Not many people talking about Bama's three turnovers. The two penalties (holding and unsportsmanlike) were a 14 point swing. We missed two field goals. Not to mention I felt like Julio missed two deep balls that would've really changed the game.

I think it's lost on a lot of people that we didn't play very well either. Doesn't really matter we are still undefeated and headed to Atlanta.

Both teams goofed. LSU D looked pretty good though.

You got those points right back.

I still hold to the thought that the unsportsmanlike made no difference on that first LSU TD drive. The kick return was a nice one and LSU marched down field fairly easily. The holding call is not a swing of any points: it was a blatant holding (though not as blatant as those that were uncalled on the 2 previous plays) that kept the closest person to making a play from being able to.

Julio is a hell of a player, but LSU's coverage was pretty good. Peterson did a hell of a job. I don't remember a deep ball where Julio was wide open and just missed it, someone was usually there to disrupt it.

you can't call the unsportsmanlike penalty a 7 point swing. that's just idiotic. lsu still drove down the field, they MIGHT have had to go about 20-25 yards further but you can't automatically assume they wouldn't have. your player also shouldn't have held alem, who very well could have caught wilson before he broke that run. alem is fast, easily the fastest DL LSU has had in a good while. this thread is stupid.

you won, but you will have to do better not to get embarrassed by UF or any other team in a bowl; no hate, just mho. Hopefully you won't have to play Boise State and get skull drug and embarrass the conference

Because we had more. Our turnovers for the most part were critical. 1 interception returned for a TD, one to the 1 yard line, and one in OT that essentially sealed the game.

As far as Alabama looking clearly like the better team... no. It was a grudge match that could've gone either way if you take away both sides mistakes. Next year will be a different story. Peterson looks like a pretty good answer to JJ.

Congrats
all you have to do is get past UF and you are in the NC

that's because we forced those turnovers.

your turnovers were gift wrapped and simply poor offensive execution.

What do you expect from an LSU web site? This is the SEC Rant, but it is on Tigerdroppings.com. LSU fans perception is slanted towards LSU giving away the game...duh. A Bama fan such as yourself is going to say "Bama almost gave the game to LSU."
