Saban: "Jake was going to have to throw it and throw it well for us to win"

Alabama has 1 receiver I would take over our 4th best receiver. I would also rather Guice and Fournette over Henry. They have 1 offensive lineman I would take over all of ours also. And yet they beat the shit out of us.

 

True but their D trumps all of that. They destroyed our line and offense as they have all since the ole piss game. The quality difference of their D over our (and others') Os more than make up for lessor differences or relative weakness of their O. And yes their game day coaching was much better than ours (and most).

 

That's true. But our offense should have been able to effectively move the ball if LSU would have come up with a decent gameplan.

 

LSU had a GREAT bowl game and Alabama's success in its post-season should have no impact whatsoever on how LSU fans should feel about the LSU victory over TT.

It's depressing to spend time thinking about Crimson Tide success, so, it's best to avoid that.
