series was a killer.

#2 the Warecat when everyone in the stadium knew what was coming, just line up and run your regular offense.

#3 Just go for it on 4th down at the end of the game rather than try another field goal. Even if you get it a TD still beats you.



Proud as hell of how our boys played. Tip your cap to bama for a great last minute drive to win, thats what championship teams do.

How Bama struggled against a team that nearly lost to Auburn is something I'll never figure out.

I was both thankful and surprised Bama abandoned the running game. I'm not sure but they were averaging 12 YPC at one point after the half. It was a great game but it's the sickest I've felt after a game in a long time.

LSU beat Auburn using a high school I formation offense. Probably the best coaching Miles did all season.

So our defense was emasculated and our QB was horrible and we still won? Imagine the score next year if we actually play a decent game.

Play calling for Bama sucked. Should've kept running the ball and kept the Defense off the field.

what I remember about this game was Mettenberger having the best game of his life and the LSU offensive line dominating the LOS early on. But it just wasnt enough.
