Y'all needed the refs to win in 2006 and a heisman moment to win in 2010.

Les takes crazy chances that seem to work most of the time. saban's crazy chances seem to backfire on him.


Actually, we've done nothing crazy against Auburn in the last few years. Last crazy thing that comes to mind is Byrd's touchdown catch with 1 second left in 2007.

Chavis just has a better defense than Saban.

Statistics do not support this at all.

I'm not talking about just against Auburn. Les does enough crazy shite that you have to be ready for it. saban plays stuff close to the vest. You know it's coming, you just have to stop it. Les may run a fake on 4th and 22 from his 15 yard line or he may punt on 3rd and long. (not realizing it was actually 3rd down)

Wasn't LSU robbed in Auburn in 2004?

Does the state of Alabama have something against kicking the football well?

He still has that reputation, no doubt, but he's been a bit tame with that kind of stuff the last 2-3 seasons.

Against that type of offense, Miles and Chavis just trust their players to make decisions on the field more than some coaches, hence the success.

Cody Parkey kicked the football damn well last year, we'll probably have a drop off in kickers and punters, but you can't hold the future against us yet.

You want to stop a HUNH offense? Hold on to the ball, run it a lot.

Last year against A&M, we had possession for over 40 minutes.
