What's Bama's secret sauce?

I know, I know, another Bama thread.
We have only beaten Bama 6 times in the last TWENTY years, and it took 2 Heisman QB's to win two of those.
That is just miserable. How do they do it? Are their players just that much better? Is the coaching that much better? Just drives me nuts. They still handing out Chargers? Do they have that much more money than we do? I guess we get a one-year break to figure it out.
Enlighten me oh great Rantards.

I think we make it a bigger game than it is. We beat ourselves before the game starts.

Bama owns a lot of programs. Not just us. Those that suffered through the Bear Bryant years....and Saban...bless em.

Yeah it's psychological and the stats in the last game prove it.

Stop the run

We’re 0-1 against them when you remove Nick Saban (the GOAT) on their sideline and Brian Kelly (lazy and drunk) on ours
Even over that long of a time it’s hard to make much of a pattern over it

Not sure but they left it out of the recipe against Tennessee and A&M.

Bama coach outcoaches LSU coach, pretty simple.

I wish they would not have the bye week anymore
they always seem to come in healthy against LSU
plus LSU was playing really well prior to the bye at least this season

They score more points than we do. That usually does it.

Simple: this is the same recipe to beat any team
Don't beat yourselves
NO dumb penalties
Convert TD's in the red zone, NOT FG's
ALL 11 men on the field must do their job to perfection
Execute for a full 60 minutes, not 3 Qtrs
same topics Saban preached to his players and coaches 24/7/365

For many of those years we didn't have players that were as good, pretty simple.
Posted on 11/12/26 at 3:21 pm to mikedatyger
More often than not, they’re more talented
Add Saban to that mix and there’s your answer.
KD seems to be pretty good off bye weeks too

They have coaches who have their team prepared for big games. Dabeur is undefeated off byes. Lane Kiffin makes bad decisions in big games, Brian Kelly didn’t have the team prepared for big games

After 1/9 LSU made the game into the Super Bowl and put a ridiculous amount of pressure on winning that game. Mentally, a lot of the games were lost before they started.
But in all reality, LSU hasn’t been able to consistently beat them ever.

THE GOOD VS GOOD examples…
Saban and Bryant
vs
Chollie Mac, Miles and Coach O
THE BAD VS BAD examples…
Mike Shula
vs
Curley Hallman
Laughable gaps between the decision making of two universities. LSU leadership and administration had choked on its own political flem over time…the root cause IMO.

Player evaluation, recruiting to the roster, and developing that talent to its full physical and mental strength.
