McElroy also got a hit to the head that should've been called... but they're neither here nor there...
The reason Bama lost is because they had LSU pinned deep in their own territory with a 3rd and 13, with not only the game on the line, but the SEASON... and another blown coverage allowed them to convert a HUGE play.... sealing the win..
It's the same reason Bama lost against S. Carolina, the youth and inexperience on defense leads to too many blown coverages and allows teams to convert 3rd and 13, 14, 15, etc. scenarios... over and over again...
And we better get over this one quick too... because there's a very good Mississippi St. team waiting for us next Saturday that's had 2 weeks to prepare...
Repeating as national champs is g-o-n-e... the only thing I'm worried about is going to another meaningless bowl game and the boys just not showing up because they're disinterested like they did against Utah...
Face it... if you're not playing for the national championship at Alabama, and end up in some meaningless bowl game instead, they don't care...
There's a lot of places where you play for championships.... but not at the University of Alabama...
.. at Alabama you play for DYNASTIES...
