With over 11 minutes left in the game, the only way to cement that victory was to take out Jayden Daniels. Bama needed to hurt the best player on the LSU team.

Why do people keep saying this? They were up by 14 and LSU couldn't stop their offense. Can anyone tell me why Bama would think that the only way to secure a victory at that point would be to hurt JD?

LSU had the ball so that would have been cut to 7. LSU D could’ve stopped them despite not doing a great job of it earlier. Throw in some chaos and the game gets tied quick.
This really isn’t hard to comprehend. You think you made a good point, but did not.

I don’t get it either. You can call Turner a thug and think it was a cheap shot without thinking that was the only way Bama could stop LSU and win the game. Besides being up 14 and moving at will against LSU at that point they had stopped our offense on 2 consecutive drives before the hit.

Their offensive tactics change afterwards to run more clock, but if JD wasn’t hurt they would have easily matched every score. Our already porous defense was worn out in 2nd half.

None of that is in the criteria for targeting.

Because they hadn’t really stopped us consistently either.

If NOTHING changes other than JD is able to get up after that hit:

15 yard penalty for roughing. JD could easily have lead us to a score on that drive. Now we’re down 7. Let’s say that takes about 3 min.

Bama gets ball back and does exactly what they did on their next drive. They get the ball, drive down to our 28, and stall out. They miss the FG. This is exactly what happened.

JD would get the ball back, on the 28, down 7.

I like his chances. Doesn’t mean we win, but it is not far fetched.

Removing Daniels guaranteed it though.

Did the score change from that point?

It was the only way to secure a victory, but it worked out that way.

They did hold the to a field goal attempt which they missed…. LSU had 2 drives both needed to end in the end zone.

Delusional thinking! Think like Saban! He thinks all possibilities and thought LSU could make a come back with Daniels! It was possible! Not saying greats odds, but possibly! Saban doesn’t care if you’re up 30 points, he plays like the score is tied all 4 quarters! Period! You should know this about Saban!
