re: The game was not lost because of the Dallas Turner hit

No one said it was.

However, losing him pretty much sealed it.

Exactly.

There is rarely just one play that decides a game--its a serious of events that lead to that play deciding it.

JD5 getting knocked out sealed the loss. He's the only reason LSU was in that game. The defense couldn't get a stop all night. Receivers were dropping balls, then you had the tipped ball INT.

The game was over when Alabama got their turnover. We all knew that our defense was bad and the only way we could win this was by getting into a shoot out. We were matching them blow for blow up to that point and then it stopped.

I don’t usually rewatch games but I think this is one I will. I really want to watch the receivers on plays that both QBs ran and also see how many runs were called and how many were scrambles.

After that deep pass by Daniels on the Alabama blown coverage for 46 yards early in the game I thought they would carve up Alabamas secondary.

We didn't lose the game last night because of the assult and battery of JD but it may have been closer had JD not got taken out. We lost because BK has been at LSU for a year and a half and we were playing a well stocked equally coached team with a legendary coach who has been there for 20 freaking years. Oh in case anyone needs a history lesson BK beat Bama and the refs last year with 39 scholarship players.

The defense lost the game.

Right, but losing your star quarterback to a cheap shot didn't help .

You know man… both can be right. I’m sick of people saying officiating wasn’t the reason we loss. No shite Sherlock, but that doesn’t take away that officiating was a piss poor job last night

I mean, we lost by two possessions. LSU’s last two possessions were by Nuss, who did ok but Jayden would have found a way I’m sure of it.

So I’d say the dirty hit was definitely a factor in us losing. Now, after the dirty hit would ejecting Turner make a difference? No because Daniels is still out.
