No and this is complete BS to compare.

The 2011 game was extremely even.

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).
