Well, as I said in the Hangar's pick 'em game chatter thread, unless they are playing teams where my heart rules my head, I root for the Saints and LSU otherwise. In the SEC, I pull for LSU after the Gators, so...

Was a great defensive game, the teams choked the hell out of one another. A game doesn't have to be 41 - 39 to be a good game.Vraith wrote:If by that you meant thisSunbaneglasses wrote:LSU v.s Bama is going to be epic.you may have been correct...what it wasn't was a decent football game, or something peeps will remember for a long time.from epos "word, story, poem,

You saw Miles outcoach Saban tonight.Exnihilotto2 wrote:Jel, you can't tell me that you honestly expect Miles to outcoach Saban, do you? Bama hasn't done or shown a damn thing all year long, they haven't had to, they've steamrolled everyone anyway. But you better believe they'll be showing something to LSU for the first time.

I thought it was a very good defensive battle. Saban's mismanagement of the last 2 1/2 or so minutes of regulation, and his decision to go for three field goals instead of punting in the first quarter are what cost him the game.

It doesn't, true. But it seemed to me [though I was distracted/multi-tasking so perhaps skewed perspective] more uninspired offense than pumped up D.Sunbaneglasses wrote: Was a great defensive game, the teams choked the hell out of one another. A game doesn't have to be 41 - 39 to be a good game.

This is my first opportunity to post here since the 'Game of the Century'. It was a great game. A couple of things -jelerak wrote:this forum is open for comments...
???
- I've questioned LSU's toughness in the past. Not this year. They have a deep, talented, tough team. It was obvious that they had superior depth to Bama all over the field to go along with similar talent.
- Never been a fan of Jordan Jefferson. His ability to move the ball out of the option won the game for LSU though. Well, that and Bama's kicker. Jefferson has come a long way as a passer.
- I was disappointed for Jarrett Lee. I think Miles basically screwed him by sitting him for an hour immediately after his pic. That is the precisely wrong way to handle a QB's confidence. You have to throw him back on the horse immediately and dial up a short pass or two to get him settled back down. That said, LSU did not need any QB heroics, they just had to hang around to pick up the pieces of Bama's offensive and ST miscues.
- Other than screwing Jarrett Lee, Miles called a decent game. I was waiting for him to give it away with a screwball fake field goal or something but he restrained himself. He was obviously listening to his gut by leaving Jefferson in there, and his gut did not fail him. Still, I have a hard time classifying this as "outcoaching" Saban.
- It's a bit startling to see such piss poor special teams from a coach as revered as Saban.
- Bama's one great trick play was a pass from Maze to the TE. This speaks volumes about Bama's lack of confidence in A.J. McCarron.
- I had thought that Bama was holding back all year. It turns out that Bama was hiding their QB all year. You cannot win big games without a QB capable of making plays during crunch time. Although Bama almost did. You cannot cultivate a QB capable of making crunch time plays without asking him to work through the scenario in a live game on occassion before you get to the big game.
- I think we have discovered the Achilles' heel of Saban teams: Nick Saban hates QBs. If you think about it, it kind of makes sense, since he is a former DB who is revered as a defensive guru. He structures his teams to be independent of QB decision making; QBs are asked to quietly hand off the football and they better be damn sure to not make a mistake during the handful of meaningful passes they throw per game if they don't want the Wrath of Saban unleashed. If Bama executes perfectly this strategy works. However if they do not execute perfectly, the QB is completely unprepared to provide any kind of spark or heroics to save the game. AJ McCarron's confidence is as dead as Dillinger, and Saban killed it. Or more truly, never let it live in the first place.
- It doesn't even need to be said that any one of a number of things being different would have given Bama the game. I work with some fans that are crying about the 'interception' at the goal line -- and it does look like he was down, at least in the picture they show me.
- If LSU can get past Arkansas unscathed, and I'm not sure that they can, they will cruise to the MNC.
LSU needs to watch it this week...at Ole Miss. This is a classic trap game scenario, right before what will now be the biggest game for LSU this season with Arkansas coming to Death Valley the day after Thanksgiving.
So far a pretty good resume, though...beating both Oregon and 'Bama to be where we are right now.
Should we make it to Atlanta, Georgia will be tough as it will be like a home game for them.
...we gotta get there first.
