Definitely more of a disadvantage on the bye esp w/ Bama. They always get stronger later in the season. They do play their best against us, give them that.

Makes it more evident that its an LSU issue more than a Bama is good issue.
Like some have said, its mental, LSU has the game lost before it starts. Too much is put into how important it is, Yada, yada and the team feels it. The play uptight and the rest is history.
And for superstitious fan, we sold our sold for 2019 and now we have to reqp the payback

The issue lies with us. They are in our collective heads. Look at our record verses Georgia. We have a very competitive series with them.
Playing Alabama is no longer important unless it’s in the playoffs.

Show me a program who has beaten Bama more than us? I’ll wait…
The last 15 years ago they have simply had better players and definitely better coach (GOAT).

Ok now do Tennessee. How have they been able to get the money off their backs??

When we scored to go up at the end of the third quarter, we had double the total yardage. We still looked out of sorts and at times confused and were making bad decisions, but we were up, and it felt like we'd turned the corner.
Then they scored easily, we were 3 and out, they scored easily again on a short field after a low punt and punt return, and we ran three very ineffective plays, went or it on 4th and 10 didn't make it - they scored easily again - game over. Very disappointing sequence.
Do I think Bama is that much better and more talented than us. No I don't.

Mental toughness.
Our teams have been fricking weak for almost two decades

Georgia is a peer program. Alabama is at least a full tier above us, historically.
That said, most of our losses the last two decades against Alabama have been more a function of our own shitty teams and coaching and mental weakness than any advantage Bama has had.
All four coaches since 2011 have done an awful job preparing for Alabama. Even in 2019 we managed to turn a blowout into a one possession game until the very end.

I’m pretty sure the secret is having better players and coaching the vast majority of the time over the last couple decades.

Quality and consistent administration with a common goal helps a lot.
A tradition of being the gold standard also doesn’t hurt.

I had a boss who was a big time lawyer and he would watch the LSU Bama game every year and he was in NYC and his observation was that in close games, LSU seldom believes it is worthy to beat Alabama .....even those times LSU wins. I Remember he called 1/9/12 the night of the SECCG win against GA.
He said." You guys have a legendary defense and great running game and you'll lose to Alabama in January....and you shouldn't. "

They are just out kryptonite IMO we always get their best, and they have been a solid team since Saban got there. They’ll come back down eventually with the leveled playing field and we’ll go a run against them.. personally I would love to make the playoffs and be paired with them..

Well coached, recruit better and disciplined
We are undisciplined and poorly coached, especially for the $100 million and 40 million roster.
Recruiting suspect since Miles left too

No one ever seems to acknowledge that we ALWAYS change our entire game plan for this game. Whatever we do that’s successful—we stop doing it for this game—every time. For at least a decade.
Our teams and coaches have just been so soft. They are trying to outwit Bama every year which has made us incredibly predictable in every matchup for a long time. We have no institutional desire to beat Alabama.

Bama is thriving off past recruiting there last couple of recruiting classes are going to catch up to them eventually
Posted on 11/12/26 at 4:36 pm to mikedatyger
Do you really need it explained to you? They’ve had the greatest coach of all time for the majority of those years and another really good coach for the others. And a shite tom of really good football players.
Posted on 11/12/26 at 4:46 pm to mikedatyger
In most cases, not all, Bama wins the game in the trenches. Not just against LSU, against everyone. Their Dline was particularly OP vs non-conference opponents in the playoffs because the incredibly deep coaching staff had more time to prepare.

The secret sauce for the last game was to catch us in a transition year where aren’t that good yet.
Other years it was other things.
But Bama isn’t magic. They don’t have Saban anymore. They don’t have their recruiting advantage anymore. They’re still coasting on their past and enjoying a big benefit of the doubt when it comes to ranking. They’ll lose the first round of the CFP.
