on account of the freshman on defense

LSU had several freshmen on defense in the second half when Alabama was trying to make their comeback:.

Stingley
Brooks
Ward
Flott
Ika

Divinity was out, Harris has been out, Delpit played hurt. Stingley and Brooks are freshmen starters due to previous injuries/departures. I can understand fans of a team as deep and talented as Alabama's might give your statement more credence, but most teams often have to play more freshmen by November due to injuries - and usually their freshmen aren't as highly ranked as Alabama's.

"Freshmen" ain't it.

Saban's just not that great of a game day coach. If his system doesn't have players ready to go by game day, he could be in for trouble.

'....which is probably why they couldn't stop us in the second half...

but I would agree with you that the freshman excuse isn't that viable at this point in the season, in this particular game at least. The players the played the worst on defense last Saturday were upperclassmen.
