Instead, LSU won by three, 24-21, on the strength of a field position advantage of more than 10 yards per drive. The Tigers had three drives start in opponent territory while Alabama started every one of its drives on its side of the field. Better field position leads to better scoring opportunities, and the value of a short-field scoring drive belongs to the defense or special-teams unit that created it
As Herm Edwards said: "you play to win the game."
LSU won, Alabamda lost. I could care less about how it happened. I would take 11 ugly victories every year if you offered it to me.

Alabama's offense was able to punch in for three touchdowns while LSU's offense sputtered on multiple occasions and only crossed the end zone twice. In terms of raw offensive efficiency, LSU "lost" the head-to-head matchup against Alabama, meaning that if both teams had faced off with equal field position all day, the Crimson Tide would have won by a decent margin.
1. Field goals count
2. Alabama only had 3 drives of more than 27 yards. LSU had 5 of 50 or more.
3. LSU's two touchdown drives covered more yardage than any two of Alabama's scoring drives.
