This is what I don't understand. They think it was a rout/beat down but were allowed to jump out to a big lead due to our injured QB making two very atypical mistakes that gave LSU good field position and kinda put the game out of reach early. Despite all of our mistakes and LSU's God-level play in that game, we were still an onside kick away from taking the lead at the end.

injured QB

Gumps were on here predicting a 14 point win even with injured Tua.

It only became an excuse after the game.

Lol wut?

Like when they were looking to the sideline and gave up a long touchdown?

When they grabbed Waddle's facemask and slung him out into the open field?

Or when they were playing bump and run with a minute left and gave up another long touchdown?

Everyone wants to talk about Tua's fumble but it only gave LSU the ball at like their own 8 yard line, they still had to drive the length of the field.

No one remembers that Burrow gave Alabama a fumble with much better field position.

LSU did everything they could to give that game away, if they dont have the GOAT offense, they likely end up losing.

To pretend that LSU played lights out and poor little Bama staggered around and still only lost by 5 points is disingenuous at best. Moral victories I guess.
