Bama's D dominated, but that was a great performance out of the RS Sophomore in the BCS NCG. Made some tremendous throws and was able to elude the rush in key situations. Played with a level of poise and moxy that you'd expect to see from a fourth year starter.

I was impressed as well. If he didn't play with so much poise, the game could have went a lot different.

McCarron's play (and Lacy's play) makes me more optimistic about next year. Alabama's offense will have to carry more of the load next year as a relatively young defense is broken in. The oline will be great and if McCarron and the skill player can click like they were last night, then Alabama could have another great year.

Yep, while that was the best defensive performance I've ever seen in a college game, AJ was extremely impressive. And his coaches put him in a great position to be successful with sharp play-calling. Must be nice.

AJ definitely earned some respect last night. His stats weren't flashy by any means but he executed the gameplan to perfection and never got rattled.

his throws were spot on. He played very smart and was a field leader on the O side of the ball.

The QB positions were so very different for both teams. The coddling of JJ led to a stinky LSU gameplan and performance.

i agree. it'll be a much more even matched game next year. Mettenburger will actually be able to run an offense.

He was impressive indeed. I think bama could've beat any NFL last night.

Yeah he made some very good throws to receivers who were covered well, but he put it where only they had a chance to get it. And they mostly did

When they showed the graphic last night that compared Bama QBs of the last four championship games, I was amazed. McCarron was the first QB to ever break 200 yards. Hell, he was the first QB to break a 100.

He has tremendous upside, and he should improve over the summer. However, he won't have the defense or T.Rich to depend on next year. We will see.
