The game last night was not lost on the field as much as it was lost...

...over the last 3 February's where Bama has crushed us in defensive line recruiting. LSU either whiffed, mis-evaluated or lost to attrition way too many d-line recruits and THAT is why we were embarrassed up and down the field last night. There is no Brockers, Logan, Nevis or Dorsey on this team. Sure LaCouture and Godchaux are nice players but we need two or 3 more just as good waiting behind them. Bama has that, we don't and it showed up in the form a good back going over 200 while our great back got 40ish.

Coach O will hopefully turn around the fortunes of our dline recruiting but if he doesn't expect more of the same year after year until LSU closes the talent gap and depth in the trenches.

As a side note I was also extremely disappointed in our oline. Terrible time for them to turn in their worst game of the year.

This defensive line played plenty well enough last night to win outside of being tired from being hung out to dry last night. The offense consistently put them right back on the field all night! Miles didn't have his team ready, had a shite gameplan, and the o line got their shite pushed in.

Their performance was far worse than the DL and on paper, it was the best OL LSU has seen since I can remember...

Our defensive line played fine. Actually pretty well if you ask me.

LSU has more players in the NFL than any other college football team. Ole Miss has beaten Bama two years in a row and Tennessee was ahead of them with five minutes in the 4th quarter this year (and outrushed them for the game).

We have a lot of talent too, but we are more predictable than any team out there on offense and this is the main reason we don't beat Bama and couldn't score more than 17 on them with a QB, two WRs and a RB that have all started in the NFL.

Bama has crushed Ole Miss and Tennessee and other teams far worse in Feb, yet for some odd arse reason, they seem to expose Bama at times making them look vulnerable.

LSU seems to be the only team that Bama becomes a superhuman monstrosity rendering all success virtually impossible in this universe and the next.

This is a solid post your not being negative just realistic. The other main problem that won't change until Les leaves is he has a "hard on" fantasy bout playing 3 yards and a cloud of dust football against Saban. We ran out of spread nd used multiple formations against SC and Auburn, but he refuses to do that against most teams.
