Eli & Phil interviewed Ed Stinson after the game, dang he sounded just like Mosley.
That was a REAL example of making them quit.

LSU has been such a strong team for a while now. But I love in this game and some recent games how we've just absolutely been able to impose our will and break them. The four straight sacks last night made me giddy. They had quit. We were in their heads, and I was loving it.
I've never thought of Les as a bad guy, but that was inexcusable last night. I noticed Mett walked away from him after 4th down - four drop backs in those circumstances was just terrible. You simply don't do that to your men.
Huge respect to Mett for walking off on his own. Very, very impressive.

Before last years game I thought Mett was all hype. I have a lot of respect for his talent and heart now. He played well but Alabama is just the better team.
The young man never quit though teammates did. He showed courage and won my respect.
While leaving stadium last night I spoke with an LSU fan and in the conversation I said that I hoped Mittenberger was not hurt too bad and the guy said "it doesn't matter". IMO Mittenberger was the only LSU player who didn't give up. I enjoyed the 4 straight sacks however I regret the injury.
After the second sack, we were screaming in my house for Miles to pull him from the game. Either that or let him hand the ball off. The game was in hand. It was obvious we were teeing off on him and it was only a matter of time until he got hurt. We all saw it coming two plays in advance. There's no reason why the LSU staff shouldn't have seen it. Les should be ashamed of himself.
He should have been pulled after CJ fed him that hammer sammich. It was like watching an MMA ref let the ground and pound last too long on a dazed fighter. The game was over. Bad move from the who.
He was getting hit all night. Not just on those four sacks. I'm glad he was able to walk off because I saw it coming.

An additional "In case you missed it": Skip to the 4:43 mark of the video. Take a look at McCarron's and Saban's body language during the interview. (You don't even need the sound on)
They say a team takes on the persona of their coach, but that is downright uncanny.

The Hat coaches with his emotions. Remember the BCSNCG, where he stubbornly stuck with Jefferson, even after the team wanted a change at halftime? It's like he tries to prove something at times, to the detriment of his team.
And this is one of the things that keeps Spurrier from being truly great too IMHO.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching our boys beat LSU. It made me giddy.
That being said, watching Mett limp off the field like a puppy that had been hit by a car made me sick to my stomach. I wonder if Les would have done the same thing if his son was that quarterback.

I commented to the guys sitting around me at the game that we learned how the HC felt about his qb by leaving him in on 4th and 28, and then called a pass play. Apparently Les felt that with another off week before playing A&M it didn't matter how bruised and battered his qb was.
