Blake Sims did not complete a pass longer than 24 yards; he was constantly off on the deep ball and missed a few wide open receivers. Alabama could not run the ball up the middle, so why keep trying? Griffith missed a field goal and Yeldon's unforced fumble setup LSU in scoring range. A C game is a game filled with plenty of mistakes and missed opportunities. LSU got about as much out of their quarterback, running game, defense, and special teams as they could realistically expect. Alabama did not.

I have to disagree with your opinion

I could use your argument to say LSU lost the game because it played its "D" game. What do I base this on?

Sims played better than Jennings
LSU had a better rushing game

Defenses were equal
Bama punting game was MUCH better than the LSU punt game

So breakdown is
Bama - 2
LSU - 1
Equal - 2

LSU played its "D" game
