LSU played a great game!!!! Saban is a great coach. Miles is good. Game was decided by two things: 1) LSU had way too many penalties (not questionable by review) 2) LSU players were apparently waaaay out of shape (cramps/injuries), which also leads to penalties. LSU played a great game. Need some conditioning though. Need mucho more discipline. I'm a Bama fan. We've been through some horrific years. Saban is a helluva coach as you well know. He puts his players in a position to win. Bottom Line: Bama was in better physical shape than LSU. Yes, the interception call was questionable, but you can't hang your hats on that. This game was all about conditioning. Conditioning won this game for Bama HANDS DOWN. Again, players that aren't in physical condition tend to make mental mistakes which leads to penalties. CONDITIONING. The difference! Oh, and I have NO IDEA WHY MILES went for 2 in the 3rd quarter. maybe because of conditioning.
Discipline? Check the stats on the year. Conditioning? I dunno...maybe just a physical game. Going for two didn't cost the game. How many times did you guys have too many men on the field? Discipline. And just because we had more penalties CALLED on us today, doesn't mean the facemasks and INCREDIBLE holding didn't take place. It just didn't get called. - By the way...bleaux me.
I think cramps are more of a game management issue--not keeping properly hydrated, not being able to get off the field while bama goes 60-70 yards, having to bust your a$$ covering Julio Jones the entire game. When Mt. Cody can play 3 downs, then you can talk about conditioning.
being in shape had nothing to do with it!! don't worry bout us Bama we will make it!! you guys got a major break on the long Jones pass ! We will do it again next year! try not to loose you last 2 games again!!!
Interesting.... LSU folks still want to blame the refs. When you resort to blaming the refs, you probably didn't even have a chance from the beginning. Reminds me of when I played high School football. Podunk towns always wanted to blame the refs. Urban has blamed refs. Kiffin has blamed refs. petrino has blamed refs. Is Miles going to be the next? Blaming the referees is akin to blaming your parents because you live in a trailer down on the bayou. BAMA JUST BEAT YOU. Deal!!!
