The Duke of Wellington said about Napoleon at Waterloo, "They came at us in the same old way and we defeated them in the same old way." Definitely applies to LSU's game plan that night. Every time the 1/9 game comes up I think of the Iron Duke's quote.

Aside from passing more on first down, Alabama's game plan wasn't all that different from the first game either. The biggest difference between those two games was the fact that we didn't commit as many self-induced mistakes once we got inside the 30-yard line.
In that first game, especially in the first half, there were multiple drives where Alabama pushed inside the 30-yard line. But penalties, poor play calling, and ill-time sacks/tackles for loss hurt us in the early going. This led to much longer field goal attempts.
In that second game, we stalled inside the 30 just like we did in the first game. The only difference, however, is that we didn't do anything self-inflicting to push us back.
