Outcoached
We knew Alabama was going to be an even match in the trenches
We were going to have to outplay them in other phases to win. We didn't.
They played much better on special teams than they did all year and we played much worse on special teams than we did all year.

The idea that this anything like a playoff is ridiculous. You don't wait 6 weeks for a playoff game

We never changed anything.
We had a few nice passes to OBJ, but never was willing to keep challenging the bama secondary. Every time, we'd go straight back to running right up the gut. We never broke our tendencies and Uncle Nick pounced on it.
As the game wore on, Miles got more conservative. The only time we even looked like we wanted to go down the field was when we were in huge down and distance disadvantages.
Where was the 1st down passes?
Where was utilizing the TE?
Where was taking a quick shot down the field to RR?
Of course it didn't help that the OL got their arse handed to them or that JJ was scared to death.
I really believe Les and his Offensive coaches froze up. He simply sat there and truly thought that the ST's would make a play and bail the O out like they did against Ga.
Or that the D would get a turnover like it did against bama the first time.
He played conservative ball (which is fine sometimes) even when the game was dictating for us to open the field and take some chances.
I can promise you, Les is still sitting there today thinking he did the right thing. That JJ gave us the best chance to win. I have no idea what Lee did to now deserve a chance. But, if they lost all confidence in Lee then they should have taken the time over the 6 weeks to get Mett ready in case we need to throw the ball.
All we as fans can do is hope that Les learned from his mistake. Let's not forget that this is a young team.

tup, I heartily agree. I have been following LSU for over 50 years and I can't remember a worse job of adjusting the game plan to the situation. My first text to my brother-in-law after the 1st qtr was that you can't beat Bama going side to side. His wife had uttered the same statement just before I texted. We could see it, why couldn't the coaches ?
That being said, there was much profanity and alcohol-consumption in the OTF household last night. Wish my first post could have been on a happier note. Oh well, the sun did come out this morning and I didn't have to go to work.
Hope to be able to post more often now that I am free from bondage.
Geaux Tigers !

This game was not even close to even in the trenches. Our offensive line got beat down and Sam Montgomery got owned by Barret Jones all night. Jones made him his bitch.
