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
Both Cooper and Quinn grew alligator arms during the 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
1

Was that a surprise? Compare their season's work.
quote:

LSU was not running the ball effectively though. More yards does not equal efficiency.
quote:

Both teams have more than one receiver. Some of the drops were partly on the quarterbacks.
quote:
Defenses were equal
Agreed.

I don't recall. Still how does all this make LSU's D game? What units played significantly worse than usual versus Alabama?
Alabama has a great punter. Alabama has a much better quarterback. Alabama's o-line isn't dominant. Those facts were well known before and after the game, so how you use them to argue that LSU had a D-game doesn't make sense.
