BOL Round Table

FYI, after watching it again, not only did LSU play a heck of a game, but I'm convinced that's by far the best the Tigers have played all season.

I also think that coming off the bye week was a big advantage for them.

I don't think Alabama played their worse game. I give LSU's defense some credit. They caused some problems for us I what they did. We didn't play well and left at least 14 points on the field. Our defense was out of position on several throws and our tackling was inadequate a few times. Overall, when you play a team like Lsu it's hard to judge exactly how you played. I do know that Oregon, KSU or Notre Dane would have walked out of that stadium with a loss. We played like a machine when it mattered and as much as our defense missed assignments, it didn't miss many In the redzone.

Don't know why that bye week of xtra prep hasn't been mentioned more. That was huge for LSU who put in a great game plan. It's obvious they have some pretty smart coaches on staff. I also believe some people forgot how good they were after that UF loss.

I agree. I'm curious to see if that is a one time deal with him. I don't know if it's clicking for him or if he just had one of those nights like Garcia did against UA a few years ago.

Great article! Thanks, Chris

RTR!!!

I think the game Metternberger had was more like Garcia's of USC. Incredible games that they never equaled. What is amazing is that Bama had coverage on every single one of their plays and they made the catches, and the passes were pinpoint. LSU's only drop came on a deep pass that our DB fell down on. Belue got throw at alot but the receivers and qb just made great plays, and he was in good position on all the throws.

As for the game, our OLINE dominated, but we got away from running with the ball. Also people forget that we were without Coop most of the game, and we still are missing White who was our primary deep threat. Lacy needs to get better quickly. Also I found it interesting that on LSU's last drive, that our 3-man pass rush was putting serious pressure on Mittens.

Next up TAMU, and it will be a game of contain. Look at how LSU defense played after the first qtr and you get an idea of how bama will want to play against them.

Thanks Chris, bye week definitely a big factor in game planning for them. Bama didn't execute very well at times and left points on the board, but gotta hand it to LSU for playing a helluva game.

I agree.
