What I don't understand is how Bama outplayed us when turnovers were equal and our special teams definitely outplayed theirs. The only thing the talking heads seem to be pointing to is yards gained. Bama HAD to gain more yards because our kickers outkicked theirs and our defense set up one of our offensive drives following ... wait for it ... an INTERCEPTION off of a horribly thrown ball by McCarron that was returned down to the 15. Those "hidden" 40(?) return yards almost even the yardgae production.

LSU had three penetrations inside the 20 yard line where we kicked our field goals. Bama got inside the red zone only once, choosing to attempt three field goals from outside 45 yards. The one time Bama did get inside the 20, they made the field goal--amazing how that works. Just because Bama attempted more field goals doesn't mean they outplayed us--it means they didn't play for field position which means Saban was OUTCOACHED.

I do love how they fail to mention anything about the OT period. When Bama had the ball, all I heard was the high pitched beeping from the Tide having to back the truck up.

Well, Bama did win the 1st quarter. I'll give them that. Pretty much the majority of the yardage difference came in the 1st quarter for Bama. They outgained LSU 76 yards (114 to 38) in the 1st quarter.

The final difference in the game was 56 yards. If you look just at regulation, you can take away 17 yards from LSU and add 5 yards to Bama, the difference was 78 yards.

So outside of the 1st quarter, Bama outgained LSU by 2 yards in regulation. Yup, they surely outplayed LSU that whole game.
