Our intensity level was not there

We looked shell shocked after the first play on offense. Bama came ready to play and LSU did not and it showed. I was actually worried about our team coming out too fired up and making mistakes, never dreamed they wouldn't match the intensity level with Alabama. This is just a puzzling as the gameplan.

I think it all has to do with how each team is coached. Saban demands excellence....miles has a want for excellence (I think...maybe not).

Saban's team lost to Ole Miss....shite happens. They played a lot better than we did and have a better team.

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.

Cobra or mongoose. Which represents the Bama philosophy? Which the LSU?
What does "the brook trout look" or sitting ducks or deer in the headlights suggest about LSU on Saturday?

Maybe the players had no confidence in the game plan.

Saban is more of a weasel....a winning weasel.

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.

with 2 weeks to prepare mind you.

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.

All I want to know is, is what was said during the pre game speech. What could Les had said to make our guys come out and play as soft as raggedy Ann. How were they not running out of that tunnel with their hair on fire!

Good point. Even when we made a good play there was little celebration. When Jamal Adams is making tackles behind the line of scrimmage, everyone just gets up and goes back to the sideline. Where is Coach O and the Wild Boys? Is he trying to be calm to angle for another head coaching job? Where is the intensity?
Where are the LSU Tigers?

Miles held em back too much in the tunnel

The players adopt the mentality of their coach.

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.

I think we fed off the inept offense. When LSU made that run in the second half the defense came to life. I knew we were in trouble when BH threw that first pass five feet over recs head. Reminded me of auburn game last year. Stage still a little big for BH.

The DL were the only ones that played with intensity. Coker was under a lot of pressure. However our LBs are coachednby BDP and our DBs are still patting themselves on the back for the accomplishments of other DBs in LSUs past.
