LSU should have absolutely just beaten the breaks off his 2012 squad.

Have y'all ever stopped to consider that Alabama averaged 6.6 yards per carry? Mettenberger was picking Alabama apart while Lacy and Yeldon were finding good openings in the LSU rush defense. Alabama only rushed the ball 25 times; therein lies the problem. 2012 Alabama had a very physical O-line that was great at run-blocking, but the offense didn't play to its strengths versus LSU and almost lost. Even if LSU had defeated Alabama, there's no guarantee that your team would have defeated Georgia.
