Sometimes it is literally the way the ball bounces. We have been on the fortunate end. We now are on the short end. Sux but I love me some LSU and I love our players. You want to talk about playing with heart? We saw that tonight!

Unlike last season, we seem to struggle as we get closer to goal line. Grabbing yards between the 20's have never been much of a problem this season. We don't have the same caliber of o-line to allow us to just force the ball in through the ground and we don't have the big WR to serve as a jump ball threat.

Not to nitpick because I am really upset about our fans arguing with each other tonight but imo our O-Lines was absolutely dominant tonight. We had one bad series but besides that, that is probably the best front 7 in the nation and we had over 400 yards on them. More positives from this loss than any win we have had all year outside of maybe South Carolina.

This is our best o-line combination for the entire season since Chris Faulk went down. I don't think this o-line is as good as the one last season. The one from a year ago seemed to have gelled better and was oozing with experience until the national championship game. Hurst was not 100% in that game and JJ's inability to keep the defense honest with his arm made life extremely hard on the front 5. To take a quote from Miles, these guys are not as good as the team from last season but they have potential to become better by the end of the season.

Really...t-bob being driven in to our backfield 5 yards by everyteam....barksdale.oh my goodness last years line was terribble except for Faulk..let just start with how they didnt show up in NCG...no lets not they were just bad.Anybody missing Hurst.
The right side of the line is so much better... they were from the first game the two freshman started.Alexander and Turner what can you not say about these two saved our season..

Question is... would you call it like you see it if you lost. I've been there, easy to come and say things when you win. The bottom line is... LSU is better than bama. You have Saban and won because of Les Miles decisions. We have an anchor on us and you have nitro.... and we still can beat you at any given time.

You're only here because you're waking up with a win that's going to add another trophy to your already full case. If we had half an incentive to win trophies, you would either staying on your board today or flaming over here. Go to your board.

I don't know that I would say LSU is better...but the reason you THINK you played your worst game of the year is because you play a weak schedule and LSU is the first good team you have played all year. Boneheaded playcalling, penalties, and decisions were the only reason Bama wins...and oh by the way...we did that last night with 3 of our O-line starters out of the game. Bama has a good team...but if you lose your left and right tackle along with your right guard then you turn into a very mediocre offense...and McCarron might not last the season. Bama won the game...but better than LSU? I sure didn't see any evidence of that.

Each half was a different game. Bama easily won and dominated the first half 14-3. Lsu won the second half 14-7. Many mistakes by both teams. What about bama's fumble on LSU's 10 yard line, or our fumbled punt return to set lsu up with great field position? To say Bama didn't make mistakes or play a bad game is completely wrong.

We DID play our worst game. A lot of unforced mistakes that had nothing to do with LSU defense. The bad handoff on the 7 was a clear firstdown if not a TD. AJ overthrew several receivers including a wide open TD to Cooper. Etc, etc.
