re: The Crimson Tide weren't ready for this stage

LSU was the better team. Bama has played a very soft schedule. LSU has closed the line of scrimmage talent GAP enough such that the game is about in game execution. Instead of Bama overwhelming LSU on the line of scrimmage.

LSU QB. WR and RB and scheme every bit as good as Bama.

The good news is that on the line of scrimmage this is the lowest talent level for LSU for the next few years.

Bama no longer has an analyst advantage. Although Bama film/analyst/tendency work enabled them to jump our snap count. And Bama tricked us on a check with me deep ball for a TD. Bama no longer has a national recruiting advantage. Bama no longer has an offensive scheme advantage. Think about it. Punt return and a trick play and a meaningless late TD.
