Lol, bama's defense was shite. LSU, Clemson, and OSU are all significantly better than bama was this year.

PortCityTiger24•52 months

Ehh... LSU proved to be better on the field. Clemson or Ohio St vs Bama with Tua is a toss up.

imjustafatkid•52 months

LSU proved they were not "significantly better" on the field, even with Tua clearly not being allowed to scramble during the game.

Big EZ Tiger•52 months

Bama never had the ball with a chance to take the lead. Pretty sad.

Pandy Fackler•52 months

Lucid moments for that old fricker are few and far between but he nailed it with that one. Lsu was one starting middle linebacker away from losing to alabama. It's a fact and this is why Clemson wins. They'll get the stops Alabama couldn't get.

Big EZ Tiger•52 months

Haha...Lou even brought out old Fudge Packer, I mean Pandy Fackler.

Croomismyname•52 months

He is right. With Tua Clemson, LSU et all don't stand a chance....and I am completely unbiased.

Grim•52 months

If only LSU would have played Alabama with Tua at QB so we could know for sure

Big EZ Tiger•52 months

Tua played the whole game and threw a 50+ yard strike for a TD with under 2 minutes left. Yeah, he was so hurt. Even with Divinity out, Bama still couldn't score more points than LSU...AT HOME.

narddogg81•52 months

Bama with it's roster at the start of fall camp was easily the best team. Should have still won that LSU game with tua at 50%, refs fricked it up

BowDownToLSU•52 months

Quit crying and take notes on the 13th on how to beat Clemson

narddogg81•52 months

How sad that lsus best team ever needed an illegal touching TD to with a game against a bama team down like 8 starters, half the defense true freshmen, and a QB on one leg, still should have lost by 2. Just accept your luck and prepare to suck next year

JHH4LSU•52 months

Dude the play happened on 1st down right? You believe Bamas stellar defense holds the most prolific offense of all time for two more downs? Ball was at the 17 we could have gotten another first down as well. Your tears taste great BTW.

Sufferin' succotash! That's crazy Lou!

nismosao•52 months

I guess since Bama fans are sitting home during the championship run this year, they are invading the TD front page comments section. Hey Bama, RTWFU! Y'all are delusional. I like how Tua was "50%" because he fake limped at the END of the game.

narddogg81•52 months

Ghey

MrKnowItAll•52 months

Ok.. so does that mean Alabama can claim another championship?... The 2019 Lou Holtz Opinion Chammpionship?

Grim•52 months

Would literally be more legitimate than some of their other claimed titles

Lou Holtz is developing the first stages of Alzheimer's. It is called "Old Timers'! LOL

Nobody left more national championships 'on the table' than lou holtz at notre dame... good riddance he's out of college football. Geaux Tigers.

LSU FSU Grad•52 months

Not true. Bobby Bowden at FSU. 14 straight top 4 finishes. 2 titles. That's a lot left on the table.

CFFreak•52 months

Steve Spurrier ... only 1 NC. Everyone thinks he's up there with the Sabans and Urban Meyers of the world but very overrated.

JohnnyU•52 months

He sounds like an old drunk who gets most of his knowledge from a bottle. He sucked on ESPN after his coaching days were done, He’s always had a stick up his arse about LSU and was allegedly the only coach not vote LSU #1 in the final coaches poll.

ChipDiamond•52 months

Psh! Get rid of the victim complex.

HoustonGumbeauxGuy•52 months

Lou is lucky to remember to breathe, much less offer an opinion on college football.

ByUselves•52 months

Gotta love the wuda, cuda, shuda crowd gathering in tuskerloozerz this year. Injuries are part of the game. Dont blame LSU for the GOAT coach to screw it up by leaving Tua in a tad too long against an out manned MooState...bama plays 2 games a year, both near the end of the season. The rest of the year they hold a televised Saturday scrimmage to show everyone how great they are...

Swamp Angel•52 months

Not true. Holtz actually said, "Alabama wath the betht team in thphthe country, but got unlucky."

lsusteve1•52 months

Maybe 2nd or 3rd Also, this DOES apply to LSU (2011) though

LSU-DUDE•52 months

Right wings finest, Old Holtz.

real turf fan•52 months

Congrats, Lou, you're still alive.
