Great post and reminders of the toughness and tenacity. There was that tenacity in the 2nd half of the LSU game. I think some are still recovering from seeing the team look so out of sorts and down vs Clemson.....and then seeing it again in the biggest game this season in the first half.
I'm guessing its a mix of coaching turnover, injuries, departures, youth and not being pushed in a game often enough....they played so tight in the first half and just had an avalanche of mistakes all over the place. That's really why I was so pleased with the second half, mostly....I didn't want to see them fold it up like in the Clemson game....there was fight there. And with a few plays, like pushing a running back out of bounds, that our offense has the ball vs a tired defense with a chance to go up 41-40....after being down 33-13.
Clean up the first half....don't have the poor plays on the drive when we were down 19-13, don't fumble on the first drive, don't throw the interception and have the personal foul.....well....the game may have been tied or Bama up and then winning by multiple scores in the second half.
