That's not why we lost. We lost because, like almost every team, we succeed by running the ball. This is what makes our offense go, and that's what protects our talented but thin defensive front seven.

Bama's great strength is their ability to dominate a power running game. The big question going into this game was could they stop LSU without cheating safeties up. The answer was a resounding yes. After that, nothing else mattered. Brandon Harris is not yet an accomplished enough QB to shoulder the offense. If we had Dak, maybe.

A good coach adapts his game plan. An arrogant coach thinks his way is the only way. Which type of coach do we have?

I agree with your account but emptions play a huge role in football. When you line up against a team with equal or better talent you better jacked up and ready to go to war. LSU did not look like they were. They did not have the eye of the tiger, no pun intended.

Yeah, and in 2011, the spark was a big play from our defense and special teams and when it didn't happen, Miles did not know what to do. This year it is Fournette breaking a long one or deep passes for big games. Take whatever our "thing" is that year away and Miles spends the entire game wondering what happened.

We are ALWAYS playing in just one or two dimensions and we have no ability to adjust or do multiple things. The team is shell shocked if their "thing" doesn't work. Miles too. Actually, that all comes from the coach and it is related to pride/stubbornness.

Why do people keep parroting this BS. Bama did cheat the safeties up they just didn't show it at the snap. Watch the game again. On the snap their safeties are sprinting to the line where LF would be. That's why the safety was sitting in the hole so many times. It wasn't until we started running Harris that they stopped doing that. Then we stopped running Harris. Bama had 8 and 9 men in the box without showing it to LSU give them credit for that. But we made no adjustments to it.
