The defense played awfully well against a very capable offensive line and a very quality quarterback, receiving core and running backs. Except for two drives, one long drive of 90 plus and then the last drive of the game, that defense was just tremendous. We went back and looked at every call from the last drive of the game. I don't think I would have changed the one. I don't think Chief (Defensive Coordinator John Chavis) would have changed the one.

As a former HS Football coach, with our dominance in the second half and Bama inept to get a first down, I would have milked the clock, made Saban use his timeouts and made them beat us with a TD. Having missed the field goal they still have to get into field goal range with no timeouts and 45 yards to kick a reasonalbe distance FG>.

If Bama was moving the ball on us in the second half I think Miles would have been more aggressive to get a game ending first down. That was not the case.

I watched Mike Belotti break it down on ESPNU last night, and he thought LSU's scheme was good, but Alabama executed perfectly against it. The coverage on the sidelines could have tightened up some. Otherwise, McCarron did an excellent job of finding his receivers quicky.

We weren't running a prevent D.

They completed 4 passes. On one pass, Simon played sh!teous technique and gave up a completion.

On the other, we blitzed and Mills was supposed to pick up the back out of the backfield. He makes contact with Yeldon, but when Yeldon briefly engages him, he thinks Yeldon will stay in.

He then rushes the passer, Yeldon releases easily, takes the screen, & does the rest himself.

Please stop with the Prevent Defense bullsh!t.

So if neither one changed a single call, then the loss is 100% on JC Copeland?

I can buy that.

Yeah I'm sorry. I get confused when DBs play 15 yards off the receivers and give up easy sideline completions.
