...or because our team put him in position to make easy FG's?

Alleman made FG's of 19, 30, and 25 yards.
Bama made FG's of 34 and 46, missed from 44, 50, 52, and had a 49 yarder blocked.

During the LSU-Bama game, Bama attempted 5 FG's 44 yards or longer and went 1/5. Alleman has attempted 1 FG longer than 44 yards all season and missed.

Just tired about how Bama was better everywhere but the kicking game, very few CFB teams have kickers who can consistently make 50 yard FG's. Next time get closer.

Sorry if Germans btw, just got into an argument on another message board about this...

LSU beat Bama because our Special Teams as a whole is better. Regardless of what anyone else says, there are 3 phases of football. We were evenly matched in offense and defense, but our ST was better on Nov.5th.


Plain and simple truth.

Saban made the decision to kick for a field goal instead of punting. It's been a poor coaching decision and Saban has gotten a pass because of his reputation as a good coach.

Perhaps Saban believed in his defense and that it could hold LSU. If he had punted he may have gotten the ball back instead LSU getting closer to the end zone and successfully kicking field goals.

Any other coach with poorer resume would have been implicated. If Bama gets to play LSU again and the result is the same, consider the shine completely off the armor.

According to the gumps,
LSU did not beat bama,
LSU just happened to get more points.

we beat them bc we were better. better offense, better defense, better special teams and better coaches. and youll see a better display in the BCSNCG if saban begs hard enough to get them in that is.

No, because we had a better head coach.
