Everyone going crazy how we got stopped but the 3rd down was wide open easy money. Beat ourselves, no Bama is not that good.

They won by 18, at LSU.

They’re good.

Kiffin called one of the worst games I’ve ever seen. It is what it is.

You’re either a liar or have never watched football.

27 1st downs to 13.

You rarely see a team dominate the game and lose by multiple scores, but that’s what happened.

Bama surrendered the yards and 11st downs, but tightened at the 30. Good game plan. Gave up nothing deep.

I think KIffin let himself get bamafied to be honest.

Whatever, dude. Your boy LK got so outcoached, it's laughable.

I mean there were good things we did so it wasn't the "worst" game but there were several in game decisions that were questionable even before hindsight. Kiffin seemed to be coaching desperate from the beginning for whatever reason. Going for it on 4th and 4 with a gimme field goal in play when it was 10-3 was objectively a bad decision and to me kinda represents the whole game in one snapshot. We consistently drove down the field and came up with nothing.

LSU ran 48 offensive plays in Bama territory - 13 points.

Bama ran 50 total offensive plays - 31 points.

Somebody got outcoached and outplayed in the red zone. Really, not even the red zone. LSU flat out got beat inside the 10s.

They are way better on OL and a little better on DL would beat us 8 out of 10 right now. And safety Thomas was lost on a lot of big plays, we just are not there yet.

Yeah, some of the plays leading up to the fourth downs seem to be forgotten, but should not be.

Pretty simple to see what was going on. Alabama played bend don’t break to not give up a big play until LSU got into the redzone then beared down. And the one time LSU actually had a shot for a big play (double move) leavitt under threw #4. Hard to win like that.

What do you get by rewatching the games? To criticize? To come here to make a comment? Seems like a lot of wasted team when the outcome was simple.

They were better in close to all areas.

The LSU yardage and first down totals in this game are a mirage. You weren't watching a defect in Alabama's defense. You were watching a feature.

Those yards and first downs were allowed, not earned. Alabama wanted to mitigate the big plays, and keep everything in front of them.

Kane Wommack knew LSU couldn't produce in the redzone. He was perfectly happy to play soft between the 20's, minimize big plays, and cough up those yards.

He got what he wanted. Very few big plays, and very little redzone production. It was a good plan and executed well.

This and the UK game were awful for in-game coaching.

55 yard fg attempt
Passing up the gimme
Trying to draw offsides with a fake punt formation and taking a delay of game, leading to the punter rushing his punt and coy kicking his coverage

There were a lot of calls on 3rd and 4th that I very much disliked in the moment and even more dislike now.

The bama game was so poorly coached, it made it clear we overpaid

Don't know the guy you are responding to, but there is plenty to learn from rewatching games. I usally focus more on the line play when doing it.

Undoubtedly. However, good teams make the plays that need to be made at crucial times in the game.

One team did that, and it wasn't LSU.

Now, if Bama isn't that good, then where does that leave LSU?

Just gotta get a solid O-line. Never been more of a universal truth than (whoever came up with the phrase) “The game is won or lost in the trenches”.
