That's also interesting in that LSU has allowed opponents into their redzone nearly twice as much as Alabama has.
when you are trouncing the other team you try to give experience to younger players. As a result the other team usually scores with a bunch of backup defenders. I think its more of a slap in the face to the other team that they scored on subs but could not muster much against 1st team defense.

I think it's funny this was meant to favor bama but the OP failed to notice that LSU holds their opponents to a FG more of the time.
So LSU forces more turnovers and is better at not giving up a TD in the RZ. Also, not sure what Bama's redzone offense is like but I think LSU has scored a TD 31/39 trips to the RZ.
nvm - found it on the rant
Alabama - 41 RZ trips, 24 TDs and 11 FGs and they rank 46th in the nation in RZ efficiency.
LSU - 39 RZ trips, 31 TDs and 7 FGs and we rank 2nd in the nation in RZ efficiency.
So, not only are we good at forcing FGs, but Bama is much less efficient at scoring TDs once they make it to the RZ.
