Another loss in which the home fans storm the field. At least the LSU fans had enough sense and self respect not to destroy the goal posts.
The first Alabama drive started out well enough. They marched right down the field and were likely to punch in a touchdown on that first drive, but Young tried to improvise too much and made a bad decision.
After that drive and up until the fourth quarter, the offense just seemed off. And it seemed off because Young was not his usual self. Also, I don't understand some of the play calls for runs throughout most of the game.
We have Gibbs, who is tremendously talented, and we didn't use him enough.
The largest problem that has not been solved this season is that we don't have consistent vertical threats in the passing game.
Fans can gripe about officiating, and I rarely do, but that touchdown run by the LSU quarterback should have been called back. If you watch the play, the tight end Taylor clearly blocked our defender in the back. He got no part of the front side of the Alabama player.
Regardless, the Tide should have stopped that two-point conversion.
The chances of Alabama winning the West is very poor. We would need some serious help from either Arkansas or Texas A&M.
From what I've seen from those teams, I'm not confident we'll get help.
Also, we would need to beat a crafty Ole Miss team next week.
