LSU v Alabama

[RovingDisco]

Roll tide yall! I am just going to chill here in north alabama with a good cold yeungling.

 

[calcagno45]

That a nice first TD!

 

[dustyk70]

AND missed fieldgoal....

 

[jbadjones]

They deserved to lose. That was horrible all the way around.

 

[JHenley17]

Defense just broke down in the last two drives. Add in that **** squib kick and a qb that can't make a play if it doesn't involve a run and this is where we get.

At least it was another nail biter. Even with the loss, it kept me glued, and I'm not a huge football guy.

The only thing worse than losing? Listening to these two clowns announce...

Anyone familiar with the rule that gave Bama the first down on the 6 after the PF in OT?

 

[RedOne451]

Coach without a plan and a QB without a clue...sounds familiar.

Yes! Verne is way past his prime. Not objective in the least like a good commentator should be. Why did we have to get him for this prime time game? He should be confined to the nursing home by 7 pm.

There was a good game plan. How do you think they held them to such a low score in regulation?
There were key drops for the receivers. That is not the fault of the QB.
Did you even watch the game?

 

[Gus McCrae]

Fun game to watch. Unfortunately, LSU's mistakes on the field is really what cost them.

For a whole lot of fun, read the posts on tigerdroppings.

Maybe him and Lou Holtz can share a room?

Yes I did. From the coin toss at overTime you see a huge difference between a team with a plan and one that is in chaos. Alabama was prepared for overtime LSU wasn't.

Les Miles should tell Chevas and Cameron to coach the remaining two games while he scours the country for a quarterback.

Game plan for Bama:

Establish the run..........Check
Contain Cooper............Check
Contain Sims...............Check
Get fans involved.........Check

When you can run on a top ranked running defense, and your defense contains the most prolific receiver in the country, you should win. However, when you have a mediocre quarterback; you will always be in a position to NOT WIN!

BTW: Third quarter Time of Possession: LSU 13:20, Alabama 1:40. LSU 24 plays, Alabama 5

And someone should see if the LSU Kicker bet the game. That was almost impossible without actually trying.

I would rather dig holes in July, than have to listen to those two idiots. Gary openly admits that he is an Alabama fan and that's fine, but I watched an SEC game without Alabama and all he talked about was bama.

It's so hard to win with a one dimensional offense. LSU had no passing game, and it bit them hard.

....But the bitter side of me will ALWAYS believe that personal foul call at the 6 yard line was horrendous. You don't call that penalty the entire game when BOTH TEAMS are jawing and shoving each other- yet you throw the flag at the most critical moment in the game???? Come the hell on. If anything, the correct call would have been offsetting penalties.


So to the refs:

Not too mention the kick that was downed on the one but called a touchback

Agreed. Sure- we can point to the dropped passes, and odd decision to try and pass in OT when it simply was not working. That certainly was a big part of why LSU didn't already have the game in hand. Yet, Yeldon handed them the game on that fumble. And then.....Poof!

But no- there is no doubt in my mind the officiating was absolutely terrible in the last minutes of that game- right when it matter the most.

I haven't confirmed it myself but I read that two of the refs, including the head referee, are Bama grads

While I abhor referees influencing an outcome of a game; truth is, LSU should not have been in a position to have that penalty affect them. They simply didn't possess the basic offensive needed to close out a game.

The 3rd quarter was so dominated by LSU they should have crushed the spirit of Alabama. When you have the ball that much in a quarter and can only score 3 points, you are going to lose!

Here is the time of possession for both of them: Possession Alabama 21:44 LSU 38:16

There is nothing else to say. You are at home, you controlled the clock, you established the run, you contained Sims and Cooper! And you lose?
