Death Valley makes it extremely difficult for QBs to operate

When you're a starting QB playing in front of 100,000 screaming fans, how in the hell do you know who they're screaming for when you're on the field, anyway? Loud noise is loud noise, whether you're home or away. The notion that somehow the 100,000 screaming in Tiger Stadium is somehow especially intimidating to Alabama just continues to be proven to be a myth, over snd over again. A visiting player can feed off the crowd just as much as a home player.

To be fair the crowd noise did cause confusion on a couple of plays, caused multiple false starts that I believe stalled a drive and like too have got our QB killed when the LSU DE didnt hear the whistle.

Eta: it kept 9 in the game for LSU. 2 weeks ago he would have been ejected for the hit in the end zone. The correct call was made IMO, it was a good clean hit.
