so you like living in the past!, well here is one for you. LSU beat Bama last season. Bama had the Heisman QB and two other first round draft picks. and yet they still lost to LSU. just goes to show you that anybody can beat anybody else on any given time.

Probably one of the most head scratching losses I’ve seen under Saban. LSU was incredibly weak on the LOS but Alabama was very ill equipped to do anything about it. Defensive gameplan took their best players out of affecting the game. Offensive line underperformed drastically. Alabama has had games like this but they usually pull away late and get to learn from the win that felt like a loss.

Going for 2pt was huge because the longer that game went on the more likely Alabama’s overall better talent prevailed despite the mistakes by the players and coaches that got them in the predicament.

Sorta like that time LSU called the TE reverse out of goal line in 2010. That play never works in NCAA Football but somehow worked in real life in a big moment.
