re: Fox Sports story on the game

Congratulations, Alabama, you won... the stats.... er, that portion of the stats that confines itself to offensive and defensive yards gained and allowed. But if Little Nickie is not smart enough to tell you that special teams are a big part of the team, or that field position and timing are big parts of a game, then LSU fans are more than happy to fill you in.

It wasn't the better team that tripped on its own feet on a reverse. It wasn't the better team that underthrew a wide open tight end for a would-be touchdown. It wasn't the better team that missed all those field goals. Each and every one of those things involve talent that you lacked at a particular moment. And while your DB's were making pedestrian interceptions thrown right into your hands ours were making spectacular plays... which involved more talent?

The better team won. If they played again the better team would win again... and that would be LSU.
