why this is the worst defense of his tenure
You do realize we lost two key components to this defense before the season even started right? Or have you been living under a rock?

It's been clear for a while that Saban is done. He's already been slipping on the recruiting trail which is why this is the worst defense of his tenure. That, and shitty coordinator hires like Golding and Sark.

And the depth is abysmal. That's recruiting, which is Saban's strength.
We need to be honest with ourselves. It's over. The fluke NC in 2017 pulled the wool over a lot of people's eyes.

3)Next year without Burrows LSU is back to losing 2-3 games per year. Bama will just reload and keep stomping arse as long as Saban is there.
Please point out one example of how Tuna's injured ankle hurt his performance.

Absolutely

Not to side track the thread but bama had td plays of 80 (punt return), 65 (trick play to smith), and 85. Two of which will be nearly impossible to duplicate.

I’m not trying to b a dick here but stating logic...it’s not going to be quite that easy...but hey, good luck with your assessment...

If we a shot we're going to win the Natty this year.

quote:Yeah, at LSU. Ensminger took the OC job as a favor to Coach O after the Matt Canada disaster. He begrudgingly took the job, but wanted to do Coach O a solid so as to not selfishly leave the program in a bind. You can watch his press conference that announces him as the Offensive Coordinator and pick up on that.
Dude will be an OC somewhere
Joe Brady was really the unofficial OC intern this season. You can bet your arse that he will make upwards of $1.2 million after the season. There is talk in the local news here already of that.
What is so cool about the Joe Brady thing, is what I said was all along is a strength of Coach O. Coach O has been around with some pretty big gigs, the New Orleans Saints being one of them. The man has connections. When we hired Brady from the Saints, it was probably in the works with some phone calls that happened between O and Sean Payton. I like that Coach O said "frick you" to the college level, and went straight up professional when it comes to upgrading the offense.
Even as a Bama fan, you have to admit that was some good shite. On level of how Saban makes hires.

After the game the other night Tua was practically walking on one leg.
If he was so hurt that he could barely walk on the leg, but puts up 400 yards passing...come on...
Jacob Hester said on the radio that he was on the field and watched Tua the entire game, with a slight limp. But as soon as the whistle blew, you would have sworn he broke a bone in his leg with the way he was limping.

Does this loss feel different than the others over the years?
No, it feels more acceptable because 1. LSU is a playoff caliber team, and 2. We came out in the 2nd half fighting, and almost came back, as opposed to laying down like against Clemson.
I think a very large difference between the 2 teams last Saturday was that LSU had been battle-tested, and had already played in 3 big, prime-time games against teams with remotely similar talent.
Saturday was Alabama's first contest of the year against a team with talent even remotely close to ours, and it happened to be against a team with a great offense.
And it showed in the first half. Our guys played tight, and we made unforced errors on both sides of the ball, and Burrow made us pay, as he has done all season.
The second half we seemed more adjusted, and the shell shock factor wasn't there anymore, and we scored 28 points to LSU's 13 in the second half. It was a great game, but LSU has been playing in these games throughout the season, so they made the plays that they needed to win the game. That's just my take anyway.
quote:
Does this feel like a talent rich team that’s always competed with one arm behind their back bc of their offensive philosophy has now broken free and is primed to challenge you on the field, the recruiting trail, etc?
Ehh, we'll see. Its not like LSU hasn't challenged us on the field consistently. Our games are usually close, and this one was no different. And LSU has always challenged us on the recruiting trail.
I guess the big question is how long is Brady going to stay an assistant at LSU? Burrow won't be there next year. How good is Miles Brennan? CEH might go pro. How many WRs are yall losing?
Brady with Burrow was the obvious reason for the stark turnaround from last year to this year.

The old Saban made those hires. Not anymore.
But frankly I refuse to believe that Brady is such a genius that he could turn a QB that got shut out at home in this game last year into Joe Montana. If Bama's D wasn't soft as frick we'd have won. That's coaching and recruiting. There's no excuse for losing to Ed fricking Orgeron in the biggest game of the year at home. None.

Nobody is saying that Brady is a genius. But he spent a little time with Sean Payton. And if you've watched the Saints play over the last 15 years, you'd notice that the offense is one of distributing the ball around to numerous receivers, running backs, fullbacks, and spreading the field open. Anybody who chooses a Saints receiver in fantasy can attest to that.
What do you see when you watch LSU this year? The same damn thing. It's the same offense, chief. It's not a genius thing, but it's hard to stop.
I don't give a shite how good of a coordinator you are, give me a professional vs a college coordinator any day of the week.
The NFL is an entirely different animal.
ETA: and if you want to talk about unusually soft defense, let's talk about LSU this year in the same boat. Bama is damn lucky that LSU has a soft defense too, or it would have been a blowout. And then all talk of a "possible playoff team" is out the fricking window.

Auburn kept it in check. If Nix didn't shite the bed they might have won, and that was in Tiger Stadium.
So dumbfrick high school coach Gus Malzhan and Ed "Rosy Finch Boyz" Orgeron are making better staff hires and recruiting better than Saban is now? It sure seems that way. We're fricked and the entire fanbase wants to whistle past the graveyard. Well, enjoy the new 3 Mikes era. You deserve it.

No, not for me anyway. We have lost to good teams before. Alabama will adjust, get better, recruit to fill needs, etc. and be right back in the hunt for the foreseeable future.
LSU has a new offensive philosophy, of course, and that presents new challenges. However, I feel like LSU has always had the talent to basically match Alabama and l believe Alabama will be better defensively in the future when they play LSU.
I give LSU tons of credit. Great team, great QB, great coaching staff, etc. I don't believe this was some "changing of the guard" loss, though.
Those are my honest, non-melt views.

So there’s no way LSU ever gets a good QB again?
Alabama will never lose again?
Salty after day 4. Got it
