BCS National Title Game
I don't even know where to begin with Alabama vs. LSU part 2. It was the most lopsided title game I've ever seen. I'm not against the whole thing about both teams being in the same conference, but I would much rather have seen Oklahoma State play LSU. I guess that might be contradicting? Oh well, most things writers say are. Look at the stats; LSU only had 93 total yards, they crossed the 50 ONE TIME and then proceeded to go backwards. Jordan Jefferson was rattled from the first time he touched the ball. The speedy Crimson Tide defense lead by defensive MVP Courtney Upshaw were all over him and never let him get his feet wet. The Tigers defense, which was just a shade below Alabama's in most people's mind, couldn't stop AJ Mccarron on first down. Or any part of the game for that matter. Trent Richardson only had 96 yards but had the only touchdown of the game late in the fourth quarter to put the game away. What about the Honey Badger? (Tyrann Mathieu for those of you who don't know) Alabama attacked him and did so very well. They punted to him a few times and he did no damage, and he had no effective plays. Most everyone on ESPN after the game agreed that Oklahoma State would have scored "some" points. Some? They would have scored 30+ against LSU, but they would have needed to score a lot more cause they have the opposite of the Tiger's defense. No reason to mention Bama in this part cause they wouldn't have made it. At the end of the day it is what it is and they played the game and Alabama game out with their second crystal ball in three years. Expect both teams to be back next year and expect both to be good. I'd give the edge to LSU in the race next year but never ever count out a Nick Saban coached Crimson Tide. I'll admit that I was rooting for the Les Miles lead Tiger's but in the end, Roll Tide.
