As a single game, it wasn't as bad as the Kick 6 or the Camback, but it'd probably come right after those 2. In the two games against Auburn, I was very disappointed in how we finished; against y'all, I was disappointed with how we started, but was pleased with how we came back, even though we came up short...
As good as Joe Burrow played, I was even more impressed with Edwards-Helaire. That dude was unstoppable, we could not tackle him. There were two moments when I thought we had at least a chance to come back and he shut the door both times. The first time we got back to within one score, there was a 3rd and 10 and he caught a pass in the flats and caused a miss tackle or two and got the first down. And then at the end, he ran straight up our gut for 11 or 12 yards, allowing LSU to run out the clock. Y'all have had some great backs but that's the best game I've seen by an LSU RB against Bama since Saban's been there...

If Saban played an obviously injured Tua, and jacked him up on drugs to mask his pain, then Saban needs to be called on the carpet and disciplined by the AD and university president. Maybe the SEC and NCAA needs to investigate.
Didn't they forego a concussion protocol on a Bama WR that went limp after he was hit helmet to helmet in the Tenn game? The announcers even mentioned it. They tossed the defender for targeting.

Just curious here, but why leave out the Auburn wins against Bama during that time frame? Were those losses different somehow?

At some point Bama is going to have to accept the fact that a dinged up Tua is 100% Tua. Like LSU fans have done with Rashard Lawrence
Maybe but we have 3 more weeks before the AU game and that may be enough to get him all the way back. We need to win big so he better be.

Wtf game did you watch last year. Tua had a brace on his knee the whole game.
Players play with a brace all the time. Blaming the loss on an injured Tua is weak. Man up and accept defeat.

So if he’s healthy how much better can he play than 400+ yds and 4 tds?
Are y’all whistling past the graveyard with that defense and putting too much stock in Tuas ankle? The guy played a heck of a game

ther play bama over OSU or Clemson if we’re being honest
I get Ohio State because I’d rather play LSU if roles were reversed. I think Ohio State is in another level right now BUT Clemson doesn’t scare me as a Bama fan in the least. I have been saying Ohio State is the best team in the nation in my opinion. IF Bama got into the playoff and managed to beat LSU they’re not beating Ohio state. I really believe they’re that good this year and I’m shocked. I expected a slow death spiral after Urban left.

No.
Ole Miss loss was a slap in the face. Clemson (last January) was a simple arse-whipping.
LSU loss was a matter of LSU executing plays on a more consistent basis.
LSU out played Alabama. I'm in no way inclined to believe the sky is falling.

I don't think it is either. Bama is ridiculously dangerous. My biggest concern had been the ability of your WRs to take a short pass and take it to the house. We've struggled all season with tackling in space and missed tackles and it burned us again Saturday. Stingley had two horrible FR moments and Delpit showed what happens when you don't practice for 2 straight weeks leading up to the game. He missed at least 4-5 tackles that either could have ended drives or gave up large chunks of yards.
If there does happen to be a rematch I think we clean those up, but Bama will still have significant success passing.

Played a good team, needed to play a good game but instead played poorly and paid the price.
As odd as it may sound, I feel better about the strength of the team after than I did before. Much like the Ole Miss 5 fumble game a few years ago.
Although unlike Ole Miss that just had a great game, LSU is just a good team so I don't expect LSU to shite the bed like Ole Miss did that year.
Grats.

Not really - they can still (and probably will) finish with only 1 loss and ranked in the top 5 - regardless of the playoffs.
What hurts Bama this year - and why the playoffs may be out of reach - is just how horrible the rest of the SEC West (which we used to brag was the best “conference” in and of itself not too long ago) is now. Think about it, Tennessee may go down as being the best SEC team Bama played outside of LSU and maybe Auburn. That says a lot.
Back to your question. If a team gets dramatically good (and Burrow is) QB play, they can beat Bama. Look at all the games they have lost over the years and most, if not all, are due to over-the-top and amazing QB play that day.
That, on top of the defensive drop (specifically in the middle and in coaching) the last year adds up to a loss.
The bad play by the D has been significant though and causes most of us worry more than anything. Bama always won with a field general at LB (look at the ones who are or have been in the pros the last few years). Recruiting studs recently turned into duds. When you have two freshman (one a converted DB) playing over the 1/2 dozen 4 & 5 star LBers you’ve recruited, you’ve got some issues.

But this is something that occurs with every top team. Bama fans almost universally chide LSU as a team that has historically underperformed their talent level. We show every sign of reversing that trend.
Just seems like sour grapes to say LSU will not be a threat next year.
LSU has underperformed their talent level because of QB play though. That is might point. Burrow and Brady made that different this year. Brennan could step right in and be successful-I'm not saying that he won't be. Just saying that Burrow is a special player, and his loss will surely be felt.
and LSU has always been a threat. Just because we'd won 8 in a row didn't mean that LSU wasn't a "threat" to us every year. Despite what kind of idiotic shite talk might have conveyed that opinion over the last 8 years, LSU has always been the biggest threat. They were just a much bigger threat this season because yall have an incredible QB and offense.

None of the above mentioned players plays defense for Bama.
no, but our defense will be more experienced next year, and should be better. Tons of freshman were thrown out there this year on our D.

Jefferson is the only WR that LSU will be losing from the ones that carved Bama arse up. Should return majority of the OL also and we get to add the No. 1 WR class in the nation coming in. So it will be a long day/night for Bama in Tiger Stadium next year.
I just can't see Brennan being as close to as dominant as Burrow, even with the Brady and the WRs. I mean, do you truly believe that he will? I will eat crow if I am wrong.

Here are 2 hard facts you're not going to like.
1) With a healthy Tua we win that game.
2) If you're honest with yourself you know damn well you don't want a rematch. Tua will probably be 100% by PO time. That's why you guys are lobbying to keep us out.
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.
So no, it doesn't feel different. Feels just like 2011 LSU, 2012 Tx A&M, or 2016 Ole Miss. If we get a shot we're going to win the Natty this year.
This may be the most typical Gump post I’ve ever seen on here.

Well I mean, what did you see in last years game that made you think burrow doing what he did this year at BDs was possible?
The system might be a huge part and that system isn’t graduating

I was impressed with Burrow as far back as last year. I said plenty of times on this board how good I thought that he was.
Clearly, no one saw him performing like he has this year, but the toughness, grit, football IQ, and arm strength was there last year for Burrow as well.
What wasn't there last year for Burrow were WRs who consistently caught the ball, a badass player caller, and an Oline that protected him consistently. And he was acclimating to big boy football in the SEC.

I guess it just depends how much you want to attribute to the system vs the player. I think that its a good debate, and we won't truly know until next season I suppose.

quote:Assuming you win out, Auburn will likely have 4 losses and be un-ranked for the final poll. Alabama would have NO WINS over ranked teams in the final regular season poll. How is that a playoff team? It can't be all "eye test" and no resume. Utah, Oregon, Oklahoma and Baylor should all get the final spot over Bama this year if they win out and capture their conference championship with 1 or fewer losses. The SEC Champ will get one spot. B1G Champ and Clemson will get the other two.
The current rules are to have 4 best teams in the PO and one of them, assuming we win out of course.

And the depth is abysmal. That's recruiting, which is Saban's strength.
I think Bama fully anticipated having Deonte Thompson (5th rounder), Mack Wilson (4th rounder) staying in school for their SR season given their draft grades.
I also think they anticipated having LaBryan Ray and Dylan Moses healthy. That's 4 starters they lost. I get the depth talking point, but let's not forget circumstances have changed a bit.

The key is sustainability. If you can continue to win without Burrow, we'll talk. Otherwise, you are just a flash in the pan.
