Sure hope this was our “Bad Game” for 2017.

The only reason this team wouldn’t go 15-0 is the injuries. I’ve never seen anything quite like what’s effecting the defense this year, and yes I lived through the Shula era.
I’m done with L7U. On to the next.

This. Come on guys, you didn’t really think winning the SEC and another NC would be easy, didya? A wise man once called such thinking “rat poison.”
Just seems the bye always hurts us more than other teams.

L7U sure does get up for the Bama game but, we're almost always ahead of it and know it. That was a great win. The injuries suck but that's part of the game. I'm certain no one does a better job of preventing injuries than what our staff does. It just happens.
I predicted by 20 points but if we could beat L7U by 1 point every game forever, I would be ecstatic
Style points are nice but W's COUNT!They have talent and will never be an SEC cupcake team.
Watched the first part of Ogre-on’s PC.
He made clear they spent the whole two weeks prepping for us. Saban took the better (IMO) route as it’s my understanding he spends the first week working “the rest of the season” (if I recall the phrase he used) and the second week working on the corndogs.
It’s a “big picture” strategy, but at times in the first half I think LSU looked better prepared mentally than we did.
As others note, and I agree, clearly the most talented team we see in the regular season, and clearly some great coordinators.
And as usual, we got their “super bowl” level performance just like always. If LSU played every game at that level they’d be 7-1 right now.
But we had plenty of mental errors; for one example: how we Ever can totally fail to block the best guy in their team, Key, wow. That’s a head scratcher. He’s effective enough when we Do try to block him!!!
Clearly, Jalen had a AMAZING performance (as did JK Scott). All I’m saying is, maybe not our best TEAM outing. Yes, opponent quality has a lot to do with that. All I’m saying is, this wasn’t the 2011 LSU or 2008 UF team we were lined up against.
Officiating, as has (sadly) become the norm for us, again played a huge role last night. The Long wildcat run worked ONLY because of a blatant hold not called. Non-calls on LSux pass interference directly took one TD off the board and indirectly probably at least Two other scoring opportunities. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration in the least to say the officials narrowed the margin of victory by at least 21 points.
But all the above is “small potatoes” compared to the issue of injuries. We’ve now lost 4? Starting LB’s for the season? Not counting other guys hobbled or slowed. And if Minkah can’t go full speed at least by aubarn, IMO that’s every bit as big as the loss of EJ last year....
just my thoughts ....

I'm really concerned about the injuries we are sustaining on defense. I have never seen anything like this. They are of the violent type injury as well, tear this break that. I only have 1 seasoned starter at LB now in Evans.
I don't know what the coaches will do but they need to figure out some way to get the offense back to scoring and taking pressure off the defense. We seemed content to play offense between the tackles last night and throw downfield. I don't know that we used all our weapons available to us. And I for the life of me can't figure why we don't have a screen game in our offense but it's too late in the season to get one now. But it sure would help our tackles to have one.

There's your problem Audio. Saban has done as much with far more restrictions and people are just comfortable.
Can you name a team whose season would not be made if they defeated Alabama? There's not one. Alabama is the team that every other team on their schedule spends part of their practice every other week of the year watching film for. Alabama is the team every other team throws everything they have at them. Every week. Every play. Every game those Alabama kids have to withstand their opponent's absolute best effort to defeat them simply because they are Alabama. They still won by two touchdowns. Keep it real folks.
