You have no reason to eat crow. That game could've gone either way a dozen different times.

It was a classic.

Good point.

I think it was ultimately LSU's incredible defense depth, and ability to pin their ears back in OT that made the difference at the end. Also, BAMA's offense buckled in OT with several poor passes that set up the difficult long FG attempt.

I will agree with that totally... That pass to Trent that was over his head, was HUGE! Ugh...

For all the talk of Bama being able to wear down an opponent, LSU is the team that wore Bama down. We came close to breaking the game open on our last possession in regulation. As OT started, Bama obviously had run out of gas on offense and defense.

I agree... It's hard to speculate on that though, because we just couldn't produce in and around the 30 for some reason. I think it had just as much to do with lack of execution, and play calling as it did LSU.

We had the ball inside the 42 of the Tide 5 times in regulation, just like Bama had their 5 shots against us, and ended up with only 6 points. And we had the ball inside the 5 with 3 shots at the endzone and didn't score a TD. Something you guys failed to do.

LSU had JUST AS MANY chances with the ball in or around field goal range as Bama. We decided to punt and pin you back (smart smart move) vs kick a long FG or go for it on 4th down. You decided to miss FGs that your kicker wasn't capable of making on a consistent basis (3 of the missed FGs were 49,50 and 53 yards in length, the other was 44).

I agree totally... Bad decisions... Hate

I was wrong about you not coming back. You may be delusional but you are honorable. Good luck on your season.
The lsu defensive stand in ot will be remembered as one of the greatest stands in lsu history aginst the greatest team we ever beat. You guys shouldve punted and pinned us deep. Your fg kicker couldn't make those long kicks , especially with the pressure being applied by the lsu defense. We blocked the one that was makeable. It's that pressure that rushed your kicker.
Bama is every bit as good as lsu. If we played ten times we would each win five.

been lurking on these forums for awhile, reading all the stuff from Tappy and I gotta say, I am pleasantly surprised he came back

You guys have a great team also, and I hope you smash the hell out of Boise in the Sugar Bowl.

First and foremost... Congratulations to LSU, and good luck with the SEC, and National Championship. I hope for the best for this team, and I hope LSU has a great opponent, that will make for a great title game.

I will be the first to admit I was wrong, so here it is. The way I see last nights game...

The QB difference WAS the difference in this game, and I was wrong... We couldn't stop Jefferson and the option. Your team is lucky to have two QB's, because we had Lee's number. I was praying he would stay in the game, lol, but Les knew better, and it wont the game for you guys. Aj just couldn't do it for us... That INT on the 1 yard line was the game, and if it went the other way, we score, and our defense holds. However, LSU and those turnovers, UGH!

Trent just couldn't run the ball, and your team had great success running...

Special teams was also HUGE in this game... Not so much with the field position, because we always managed to drive down the field every time we were pinned back, we just couldn't complete drives, and our FG kicker is obviously TERRIBLE!

We basically just got out physicaled at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball... It hurts to see it, but it happened, so what are ya gonna do? I am still going to support my team through this, and am excited to see how the rest of the season goes for them

Great game tigers, and Roll Tide!

Let the bashing begin

Hey man - got to be a tough day but the sun did come up and life moves on. You guys need a kicker!

Not going to rub it while it hurts - be cool and just take it one at a time.

OSU and Stanford go down I think we see you guys again. I don't want to but if it works that way so be it.
