BCS Championship: Predict the TV Ratings for Alabama vs. LSU
To help with your guess: The Alabama-LSU regular season game in November drew a 11.9 rating and 18 million viewers.
Here are the last three BCS title game ratings:
2011 championship game between Auburn and Oregon on ESPN: 15.3 rating, 27.3 million viewers.
2010 championship game between Alabama and Texas on ABC: 17.2 rating, 30.2 million viewers.
2009 championship game between Florida and Oklahoma on FOX: 15.8 rating, 26.8 million viewers.
The highest all-time BCS-rated game was the classic 2006 Rose Bowl between USC-Texas – arguably one of the best games in college football history – that ended with the Longhorns winning, 41-38. It generated a 21.7 rating and 35.6 million viewers.
My guess for Alabama and LSU: a 16.1 rating and 28.4 million viewers.

Whew. 3 and out. Let’s get Trent going and grab a 7-0 lead.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:34 PM
love that 1st down play-call. LSU looking run all the way.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:36 PM
wing seems like a douche, but he can kick
January 9th, 2012 at 8:36 PM
smart, safe, throws early. Very good 1st drive game plan by Saban.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:37 PM
But I love the way Kiliminjari rises like Olympus above the Serengeti!
January 9th, 2012 at 8:38 PM
Now that he needs a job, I wonder if he’ll leave the family firm of QBForce and take that offer from Teague Egan and the fine folks over at 1st Round.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:39 PM
what an awful. punt. chance to pin them deep and you fear the Honey Badger and don’t even get it inside the 20.
a 33 yard punt?
January 9th, 2012 at 8:40 PM
Bama special teams suck.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:41 PM
But I love the way Kiliminjari rises like Olympus above the Serengeti!

Probably 99% of so called sports blogs would have a post titled: BCS Championship: Predict the Score for Alabama vs. LSU.
But no, we get: Predict the TV ratings??? Are you fucking serious???
And I had to read the post and yes, it’s even a serious question….
January 9th, 2012 at 8:44 PM
Upshaw just blew that up by himself. Damn. What a play.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:44 PM
So Les Miles is staying with the same 3 plays he used in their first meeting. Awesome start….
January 9th, 2012 at 8:44 PM
he hurt his hammy
January 9th, 2012 at 8:44 PM
nice return, but that’s a big loss if he can’t come back
January 9th, 2012 at 8:45 PM
let me rephrase that: Bama’s kicking game sucks.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:45 PM
looked like he still ran for 15 yards with the pulled hammy.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:45 PM
Goog god,third and ten is an impossible task for these crap offenses
January 9th, 2012 at 8:46 PM
Wing made sure he got him out of bounds. Warrior.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:49 PM
hmmm, I don’t know if that was a catch. looked like the ball hit the ground.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:51 PM
nice. 3-0 lead.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:51 PM
hey! a field goal!
January 9th, 2012 at 8:53 PM
How long does this lead hold? Two quarters?
January 9th, 2012 at 8:53 PM
Will the rating of this game be more or less than Tebow posts this week?
January 9th, 2012 at 8:54 PM
What?!?!? no live thread? I thought TBL would have separate thread.
Roll Tide
January 9th, 2012 at 8:56 PM
Is Jefferson actually fast? He doesn’t seem that fast.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:57 PM
niceeeeeeee.
nice 3rd down stop by the Tide. A bit nervous about who returns punts now … Richardson?
January 9th, 2012 at 8:58 PM
Which one? I thought George Jefferson was always pretty fast but Weezie was a bit slower – a bit bigger you know.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:58 PM
Boooooorrrrriiinngggggg.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:58 PM
On a Wing and a Prayer. That LSU punter can boom the ball. He’s got a job on Sunday for sure, plus he’s got the attitude as well.
January 9th, 2012 at 8:59 PM
Thomas Jefferson was pretty fast with the help
January 9th, 2012 at 8:59 PM
deceptively quick? Appears to be really thinking things through and that’s slowing him down. Clearly nervous – fumble, high pass, rapid-fire decisions. Hey, I’m cool with that.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:00 PM
Get the lead out, Weezy!
January 9th, 2012 at 9:01 PM
Huge penalty. only 5 yards but Alabama really needs a 1st down to avoid being really buried here. punting game not nearly as good as Wing
January 9th, 2012 at 9:04 PM
Wow, what a pass and catch! Badger got beat, but … damn.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:05 PM
That catch just might have stopped me from browsing Netflix.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:07 PM
Thomas Jefferson was pretty fast with the help
Indeed. A real two pump chump according Sally Hemmings.

January 9th, 2012 at 9:10 PM
Nice call Saban. I think he got it.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:11 PM
whew. barely.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:11 PM
Generous spot.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:12 PM
So Trent Richardson is hurt, has missed the entire series, and nothing from the ESPN sideline reporters?
January 9th, 2012 at 9:12 PM
Saban “The Ol’ Ball Coach” makes the 1st gutsy call of the game. Wont reverse the call, ball is where it’s suppose to be.
Roll Tide
January 9th, 2012 at 9:13 PM
TBL-Mac, I don’t know why this is breaking news, but sideline reporters are useless in every single sport.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:13 PM
Maybe Saban knows he’s ineligible and wants to keep the heat off.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:13 PM
She’s too busy up Les Miles butt
January 9th, 2012 at 9:14 PM

January 9th, 2012 at 9:14 PM
Richardson back, but only as a decoy.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:14 PM
Leading with the helmet?
January 9th, 2012 at 9:14 PM
I could make the case that you could make an all star team of these 2 defenses — and they would be better than the all star team of every other defense in the NCAA
January 9th, 2012 at 9:15 PM
HA.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:15 PM
big 3rd down call here. id only like to kick FGs under 40 yards out.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:15 PM
Richardson was sitting out in protest as he had to take the team bus to the stadium instead of his customary fully loaded escalade.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:16 PM
lotta holding there by the Badger.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:16 PM
of course it was blocked.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:16 PM
Of course it got blocked.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:16 PM

January 9th, 2012 at 9:18 PM
Drinking Dr. Pepper really showcases who I am as a person
January 9th, 2012 at 9:20 PM
Of course it is blocked
January 9th, 2012 at 9:21 PM
Blocked is it course of.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:21 PM
The girl in the Dr. Pepper who was wearing a shirt that was the opposite of the other Dr. Pepper shirts, labeled ‘Rebel’ and walking in the opposite direction of everyone else isn’t a rebel, she’s a contrarian. The bitch.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:21 PM
No wonder LSU doesn’t throw. None of their guys can catch.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:21 PM
another 3 and out. Alabama must capitalize. Saban has to get more aggressive inside the 30.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:22 PM
There better not be any chest passing in the Dr Pepper halftime or Sousedbergin will choke a bitch
/team third person when planning felonies
January 9th, 2012 at 9:22 PM

January 9th, 2012 at 9:23 PM
They tackle a whole hell lot better than the fucking Lions.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:24 PM
Huge drive for Bama here. LSU is too good in the 2nd half to only be up 3 at the half
January 9th, 2012 at 9:24 PM
That receiver is so bad he couldnt even catch a tebow pass. Nice drop, douche
January 9th, 2012 at 9:26 PM
Blazing Saddles is on AMC, just FYI. Harvey Korman just called Madeline Kahn a ‘Teutonic twat’.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:26 PM
This is pathetic
January 9th, 2012 at 9:27 PM
big time 3rd down throw by AJ. I’m shocked. holding my breath when he’s throwing over the middle
January 9th, 2012 at 9:27 PM
each team should get a point for each first down. then maybe one of them would get to 7
January 9th, 2012 at 9:27 PM
Love blazing saddles
January 9th, 2012 at 9:27 PM
Dear SEC homers,
This is called bad offense.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:28 PM
“Yoohoo, boooys!…Hey, where the white women at?”
January 9th, 2012 at 9:30 PM
Trent breaks loose. ALabama needs to break out the “TD playbook” now.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:31 PM
Watching a game like this where the defense are dominating the the offenses can’t get much going, is like going to a Duchamp exhibit and trying to appreciate it.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:32 PM
he ran into his own player. unreal.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:32 PM
This is terrible. There are exactly two playmakers and maybe five intriguing players in this game. I’m very pro-playoff but these teams probably would have met anyway in whatever format they’d come up with. They’re the best, but by far the most boring teams in the national championship I can remember.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:32 PM
6-0. game over?
January 9th, 2012 at 9:33 PM
LSU is smelling awfully fraudy.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:33 PM
Brent saying “here we go again” as in we’re going to have another game with only field goals does nothing to increase my watching experience. Brent definitely took the under.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:33 PM
They need to replay this game on long flights
January 9th, 2012 at 9:33 PM
I hope this score holds up and we get split title. Hearing SEC fans moan will be amazing.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:34 PM
Split titles are gay. Nebraska got hosed in 97.

January 9th, 2012 at 9:35 PM
Well done, Rex.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:36 PM
This is the quietest I’ve ever heard SEC fans on this site. Normally they’re screaming about how everyone commenting about college football is an idiot. This is what it’s like watching an ACC game btw. Shit everywhere.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:37 PM
I would normally pop a No-Doz to stay awake but the drug company recalled all of the products that I’ve been using for the last year, damnit.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:37 PM
I think you’ve mistaken this place with foxsports.com
January 9th, 2012 at 9:38 PM
Alabama owning the first half. Big 3rd down here. Alabama gets a stop and has a shot to add points int he final 2 minutes.
Oh, wait, i forget about the Alabama offense! Scratch that.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:38 PM
Gerald Lee? LOL.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:39 PM
Throw a deep pass, faggots.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:39 PM
LSU sucks right now. That’s the execution out of a timeout. Quality.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:39 PM
Favorite part of Blazing Saddles coming up:
“Does anyone have a dime? Someone has gotta go back and get a shitload of dimes!”
January 9th, 2012 at 9:40 PM
lol at having to go back to 2010 to show a fucking TD.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:40 PM
Fuck all the SEC fans. This game blows. Jordan Jefferson makes Tim Tebow look like Tom Brady
January 9th, 2012 at 9:41 PM
I see Brent had Alabama in that game during 2010
January 9th, 2012 at 9:41 PM
Do these two offenses basically run off tackles and screens? Christ, do something different.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:41 PM
Put Andrew Luck or RGIII in this game and it is a blowout
January 9th, 2012 at 9:41 PM
6 quarters and overtime with no touchdowns. Yeah, these are the two best teams in the country.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:42 PM
c’mon. they are not getting in to FG range with this play calling.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:42 PM
So…maybe Les puts that other shitty QB in the game?
January 9th, 2012 at 9:43 PM
Easily could fit right in with one of his old MNF quotes. Of special note:
“Ray Lewis knifed through those offensive linemen like a sucker-punch switchblade slicing between the ribs of some inebriated trash-talking punk outside a sports bar.”

This is like watching the Redskins against the Vikings. Lotta screen passes, draw plays, and terrible penalties.
/Rewatching overtime of the Broncos/Steelers game at the half.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:43 PM

Honey badger is a whiny cunt.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:45 PM
So will this kick be blocked, or block and run back for a TD?
January 9th, 2012 at 9:46 PM
no way they make this kick. no way.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:46 PM
Why did they wait so long to start throwing like this? To ‘establish the run’? Fucking stupid.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:46 PM
Huge, huge field goal here if Bama can score. 9-0 doesn’t equal game over, but …
Alabama gets the ball first 2nd half.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:46 PM
HB will fit in well on many NFL teams in 2013 – he can’t tackle properly for shit

Saving him, keeping him fresh. there’s a lot of big hits out there. Lacy can take some hits and run the ball well. TR will be fresh in the 4th and maybe get some big runs to keep drives alive. Roll Tide

January 9th, 2012 at 9:56 PM
OKST would be up 21-7 at half.
Jefferson is bad at playing quarterback.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:57 PM
Ok State should be in this game…Blackmon would destroy Claiborne & Honey Badger..
January 9th, 2012 at 9:58 PM
Unlikely. I’m sure 2 or 3 1st round caliber secondary players guarding Blackmon would contain him.
January 9th, 2012 at 9:59 PM
Nah. 2 of the best DEF’s in the country. plus, OKST’s DEF is sorta weak, Bama and LSU could put up 28-30 pts, while keeping them in the teens.
/Waits for +1 in the next couple of years to prove point.

It’s mind-boggling that Les Miles couldn’t use 5 weeks to get Jarrett Lee ready to sling the ball around a little bit.

Messi could outscore these two offensive juggernauts by himself. No doubt.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:28 PM
McCarron has missed 2 TDs tonight. One was on the TE/WR; the other was on AJ.
That being said, i may have to adjust my 2012 preseason rankings. I didn’t think McCarron was this good.

January 9th, 2012 at 10:37 PM
How is it that these two teams get great offensive recruits and they end up sucking hobo balls?
January 9th, 2012 at 10:37 PM

I now see that Gunner Kiel has committed to LSU. I guess they got their qb.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:39 PM
Do understand how good these DEF’s are??? I mean Bama avg 9.3 pts/game on DEF and I believe LSU was like 10pts/game. They would SHUTDOWN OkSt/STAN, and believe the only team that would give them some fits is ORE
January 9th, 2012 at 10:40 PM
Jarrett Lee probably going to get in the game soon. pick six, or rally?

Caribou – these defenses are good but the offenses are actually this bad. They only seem good during the year when they play the rest of the SEC which plays no defense

Does LSU have more than one page in their playbook? Pitiful.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:43 PM
If Tebow is truly a benevolent God, no one named f’n Gunner Kiel will ever be a successful athlete.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:43 PM
Credit to the alabama coaches. They realize they can’t run on LSU and changed up the offense. If they kept stubbornly trying to run the ball we’d have a 0-0 game.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:44 PM
He hasn’t even thrown a warm-up pass. Not gonna happen.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:44 PM
Well college football averages are pretty much worthless, and I believe WVU also put a ton of yards up on one of these teams so….
January 9th, 2012 at 10:44 PM
That missed FG makes it likely. Hell, if Peyton Manning can be named this year’s MVP by his own league’s magazine…
January 9th, 2012 at 10:44 PM
Herbie, if that was Jefferson saying “I have to get the ball out of my hands quickly” then I’d say that his motor responses are as quick as the speed of smell.

I just want a TD. That’s all. Won’t even be content with another FG.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:45 PM
Believe me, when I’m betting games, I want a team with OFF, and big OFF at that. when I want to win a game, I want my team to play DEF. these teams have got 8-10 guys that will go in the 1st 3 rounds this 2012 draft. ALA might have 6-7 guys that go. This might be one of the best DEF of All-time and that’s not an exaggeration.
/Checks 1992 ALA Def stats, yep, 2011 better.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:45 PM
Rondo, Geno Smith from WVU lit up the LSU defense. Unfortunately, the LSU offense lit up WVU.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:46 PM
That’s fucking bullshit. You can’t tell me that Andrew Luck wouldn’t ATLEAST put up ONE touchdown against these teams. Quit drinking the kool aid.

January 9th, 2012 at 10:47 PM
This game is worse than listening to Skip Bayless
January 9th, 2012 at 10:47 PM
so is he gonna make the FG or miss it this time?
January 9th, 2012 at 10:47 PM
DK, we may not always see eye to eye, but a +1 to you on this. These defenses are not as good as their offenses make them look.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:47 PM
it really, really is too bad he didn’t hold on. that could have been the game if he catches that. Bama would have scored a TD there.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:48 PM

Awesome.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:49 PM
And don’t come back with your “great defense” argument. No one is denying that. But if you are so homer-tastic that you can’t even CONSIDER the fact that these offenses are hot pile of garbage, there’s no point in arguing back and forth.

January 9th, 2012 at 10:50 PM
That’s also twice that LSU has had a easy -8 yd sack and with one of their “superior” defensive standing on McCarron’s dick and were unable to bring him down.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:50 PM
Coming up on 7 quarters without a TD.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:52 PM
What’s bullshit? I didn’t say he wouldn’t get a TD, I said that they would keep OkSt/Stan in the teen’s, use football math.
Point being they need a playoff no doubt. this year would have been perfect. having said that, would you not agree that LSU, prior to this game, was the best team in the nation? if so, Bama had as much right as OkST, STAN to be in this game. Bama just happened to give LSU all it had earlier in the year and the voters leaned that way.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:52 PM

Never said that teams were great offenses. Bama has ALWAYS been play good DEF, control the ball, run it and causes TO’s. I’ve never seen a Bama team throw the ball around and gain 500 yds/game consistently. Don’t want to see it either. Rather seen them play great DEF shut these OFF juggernauts down.

Playing LSU twice a year will really boost your defensive stats
January 9th, 2012 at 10:57 PM
Watching these “offense” operate, I don’t know what to believe. Ofcourse, you can make a valid argument that despite their flaws, these are the best two teams in the nation. But god damn, 7 quarters without ONE touchdown. That’s not fluke. That’s not great defense. That’s fucking bullshit, garbage ass offense.
It may not be you, but it just get’s tiresome seeing SEC homers make excuse for this shit. Great defenses are being made to look 10 times better by garbage ass offense. I don’t see how anyone can disagree.
January 9th, 2012 at 10:57 PM

January 9th, 2012 at 11:03 PM
I would agree that Bama’s offense is not terribly good, especially with Maze on the bench with a bad hammy. But, they have been very good at getting the ball to the 20, where LSU’s D just completely suffocates that life out of everyone. So, they settle for FG’s.
What Bama’s D is doing to LSU is just ridiculous. It isn’t that there isn’t anyone open. There is no time to even take a drop, let alone look for a pass. And running? Forget it.
And LSU has beaten up some damn good teams this year and they look like the ’06 Buckeyes…

Alabama defense is punishing. There’s 8 mins left and LSU has 87 yards of total offense.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:09 PM
Didn’t both these teams, in particular OK, put up big nos. that year and the title was a surprise for how low scoring it was? I used to run a pool thruoughout the year for PSU scores and our big payout at the end of the year was PSU’s bowl game or the BCS title game. I believe the guy who won the pool, like $200, picked OK 27-23, but he was the low score picker.

“My goodness give me something to get excited about!”
Wow, Brent letting his actual feelings show through.

That might have been the worst option run I’ve ever seen. What. The. Fuck. Was. That.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:11 PM
stop running the option!
January 9th, 2012 at 11:11 PM
Yeah, the option doesn’t work. Stop it. Just…stop it.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:11 PM
Sputtering. “Get ya roll on”.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:12 PM
yeah FSU and OK had big time offenses. FSU did not do shit in that game. Had one good pass and that was it.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:12 PM
Just blows my mind that nobody could beat these teams this year. This is pathetic
January 9th, 2012 at 11:12 PM
No penalties for ‘Bama yet? Wow.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:12 PM
What the fuck was that
January 9th, 2012 at 11:12 PM
Squawk – Russell was at least a competent college QB
Funny – the only games I saw him play in college (2-3) he was awful … and in one game, literally gave it away.
Hey – what’s the score – I’m not watching.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:12 PM
That was a pass? What the fuck kind of sorry excuse for a pass was that?
January 9th, 2012 at 11:13 PM

WTF was Jefferson doing there, hurling the ball past the LOS?
January 9th, 2012 at 11:14 PM
Oh hey finally going for it…..and can’t even get the pass off!
Congrats to Alabama. They just won.

January 9th, 2012 at 11:17 PM
That OU defense > this Bama defense — Torrence Marshall, Rocky Calmus, etc. With Josh Heupel (legend) running the offense, that was probably the best team of the BCS era.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:17 PM
Brian Schottenheimer looks like an offensive genius compared to these coaches.

You all can scream about the offenses till blue in the face, facts show that when the Sec plays whatever flavor of the year great offense, the oklahomas, texas’s tosu oregon, they are all made to look just as bad.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:19 PM
The sad part is if bama had made their damn field goals in the first game we would had bama vs ok st tonight instead of this shit box.

January 9th, 2012 at 11:20 PM
I often wonder just how much TBL bets? I’ve never seen anyone agonize so much about each bet.
On twitter at half “I’m going for a run so I can calm down” After the fumble “I can finally breathe”.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:21 PM
You cant even make an extra point? Kill yourself
January 9th, 2012 at 11:21 PM
You kidding me? He missed the fucking extra point? That is just the perfect end to this game.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:21 PM
Eat shit Les Miles and LSU.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:21 PM
Didn’t Oregon score like 19 points and almost won that game last year?
January 9th, 2012 at 11:22 PM

January 9th, 2012 at 11:22 PM
good candidate. I’d consider 2004 USC too.
pretty sure it is the mortgage payment.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:23 PM
Pigskin – Oregon put up plenty of points on LSU this season. Alabama’s defense got lit up by D-IAA Georgia Southern. These defenses can be scored on by competent offenses. Look what Georgia did to LSU before the tigers woke up in the sec title game
January 9th, 2012 at 11:24 PM
I was pretty much just trolling with that last comment (apparently I sort of succeeded). That OU team gets my sentimental vote, but I’d agree with JHS and 2004 USC for my real vote. Maybe 2005 Texas.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:24 PM
Lots of relative fucking going on in Bammer tonight
January 9th, 2012 at 11:25 PM
That pass wasn’t even close! Whoever said it earlier is right, Jefferson has got to be point shaving like crazy.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:25 PM
Kaiser- yes they did. Sec defense shuts down no one but there own.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:26 PM
Jefferson still in the game = Giving CPR to hobo you just strangled, so you can strangle him again
January 9th, 2012 at 11:27 PM
Richardson looks like a Chris Johnson in training, complete with the hair.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:27 PM
Here’s hoping Saban gets a cooler to the face like he did against Texas two years ago.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:28 PM
This is endemic off one team hearing all off six weeks how great they are and how the title belongs to them. College football needs an overhaul.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:28 PM
Without a doubt the worst nc game I have ever seen
January 9th, 2012 at 11:28 PM
Boy, Saban don’t let up, eh?
January 9th, 2012 at 11:29 PM
Atlanta Falcons think LSU sucks on offense
January 9th, 2012 at 11:29 PM
Brent, Bear Bryant coached at Alabama for 30 years. Let’s not call Saban the next Bear Bryant.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:29 PM
Stop it.
The ’01 Canes team can be considered. But, the ’02 version was second best for the year.
OSU and Miami sent 40+ guys to the NFL from the ’02 game.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:30 PM
Im so glad we waited over a month to see this game
January 9th, 2012 at 11:31 PM
Brent, Alabama dominated LSU’s offense, but their offense was settling for field goals all night and couldn’t punch it in from the red zone. Let’s not call this an across the board domination, K?
January 9th, 2012 at 11:31 PM
It was 33-13 with 8 minutes left. That was a pure and utter destruction of a potent Ducks offense. 335 yards total offense, half came in the 4th quarter when it was out of reach.

Last two he gets to see Garrett Gilbert with no playing time under his belt, and this year Jordan Jefferson.
You can’t ask for better luck.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:34 PM
So when is game 3 of this series?
January 9th, 2012 at 11:34 PM
Not sure what else you could call it. Bama’s offense wasn’t great, but they were playing another dominant defense in LSU’s.
They gave up 91 yards total.

January 9th, 2012 at 11:43 PM
Enjoy dominance. Alabama was virtually perfect tonight. 1 penalty (with 2 minutes left), 91 yards given up. They managed to put up almost 400 yards (despite not scoring a TD on so many chances).
The game wasn’t interesting, but that doesn’t take away from an absolutely dominating team.
