This is just a load of shite in more ways than one

1.) there was an excitement about the rematch beforehand, we had all the confidence in the world and no reason not be, we just had the greatest regular season of all time. The whole thing was bullshite but it's not like we were all pouting around like "aw man Bama is gonna kick our shite in".

They ran in a late TD to make it 21, but the game was never really out of reach (except for the fact that we couldn't move the ball), but we just needed the defense to score and they didn't so we were kind of fricked

Had Mathieu scored a TD, or had a turnover to give us field position like pretty much every other game we played, that game is remembered completely differently and the AP title probably still goes to LSU win or lose. but gotta give Bama credit, they didn't turn the ball over, McCarron had the game of his life
