This is what always kills me about LSU complaints against Chavis. Chavis holds Bama far below their scoring average, gets virtually no help from his offense, and who do many (most?) LSU fans blame for the losses? Why, Chavis, of course!
I get that losing close games is a heart-breaker. But your anger should be directed at the offense that spent it's time looking like a monkey fricking a football.

Chavis got 435 yards and 17 points of help against Alabama in 2012. Alabama was averaging 250 yards allowed and 10.9 points per game in 2012. They allowed 173 yards passing per game, Mettenberger threw for 296. They allowed 76 rushing yards a game. LSU nearly doubled that and ran for 139. The offense gave Chavis a lead in the 4th quarter on a Mettenberger TD pass to Jarvis Landry. Alabama got the ball with 1:34 left on the lock on the 28 yard line. It took them all of 43 seconds to take the lead. That's on John Chavis, I'm sorry.
