Do you now agree with Bama fans after 11/5/2011, "Better team lost"

The roles were reveresed last year, they dominated the stat sheet but lost the game. We said too damn bad, we won.
I think we know what they felt last year, or is this different? If so, how?

NO!
frick!
We are LSU. We're just the more mostest betterer of all.
Artists compose innumerable songs around the City of New Orleans and quite a few to B.R.
Our cuisine is world renowned.
We have Death Valley within our borders.
What the frick does AL have other than the Florabama? And they have to share that shite. Seriously?

Good point uway... if we play like that the rest of the way it will be a fun end to the season.

After the game this was the first thing that went into my mind. I felt like we played the better game and lost just as Bama did last year.
I do not know who is the better team, but we played a better game than I could have expected. I thought we would win but I didn't think we would play as well as we did.
Gives me mixed feelings but overall, Im excited about the future of this team and next years.

No and this is complete BS to compare.
The 2011 game was extremely even.

Alabama scored more points.
Alabama won the game.
Alabama made the plays when it counted.
Alabama is the better team.
We are not whiny-arse entitled Bama fans.

No, we're not Bama.
LSU had their chance to put the game away and didn't. Instead we opted to move to a prevent defense and give a 10 yard cushion. We were outcoached in the last 2 minutes of each half, that ended up being the difference.

Another difference is that we actually were clearly better for long stretches of the game this time. I don't remember Bama being clearly better in Tuscaloosa last year.

LSU was clearly the better team on the field Saturday night. My Bama friends admit this and feel very lucky to win. We just came up short on scoreboard. Hopefully, we do not have a hangover Saturday against Miss State.

Of the 60 min this year it was a 40-20 offense to LSU.
What was it last year?
Posted on 11/5/12 at 7:49 am to The Mick
YES
Saban lost the game last year with bad decisions, and Miles lost this game with bad decisions.

If the rolls are reversed shouldn't we get a rematch?
I think we should, that second half LSU absolutely dominated untill 90 sec until end of the game. We beat them in every category except rushing yards(30yrds)/sacks/obviously points.
Why aren't we screaming for a rematch like they did when they lost. Let's start the hype now.

although I didn't agree last year, I do now. $atan made dumb calls and tried all of those fg's. Les did the same and it hurt him twice, since the fake fg didn't result in points.
To be fair, Les did the same thing against A&M. Kicked a long fg that didn't work and gave the other team a short field.

This was NOTHING like last year and LSU deserved to win the first game. Go look at the stats. We outrushed them by 50+ yards last year, held them to under 100 rushing and had the ball for 12 seconds less than they did (not to mention we reached the Bama red zone three times to their one trip inside our red zone at the 17). We almost scored a TD twice and they never came close. They just had 50+ more yards of total offense - that was it.
They missed a few 50+ yard FGs that they shouldn't have even attempted because their kicker didn't have that kind of leg.
LSU ran 93 plays and held the ball for almost 40 minutes of the game this weekend while racking up 430+ yards of offense with no turnovers to Bama's two turnovers. LSU dominated in that aspect and had questionable coaching decisions. The bottom line is Bama had more points so they get the win. We needed one stop. You have to give them credit for making it happen. LSU played a hell of a game though.

Team Stat Comparison
----------------LSU.....ALA
1st Downs 15......17
Total Yards 239.....295
Passing 91......199
Y'all won this year and that is what MATTERS. I give credit to Bama. They're resilient and make it happen. LSU played great.
But where are the other stats to last year's Game of the Century? The stat showing LSU holding the vaunted Bama rushing attack to under 100 while LSU outrushed them by 50+ yards? The even turnovers? The time of possession? I think there was a one penalty difference between the two as well.
The red zone appearances were 3-1 in favor of LSU so that was significant and LSU obviously had 3 more points than Bama, but it was a pretty even game even though people were trying to say it was one-sided. Everybody knew that LSU wasn't going to get many passing yards last year. Few thought LSU would outrush Bama and hold them to under 100 for the game (and that Jordan Jefferson would average as much as Richardson per carry).
