although even there it was very close on the scoreboard into the 3rd quarter. I call 12-0 still close but fully admit things were very much in Bama's control that night.
What's crazy about that game is as bad as it was for most of the game, we had a great chance to make it a 1 score game late in the third. Just after we crossed mid field for the only time, Landry was wide open on a third down throw that would have been a TD had JJ been able to get it there. Hard to imagine it could have been a 15-7 game and more than a quarter to go.

The truth is that talent wise LSU is right there with Alabama.
Alabama's edge comes from consistency, both in terms of play and coaching.
LSU is way more likely play up for a great team and down for a poor team. The coaching is also more sporadic, with ultra conservative game plan one week and ultra aggressive borderline reckless the next.
For a team to play with and beat Alabama they have to play their best possible game, and LSU normally does that against Alabama. If you look at the past 5 years Alabama has lost 7 games and every one was to a highly ranked, usually undefeated team and 6 of them were super close games.
Long story short, Alabama and LSU have similiar ceilings but Alabama stays up at their ceiling pretty much every week, LSU is way more likely to come out and lay an egg for unknown reasons.
