First off, LSU's offense wasn't atrocious in 2011. It wasn't the best ever, but was a top 5 ever LSU offense and for most of the year was dominant save 2 or 3 games.

The problem people have saying Bama was the better team because of 21-0 is the fact remains that despite that game, LSU had a better record and SEC title. Bama won the NC that year, but the fact they couldn't defend their actual home turf against LSU earlier in the season proves they weren't the best hands down.

With everything in their favor they lost. When they had an advantage (more rest, easier overall schedule, and more time to plan for LSU), they won.

That said, this Bama team has nothing on that Nebraska run.

Bama outplayed us in the 9-6 game as well and would have beaten us then had Saban not gone full retard.

The offense only had a pulse because of the defense. One of the reasons they could even score was because the defense and special teams bailed them out.

See Oregon, West Virginia, Alabama, Arkansas, and Georgia. All of those games might have been losses had the defense/special teams not saved the offense's arse.

We've been playing better AWAY from BDS for years now.

Bama fans didn't get mad that ND had an extra week last year, and you act like you know Bama used that week to prepare for a game they didn't even know they'd be playing.
