Alabama 30, LSU 16: Viewer's Guide to the Replay

Spent Sunday evening driving back from my first Saints game in two seasons. It did little to cheer anything up, and the ride back featured this song and a lot of Adele on the radio. Fitting, I guess.

There's not a whole lot to say, really. LSU got its ass absolutely and thoroughly kicked by a better football team. We knew coming in that this game would be won or loss at the line of scrimmage, and in the end the Tide's talent advantage on the defensive line was something that LSU just couldn't overcome.

I forced myself to imagine nightmare scenarios, and they all involved LSU's running game being eliminated via defensive lapses or special teams screw-ups creating a hole.
