This game confirms Alabama isn’t a true contender

Yes I’m aware we’ve had bad games against Lower competition in the past and played better going forward. I’m confident we will play better in the future too. But this team just has flaws that just can’t be fixed with this combination of roster personal and coaching staff. No running game, defense relies on turnovers to be effective, offense has been consistently okay at best in conference play. I think we still finish undefeated in the regular season but this offense cannot score 30 points against anyone worth a damn. For me it’s good to temper expectations though so I don’t get too annoyed if things don’t work out.

I really dont think anyone is head and shoulders above the rest.
We can put a game together against anyone.

I personally don’t think about that and just enjoy the wins. Like you said this team has holes and it’s hard to win championships.

I think the top 3 play with a level of consistency that we wouldn’t be able to deal with. We have a stretch of horrible ball in every game. We will get down multiple scores doing that against OSU or A&M.

Are we the only top 5 team that can't run?

Well to be fair, no one knew what to expect from LSU with a different staff after 2 weeks off.
That said, offensive play calling has to be better. We don’t need home runs every play. We just need to sustain drives.

Yep and that’s how I’m gonna try to think about it to. Tonight was just such a bad game played by both teams that there isn’t much to celebrate in general

Who is the team that sticks out as a true contender to you?
Texas A&M? Ohio State? Each will only have 1 win against a team ranked in the next poll.
We have a flawed team because we can’t run, but when Simpson is on, we can beat anyone this season.
I think the defense at this point is playing well all around.

LSU played with effort but they were still just as poorly disciplined as they’ve been. And just flat out a bad team. Lots of all out blitzes to which the offense could do nothing against. LSU looked more incompetent than any team I’ve seen us play all year

Ty has never been on in sec play for more than a half at a time. He’s only had 2 bad games but he’s still had long stretches where the offense does nothing.

And that’s part of what sucks. We never have a response to all out blitzes. No tight end dump offs, no slants, nothing.

Ohio state and Texas A&M stick out to me because they have multiple ways to attack offensively and both are really effective running the ball. Both are great defensively and more effective on that side of the ball than we are. Essentially that spells were only beating those type of teams if Ty just goes for mode. I suppose it could happen but doesn’t seem likely

I agree, but I don't know what all they can do differently if no run game is going to develop.

frick that, 'Bama is 8-1 and ranked #4 in the country.
Indiana struggled against a terrible Penn State team with a similar coaching situation and everyone is sucking their dicks.

We have got to get some better backs.

I agree with everyone. I doubt we can win it all but I don't doubt we could win every game.

I mean on the game tonight. You’re right the season as a whole is still definitely a big success to this point

We can beat any team in the country. We can also lose any Saturday

You do realize the defense held LSU to around 239 total yards, right? 3 sacks, 7 TFLs, two fumble recoveries. ZERO touchdowns for LSU.
Was the defense perfect? Nope, but all in all, not a bad nights work.

A&M gave up 42 to Arkansas, 40 to ND, and even 25 to LSU. They do not have a great defense. I actually think they have a worse defense than us, but much more balanced offense.
Ohio State has played one good team in week 1. In that game they were out gained by over 100 yards. They’re probably a good team, but we don’t know yet.
It’s fine to say you think we are worse than those teams, but to say we aren’t a contender is a ridiculous comment.
