7:30 left in the game and LSU FINALLY gets past midfield. This has been the BEST defense in the modern era (stats back that up too).
Safe to say Bama has prepared for the option over the holidays. Not sure they gained one yard on the option, McCarron is hot, and ZERO penalties tonight.
Congrats to Bama! They came to play , LSU came to watch em play.
To me what is so sweet is all the talking heads in the media saying we "did not deserve" to be in NOLA.
As I type this Trent breaks one deep.
Can we say 2011 National Champs???
ROLL FU**ING TIDE ROLL!!!!!!!!!
LSU fans QUICKLY leaving the dome and Bourbon Street. This is beyond sweet.
Ballgame, 21-0 ALABAMA!!!
Let the AP vote LSU #1 after this, that would be laughable! We just seen the BEST defense come out with the best showing in a title game ever. This reminded me so much of the 1992 game we had at the Sugar Bowl against Miami. They said we couldn't stop LSU in NOLA, they were undefeated, etc. and we shut them down and made it look easy.
I wished we could play Oklahoma State too so we could really shut them up. Bama or LSU would stomp them something serious.
Ummmm yep Bama controlled every aspect of this game........... Congrats
I lived through one in 92, now 09 and 11. They never get old. Sure is fun to go through!
We'll probably be ranked high to start next year, but don't expect the same as this year. Our defense will more than likely get raked over the coals by the NFL.
Offense:
LT #75 will be back (won the Outland Trophy this year as best lineman)
LG #65 will be back
C #73 will leave due to graduation
RG #61 will be back
RT will be back
QB will be back
RB will be gone, Trent will be a top 5 pick
H-Back/TE is gone due to graduation #17
TE will be back #89
WR #15 is gone due to graduation
WR #4 is gone due to graduation
WR #7 will be back
Defense:
NG #99 is gone due to graduation
DE #54 will be back
DE #92 will be back
LB #5 will be gone due to graduation
MLB #30 will probably be gone to NFL Draft
MLB #35 should be back, could leave early for draft
LB #41 will be gone due to graduation
CB #24 will be gone due to graduation
CB #21 will be gone to the NFL Draft
FS #37 will be back, unless he goes to the NFL Draft
SS #4 will be gone due to graduation
As you see our defense will go down somewhat, but as much talent we have under them that has played a LOT of minutes this year we wont be a pushover.
As of right now I'd say early on probably a 11-1 record losing to LSU (depending on LSU's QB situation with Lee and Jefferson gone, or at least I think they are). We'll win at least 10 regardless. Anything more is just gravy. I say a BCS Bowl and go 12-1 overall.
Time to get ready for Michigan who is our home opener next year in Arlington Texas. Already got tickets and gonna take a caravan there in a few months to party hard and watch yet another win.
