re: Was 2016 the weirdest LSU-Bama game in recent history?

Hurts was asked just not to lose the game. It was like 2012 when Bama appeared to be ready for a blowout up 14-3 and went ultra conservative and had to win one on the last drive. In the 2nd half McCarron threw only 7 passes until the last drive. In 2013 Saban let McCarron go and it was a rout. 2016 was the same as 2012. Just don’t lose the game and don’t take any chances.
