How could you have arguably one of the greatest seasons of all time, and not cross the 50 yard line in the NC to team you already beat? Still thinking about that one.

There were a lot of factors that contributed to that debacle,not the list of which was a well prepared Alabama team.

Their offense had some flaws the entire year, mostly because Jefferson was wildly inconsistent at QB. They just played a more motivated Alabama team with one of the greatest defensive units to ever play football, and the offense got absolutely derailed. Their defense played very well in that game, they just cracked after being put out to dry over and over again.

But you're right. All that being said, that 2011 LSU team had a swagger about them all year. They never seemed to have that swagger in the national title game that year, for whatever reason. Looked like they didn't want to be there.

We weren't a much better team than Alabama in November. Couple that with the fact that there was a locker room fall out, and a team divide, and you get a completely absent effort.

If Auburn played Bama tomorrow, then Im not sure Auburn would even cross the 50 yard line once. Its hard to beat a good team twice. Especially when Jefferson is your QB.

First of all, Alabama should never have been in that game. Oklahoma State was the better team. They had way more time to prepare due to not having to play a conference championship game, which is extremely unfair and wouldn't probably be ethical if not for one of Saban's friends being the NCAA President.

We crossed the 50 a number of times...on defense, but still, we crossed it!

I still haven't seen the game, I got summoned to the hospital during it and haven't ever watched a replay. It's for the best

What is so puzzling? They got face raped by a superior team.

Your team is in the BCSCG and this is what's on your mind?

If we played again, do you really think it would be any different?
