Bama's offense put up better numbers than LSU's offense, and Bama's defense put up better numbers than LSU's defense.
I also forgot about the stats obsession among some Bama fans.
Those stats are meaningless because you didn't have a FG kicker, and once you got inside the 30, you couldn't do ANYTHING.
It wasn't just our special teams that kicked your arse - our RED ZONE defense extended out to the 25-30 was complete shut down on your offense. Total domination.
With a terrible kicking game, it means that Bama didn't even sniff the end zone. At least LSU got the ball inside the 5 right before the half. Bama never did that.

How many plays did LSU have inside Alabama's 30 before overtime?

LSu MADE 3 field goals.
Bama made ___?

Bama's offense was better than LSU's offense, and Bama's defense was better than LSU's defense. LSU's special teams was far and away better.
Deal with it.
Deal with it.

I have no clue what your kickers range is nor his stats for the year, but if that's true then he must have been seriously injured or have serious mental block from the look of it Saturday night.

Can anyone answer this question? Serious question. I'd like to know the answer.

Going into the game, the only drastically big advantage that LSU had was special teams so it shouldn't surprise anyone thats what decided it. Offense and defense were fairly even on both teams. You take out the two big blown coverages on TR coming out of the backfield, yardage would be fairly even.
It's not like bama missed any easy fgs. They were all long.

Here's my twist.

That's dominance, and it forced you to attempt FGs outside your kickers' ranges
I didn't see this when I posted just above.
Complete domination.
So, the 56 yards that Bama had more than LSU were completely irrelevant, wasted yards.
Bama couldn't do anything when it counted - when the pressure was on.
Inside the red zone - FAIL.
Kicking a FG - FAIL.
Overtime - FAIL.
Bama folded while your coach went ballistic on the sidelines and your fans cried.
Now, LSU caused that to happen to the greatest Bama team of ALL TIME. It wasn't because Bama blew opportunities, it was because LSU beat them.

more plays
Doesn't help your yardage argument.

Doesn't matter. Never has. But the funniest thing you wrote is right here...
quote:
Bama only punted TWICE the entire game.
And the question to end all questions is "why?"
If Alabama has the best defense in the country, the best defensive mind in the history of the game, the top coach in the country, and to top it all off, a running game that is built to rest the defense, why didn't Bama punt and try to drop the ball inside the 5 yard line. It would have been devestating to LSU considering Bama's defensive style. LSU, no doubt, would have been forced to punt out of their own endzone time and again, giving Bama excellent field position. But that didn't happen.
And just so the record's straight, LSU's defense made plays time and again, and especially when it counted. As another poster commented--if you kids made it into the red zone at any time during the game, I don't remember it.

methinks you have discovered the source of the auburn discontent. to me, it's like these type of bama fans are mad at LSU for beating them because we weren't supposed to and we rained on their parade. the truth is their and theirs alone. i do point out that many bama fans are not like this and i would point out that if we lost that game 6-9 we have been calling for our coaches head on a platter.

Well, we were inside the 5 yard line right before the half and our other FG was from about 30 yards out, too, so that's two drives inside the 30 right there.
And, we went forward in OT instead of backwards, but you're not counting that.
Geez, if it wasn't for special teams, overtime, or the red zone, Bama would have . . . wait for it . . .
TIED LSU 6-6.
Deal with it.

Quoted in case you settle down and figure out how ridiculous you sound and try to edit.
You're gonna look back on these posts one day and realize how embarrassing you sounded arguing over moral victories.
Get a hold of yourself, man. Your program is only 2 years removed from a BCSNC. You don't have to do this.

LSU didn't cause Bama to miss 3 of the 4 fieldgoals. LSU simply capitalized on opportunities.
Bama's defense was just as dominant as LSU's while inside Bama's 40 yardline.
Look up those stats while you're here.
How many plays did LSU even have inside of Alabama's 30? How many plays did they have inside of Alabama's 40, and what were the results?

Bama had more first downs, more total yards, more plays, almost a full yard more per gain, and had more time of possession.
None of that is debatable. Bama only punted TWICE the entire game. Bama forced LSU to punt 6 times.

LSU's special teams kick our arse, which resulted in a loss.
Great game. LSU was better where it counted. Saban was outcoached.
Bama outperformed LSU in two of the three phases. It was marginal, but it happened. It doesn't matter how you twist it.
What about the highly exalted "home field advantage" LSU had to overcome. bama has always prided themselves on having an intimidating atmosphere that wins games for them. If this game is on a LSU turf, does LSU outperform bama and win by an even wider margin?

It's the truth.
I've admitted that LSU is better than Bama and Saban got outcoached.
That doesn't change anything. Bama has a better defense and a better offense. LSU simply has a dominant special teams group - which was the difference in the game. The other two phases were close enough that the third phase made the difference.
