Wow. Tough crowd. I do think LSU played better for a large portion of the game similar to Alabama outplaying LSU the majority of the game in the LSU 9-6 victory last year.

The way I saw last night:

-Alabama did not have a coaching issue; it was an execution problem.
-AJ McCarron missed open receivers for the majority of the game, and it wasn't because of pressure from the LSU DL.
-Alabama averaged 6.6 YPC rushing vs LSU avg. of 2.8
-OL completely dominated LSU DL
-LSU's Mett had the game of his life to date. Perhaps the lights have finally come on because the guy has some great tools
-LSU exposed some issues in the Alabama secondary
-LSU OL played well against the DL
-Jeremy Hill is really good. The FR RBs for both teams are going to be fun to watch. Both will go pro after their junior years.
-LSU appeared to play their best game while Alabama had probably their worst game from an execution standpoint.
-LSU would the turnover battle
-I thought LSU made a poor decision on the fake punt. Alabama was ready, but overall the 3 pts was not a gimme as it would have been a career long
-I thought the onsides kick was a thing of beauty. It sucks for LSU that it hadn't quite gone 10 yds.
-LSU got some good breaks the biggest being their only turnover not being a live play due to a false start
-LSU fans were as wild as I have ever seen them. Great job by the fans.
