There was one (1) TD scored in both of those games. Out of two games, LSU could not score a single TD.


That's funny because Alabama only scored 1 touchdown and it took them 7 1/2 quarters. My math may be off but that is not much better than not scoring one in 8. Meanwhile, they kicked 58 gimme FGs of > 40 yards. Also, we didnt try to score in the OT and finished the first half of the first game on your 1 yard line. I don't know if I would use that as an argument.

Its kinda like ole miss and florida in 08. No one thinks ole miss was the better team. Just like 21-0 obliterates the notion that LSU was the better team this year.


Seriously? Did Ole Miss go 13 - 0 that year and beat 9 top 25 teams and the winner of the Pac 10 and Big East? That is a foolish comparison.

Yes you did most definitely tried to score a TD but didn't. LSU rushed for a no gain, then lost a yard before the LSU coaches decided not to take a chance on not scoring on the Bama defense, and then kicked.

quote:

1st and Goal at ALA 7 Kenny Hilliard rush for no gain to the Alab 7.
2nd and Goal at ALA 7 Spencer Ware rush for a loss of 1 yard to the Alab 8.
3rd and Goal at ALA 8 Timeout ALABAMA, clock 15:00.
3rd and Goal at ALA 8 Drew Alleman 25 yard field goal GOOD.
