Do you think Alabama's offense played to their potential on 11/5/11? It took LSU overtime to beat Alabama's B or C game despite your Special Teams and defense playing better.


Are we making excuses now? LSU actually got in the red zone, while Bama was trying 50 yd field goals.

I would argue that the coaches did. Lee had a better track record at winning games from behind. Ask UT and UF's 2010 teams about his clutch passing late in the game. To say that Lee couldn't have made a difference is irrelevant considering we will never know.

At least you acknowledge that LSU was not put away until late in the game.

Like I said it is what it is.

I've already stated that your team played better.
LSU scored a field goal on your red zone trips. Let's reexamine how you got there.
1. Morris Claiborne interception return.
2. Blown coverage. Review the highlight. 1 Alabama defender was chasing two receivers. The defensive back had his man covered. Who was supposed to cover the wide open, free man? Yeah. I guess LSU forced the blown assignment.
3. OT. You've already got a short field provided to you. I know your running back barely stepped out of bounds after that late pitch but don't act like you drove all the way down the field for the game winning field goal.

Neither team found the end zone. LSU's field goals were the result of a busted assignment, an interception return, and a good play on a field shortened by it being overtime.

Hmm, doesn't appear either team was moving up and down the field.
