re: LSU crossed midfield three times

I don’t disagree that they should have been trying to get points there. Bama was selling out run with 9 innthe box and a single high safety who was creeping down pretty hard (and he wasn’t Fitzpatrick)

I was hoping we would PA pass and let chark get deep on a 50/50 ball. Couldn’t have hurt to at least give it a shot when they were going man up on a one man route.

Maybe there is merit to O wanting to simply keep it close and not take chances. It’s a better appearance. The moral victory thing is a farce. No one is happy losing. But there were a lot of positives to take Home in that game. Even the players knew that. You could tell inntjeir post game. We lost a game everyone expected us to lose. Did we have them on he ropes? No. Were there plays there to be made that a better qb could make? ABSOLUTELY. That’s the take away.

That said, of LSU had a passer that could burn a blitz we would shred them. Mettenberger was ripping their blitzes apart back in 12. Could have thrown for 350 that night but les miles gonna les miles
