re: 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?

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.
