Bama's defense was great but our offense made them look legendary...JJ was Alabama's MVP. McCarron also played lights out, so he should get a lot of credit as well.

Exactly. McCarron played a great game. LSU's defense played reasonably well. I knew they would fall apart at some point and am surprised they held on as long as they did. They were on the field the whole game. But, McCarron played the best game I have ever seen him play. Great game.

LSU's defense played well enough to keep LSU in the game. But, the offense was terrible. Beyond terrible.

Take the interception Jefferson threw to Mosely, for example. If he runs it, with Ware blocking for him, he probably picks up at least a first down. Why do a shovel pass? Alabama did not force him to do that. It was stupid. He is supposed to be a running QB, but instead, thought he'd ad lib. Ware turned around to block, logically thinking JJ was going to run because of the big open field in front of him, and JJ throws it over his head right to a defender.

Stupid.

If JJ had hit Jarvis Landry in stride, he would have run into the end zone. Even Saban admitted that LSU had open receivers. But, JJ was incapable of finding them, as he has been his whole career.

Bama was great. But, LSU, led by Jordan Jefferson, was also terrible.
