Despite the yardage disparity in favor of LSU, every time a critical play came up, Bama made the play and we didn't. A very familiar feeling as an LSU fan.. Bama just has the mental edge on us.
It reminded me of the LSU-Arkansas baseball series. At times it feels effortless as an LSU fan, like no matter how good Arkansas is, no matter how many pro prospects they have, you can feel them tense up in the clutch when they play us.
I'm guessing that's what Bama football fans feel like watching their team play LSU

Gonna be honest, I never go into any SEC game with full confidence that Bama is going to win. 
Even when Saban was head coach, there is some paranoia with being a top team, always wondering if this is gonna be the game that will get us trapped.
But as for the LSU game, I still get anxiety about it. Even if the record shows that Bama dominates it, it never feels that way to me. But might just be me!

Lane really stepped on his dick in this one. Completely outcoached at every level and every turn. Congrats to bammers on the win.

Can't speak for anyone else but I go into every game feeling like we're probably going to win but against LSU, Georgia, and recently Tennessee I'm a little more nervous. I think its a mental thing with LSU...There have been several times I've felt they had the better team at Death Valley and they still lost. Sometimes in fantastic fashion....Not sure what that is.

They won in every single stat line that determines the winner.

After Miles won the natty and was competing on a level w/ Saban, it seemed like he wanted to 'ditch-the-tricks'. The Mad-Hatter became conservative yet never seemed to regain the competitive advantage consistently.
You might think the opposite w/ Kiffin but his explanation for 4th down decisions (and he knew he was under pressure to provide his thoughts), weren't really out of line. He was aggressive based on Bama's opening drive resulting in a field goal; thinking it was going to be a higher scoring game and needed to match tit for tat.
If only some of those decisions produced fruit, it may have been a different game.
I mean, at least it wasn't him calling the same endzone pass three times in a row (like when at USC), hoping no one would notice.

Same here. Even though Bama has historically owned the Bayou Bengals, they are always one of a handful of teams that you know Bama better pack a lunch if they plan to come out on top. Say what you will about Les Miles but his teams generally gave Bama all they could handle even when Bama pulled away late.

It has been a trend this year. As frustrating as the Wommack style of Defense can be and the Grubb playcalling at times, it seems to work. Coupled with good STs production, it is complementary football to a high degree when it is working.
Bama has successfully created opportunities, won field position and took advantage in a most efficient manner during SEC play.
Points per play single game averages for 2026 in SEC vs SEC games.

Absolutely.
After we went up 13-10, the next Bama drive was the loudest I've heard it in at least 10 years. The last thing I expected was the balloon getting popped like the Yeldon screen.. in the back of your mind you're like it's a new era, Saban's retired, we've finally got a smart coach, we're winning, we're at home.. 2 minutes later, Bama TD
what a turn of events man. But in the end, the Bama players expect to execute there. Not gonna lie, it's impressive.

Agree. My buddies were all cheering saying the same things." Sabans gone, we have a new coach, we're at home, ect..." I said, "boys, we've seen this movie before"

Lane either panics or tries too hard every time he plays Alabama.
Them going for all those 4th downs was absurd. Especially the one at their own 20 with like 9 minutes left.

2 minutes later, Bama TD what a turn of events man.

We've scored about 5 TD's on defense.

Complementary football is often times considered complementary.

Honestly every game is nerve wracking but I said last week knowing Kiffin will Kiffin at some point have me a lot of confidence. Playing LSU is always fun going back to when I first started watching, going back when Bert Jones was quarterback. Haven’t been lately but I think my first time to TS was like 1977. It’s crazy but I just always know will probably win. At least like 3 out of every 4

I feel like we are cursed when we play Bama at home. I always feel relaxed when we play in Tuscaloosa even when we don’t win there. I know people talk about 2012 Yeldon screen but that 1998 game will always give me ptsd. We had a 16-7 lead with 2 minutes and something seconds and bama throws a pass that was tipped by the db and falls to the bama wr hands and scores and they recover the onside kick and throw another pass that was tipped by the db and bama wr catches it for the game winner. We were finally gonna beat Bama at home for the first time since 1969 and Bama does what Bama does and it will forever be mental no matter how good or bad Bama is, they will have our number at home.
