Why can't LSU beat Alabama in Death Valley?

Death Valley is considered the pinnacle of tough places to play. Why does every other team crumble in the Valley and Alabama just runs the place? I may be wrong, but I believe LSU has only beaten Alabama in DV 4 times in the past 44 YEARS.


I believe I read in an article sometime before the 2014 game that said Alabama has a better record in Tiger Stadium percentage wise than the Tigers do themselves. That stat may have changed but it's still astonishing.


To all the other SEC schools and their fans I have to ask. Has Death Valley historically been a problem for your school?

They had the games all but won in 2012 and 2014 in BR. Thanks Chavis. Thanks Ritter.

2012 was an arse whipping delivered by LSU. I still don't understand what happened

Hmmm. Don't know. I guess 2000, 2004, 2006, 2010 like never happened.
FWIW, the 2008, 2012, and 2014 games in Death Valley were all in OT and/or were decided in the final seconds.

Alabama has not beaten LSU decisively in Tiger Stadium in 13 years. Meanwhile, LSU has beaten Alabama decisively in Bryant-Denny in: 2001 and 2003 and beaten them in closer games in 2005, 2007, and 2011.

Why has LSU won 6 of the last 9 in Tuscaloosa?

If LSU had a handful more inbound tackles late in the 4th quarter against Alabama, the story would be different.

That is all Chavis fault.

It has been almost seven years since a team who was not ranked number 1 in said season won in tiger stadium.

2009 Florida was ranked 1 in said year
2012 bama was ranked 1 in said year
2014 bama was ranked 1 in said year.
2014 state was ranked 1 in said year.

All other teams have lost in tiger stadium for almost 7 years

Death Valley has become pretty overrated over the years.

The same reason lsu has won 7 of the last 11 in BDS. The road team plays well, as of late , in this series.
