I will say this...IF LSU had close to the QB play NEB did in 2011 they would NO DOUBT IMO be the best ever AND would not have lost to Bama in the second game.........
I disagree that second game was about motivation and edge. Alabama had every single advantage going into that game. LSU had beaten them once already and shouldn't had to play them again. Bama lost but LSU still had to play another game to make it to the championship. The defense played inspired but for the most part that team was flat as a pancake, I doubt any QB could have made a difference.

Exactly. Montana and Bradshaw could have tag-teamed that Bama defense and come up empty.

It is always difficult to beat a good team twice in a season, even though LSU did that vs. Georgia in 2003.
There is no doubt that Saban out-coached Miles in that game and 'Bama was better prepared. They learned from the earlier loss, making the needed changes and LSU did not adjust or make any changes.
However, I still think Bama should not have been playing that game because they did not win their division and did not play a conference championship game.
Despite all the bad memories, at least this game and the way things were handled, in my view, helped the college football world realize even more fully how flawed the BCS system was to even give 'Bama a chance to be there, and I think, it did contribute at least a little to moving toward the playoff system that exists today.
