November 4, 201213 yr We came about 51 seconds away from the end of the SEC run at the top. I don't think either Oregon or Kansas State are going to lose (and maybe not ND either), and I don't think LSU would have had enough juice to displace one. It's up to Alabama for the SEC, and LSU's prevent defense gave it back to them IMO.
November 4, 201213 yr As someone said on Twitter the one time Hatter SHOULD have gone for it on 4th.....
November 4, 201213 yr Author Great game all around, and I never thought Alabama was in trouble until LSU got the ball back up 3 late (on what was their last drive). It just seemed like LSU had it at that point, especially with all the 3rd down conversions they picked up. Even their mistakes worked for them, like when they fumbled the ball but their procedure penalty bailed them out. I just didn't think much of that last defensive possession. I know you're afraid of giving up something deep, but Alabama starts on the 28 with 1:30 left. They only needed around 40 yards or so to get into field goal range. You just can't play that soft there. It allowed an offense that had gained zero yards through the air in the second half to go 72 yards in 40 seconds.
November 4, 201213 yr Great final drive, but LSU played way too conservatively on D. Outstanding game!
November 4, 201213 yr What does sand castles and LSU have in common? They both look good until the TIDE rolls in! A happy household this evening roll tide Mom and Dad!

November 4, 201213 yr Watching this game just reiterated how tough the SEC is, and Alabama in particular... This game was so much different than the ND/Pitt game. No offense to ND but the best thing they could hope for is to go unbeaten but miss the title game, that way they get to beat their drum and talk about what could've been...
November 4, 201213 yr Watching this game just reiterated how tough the SEC is, and Alabama in particular... This game was so much different than the ND/Pitt game. No offense to ND but the best thing they could hope for is to go unbeaten but miss the title game, that way they get to beat their drum and talk about what could've been... This game is the perfect example for why Notre Dame could play with Bama. Notre Dame and LSU are built the same way this year. Great defense, solid running game but overall very weak offenses. Yet we seen that style can give you a chance to beat Bama. Which the announcers have even talked about the teams who have beaten Bama over the last 4 years are teams who don't pass much and just play great defense and can run the ball. Notre Dame had a let down today, but still found away to win. Very similar to how LSU does things every week. This game showed that a team with a great defense can play with Bama. Oregon on the other hand is a different story for Notre Dame. Oregon is going to score not matter who they play. That would be a tough matchup for Notre Dame.
