re: LSU has the QB advantage, but . . .

Last year Bama could have escaped Baton Rogue with a win had Saban not gone for two twice. To this day, I have no idea what led to those decisions but it cost us the game. And no, LSU fans, I'm not discrediting your win. I'm just adding to the OP's point.

However, I disagree with the rest. I think last year's Bama team was better and this year's LSU team is better. We've improved significantly on defense (in fact, this is our best defense since 2018). But we've regressed so far offensively without Bryce, it's alarming.
