Penalties
LSU: 42 - 305 yards
Bama: 20 - 168 yards
Difference: +22 penalties for +137 yards lost, LSU
Turnovers Lost
LSU: 8
Bama: 3
Difference: +5 turnovers lost, LSU
this seems to be what most people have been complaining about, and those stats are not close

I agree completely, and those are not acceptable stats. The turnovers are bad, but 3 of them came today so the loss margin was only 2 before that. Not good to see, but not awful. I'm not excusing it either, but three lost fumbles, five overall, is a freak game. The penalties are ridiculous, and I'm not going to try to justify it.
What I'm trying to address is the "We're going to lose 3+ games", "Mettenberger isn't really an upgrade", and "LSU is not in the same league as Bama" morons. If you have the ability to rationally and without being emotionally crippled by stupidity analyze these stats realistically, it's incredibly obvious that the gap between these team lies solely in the mental areas. Penalties and turnovers are mental issues, but with an extremely young team, that's going to happen. I'm just not going to sit here and listen to such levels of idiocy.

There is one stat that isn't up there, and it is the eyeball stat. I've watched a lot of football (doesnt qualify me for anything) and I've followed LSU football very closely, and it has moved past just irritating or something that we can easily overcome, or just a "Miles" style of football.
It is crystal clear that the offensive scheme, the play calling, the execution, the discipline, and overall performance is one of the worst in college football (offense only) and that is unacceptable with LSU's talent and with how productive other offenses around the country (I'm not talking West Virginia level either). There is something fundamentally broken and Miles refuses to make a drastic move to address it. I would love to sit in with the coaches during film and just see what they are seeing and try and understand the rationalization.
You have to address the small failures in your organization at the bottom of the pyramid even if you haven't had a major event as a result (loss).
