Title: There was really nothing LSU could do Post by: 2Stater on January 11, 2012, 10:53:34 AM http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/01/there_was_really_nothing_lsu_c.html
Quote Regardless of which quarterback was in the game, LSU had no downfield passing game and no way to back the Crimson Tide off the line of scrimmage. Rueben Randle, the Tigers' best deep threat, was a non-factor. Russell Shepard barely played at all. Lee might be a better pure passer than Jefferson, but by the time Miles might have thought to turn to him in the second half, the Tigers' offensive line was getting whipped like a rented mule. Once Alabama forced LSU to essentially abandon its inside running game, the Crimson Tide pinned its ears back and drew a bead on Jefferson. Pretty accurate assessment.

"I slept with JJ so he would WIN the game?" Title: Re: There was really nothing LSU could do Post by: 2Stater on January 11, 2012, 01:20:28 PM After the game Russell Shepard tweeted that he only got to play 3 plays. Very odd. And Lester said he didn't see that coming. I don't think it would have mattered anyway, but he was asking for a beating by not utilizing his best athletes.

And in contrast, we have CNS who is blowing his top at an offsides 5 yd penalty with the game in the bag. Roll, Tide! I am looking for a repeat in 2012!

Title: Re: There was really nothing LSU could do Post by: BAMAWV on January 11, 2012, 05:43:58 PM LSU trying to stretch Bama to the corners the whole game. Dumbest thing ever. Fastest "D", great tacklers, and you decide to try and beat them sideline to sideline? I was starting to give CLM slack on the eating grass/clock management/being stupid thing. Not now!

about halfway through the third quarter. The expressions on JJ's face really told the tale of the whole team.

The expressions on JJ's face really told the tale of the whole team. The look on his and Honey Huffer's face looked like they had just been forced to take a dose of castor oil.
