The last three downs peplexed me to say the least. Mett was on fire in the second half. One more first down and the game is over. We should have gone for the kill shot with atleast one pass attempt over the top. Also, I would have preferred taking a delay of game and pooch punting at the end.

This is my problem. It isn't the risks taken, it's the complacency when LSU had the chances to put Bama away. LSU left the door open for Bama to come back and we knew they would most likely take advantage of it.

Just doesn't have the killer instinct. It's "hold on and hope."

Plenty of Miles bashing around here, but the gameplan for Bama was pretty damned good overall. While I agree that they should have thrown on 3rd down in the last series while Mett was throwing darts, but Miles had faith in the defense at that point, and I can't blame him there.

Fake FG, 55 yd FG attempt, and Ware 4th down were all bad HC calls, but IMO, the Copeland penalty was the killer.

Describes much of the Les Miles coaching era. IMO, it's his Achilles Heel, which good teams like Alabama often capitalize on and thrive on when they play us in key SEC matchups.
