re: Saban: I had a bad feeling after seeing the low energy of the team before LSU game

a) No offense, but maybe playing such a weak schedule had them unprepared for a team of comparable talent

It probably didn't help, but like I said, we showed similar issues earlier this season. Part of it is just having so many true freshmen playing. Part of it is that we didn't do a good job of adjusting to help them. And part of it is LSU is the best offense in the country.

b) LSU"s defensive scheme gave them fits in the 1st half. In the 2nd half they adjusted some.

I don't think the offense was tight or anxious or whatever, I just think Aranda has a few nice wrinkles and we stubbed our toe a bit. Hat tip to Aranda. He stole 2-3 possessions and basically won the game.
