BOL Round Table

the only thing they dominated was the game clock. You have the ball for almost 40 game minutes with no turnovers and only manage 17 points? Wheres the domination in only getting 2 TD's?

You could say that the first half was a story of two different quarters. You could say that they won the first quarter and we won the second. Call it whatever you want...but when the opponent runs 25 offensive plays to your 10 and gains twice as many yards, not to mention the wide disparity in first downs...whatever. I might not use the word dominate to describe the first quarter, but it is what it is. Yes, our defense did a good job of holding them to three points. I don't understand why some fans get so defensive when people suggest that we got outplayed in certain stretches of the game.

If the shoe was on the other foot, and we had narrowly lost a game where we had gained 100 yards more, had the ball 20 minutes longer, lost an onsides kick because of a fluke bounce, and seen our coaches make some highly questionable decisions, how would we describe the comparable play of the two teams? I think we know the answer, because we've seen something similar play out here before. People have varying opinions about what they saw. Funny how that some seem to get so defensive about that.

Disagree. Our O-line held its own and actually out performed LSU's d-line. The O-line couldn't help that the passing game was not clicking. Only one sack given up and an average of 6 plus yards per carry. Bama actually pushed around the LSU d-line when they got a chance.

We got out played for most of the game, but when needed we steped up and answered the bell thats why the game isn't over until the last seconds tick off the clock. Now spit that game out and learn and move onto TA&M and Johnny football. RTR!!!!!!!!!!!

I think a lot of people are overlooking this rather huge detail. That play was blown wide-open. He was walking in the end zone. That turnover kept LSU in the game. Not the other way around.

and bama covers the spread and I'm prolly not at work today

Exactly and the missed TD pass to Cooper early in the game. Either one of these plays and it is a blowout.

exactly... that changed everything for some reason. Also i wish we had ran the ball more.. we were killing them on the run

anyone who thinks LSU dominated that game is crazy. If Yeldon and AJ dont cross up that handoff we're all sleeping through the 4th quarter just like every other Bama game. LSU never, NEVER, stopped Lacy or Yeldon on the ground. It was cake for them all night. It just so happened that in the fourth Quarter most of our plays were pass plays against that LSU 3 man front. They cover pretty well when they play with 3 down linemen. The fact that Alabama went away from the ground game in the fourth quarter and still won shows just how much Bama's passing game has grown with AJ at the helm.

If youre dominating a game the way people claim LSU was, dont get your ass handed to you on fourth and and one late in the game.

Easy to say the same thing for us. If AJ hits a wide open Cooper in the middle of the field and Yeldon doesn't fumble the ball we end up scoring 35 points and beat them by 2 or 3 tds.

I did not watch a domination. I watched a team get out played in the second half and then find the answer when it mattered.

Trailing on the score board for 3/4 of the game is not dominating IMO. Getting outrushed, is not dominating IMO. Having only 100 more yards, and only 4 more first downs is not dominating.

Did they out play us? Probably, but far from dominating IMO.

Where is the murder statistically? Besides controlling the clock they only had 100 yards more of total O and only 4 more first downs. They didn't avg near as many yds per play, avged less than 3 yards a rush (while giving up 7 to us).

Except for TOP and passing yards, we were equal or better.
