re: Bama Was Great/Better Team, But LSU Played Awful On Their Own, Too

Well, your offense did not do much on Nov. 5 either. You didn't find the endzone. You turned the ball over. At times, you looked inept. The difference in this game was that McCarron grew up, and Bama was able to get points when they moved the ball. You guys were not.

The OP fully acknowledges that Bama played a GREAT game and DOMINATED it. OK!

The simple truth is that Saban had a far better game plan, made adjustments from the previous game, and had his team better motivated to win.

Yes, Bama's play on defense was great and is the primary reason why LSU's Offense couldn't do much. But that said, Miles had a horrible offensive gameplan going into the game. LSU did nothing different than in the first Bama game. LSU asked JJ to do things (bubble screens)last night that he is historically bad at doing. LSU continued to run an option that Bama was very prepared to defend.

JJ was a deer in headlights and was not getting the snap until there was 1 or 2 seconds on the play clock. He was not properly prepared to play against Bama's D. That was obvious.

As great as Bama was last night on Defense (and we are all giving you credit that they were great) LSU was equally horrific in their game plan prep, execution, and in-game adjustments.

Congrats on the victory.
