Several thoughts on the teams and game.
1) LSU has the better talent and team and in the end they won the game. We could not handle their front 7 on defense or their offensive line.

2)Alabama is at a level of play that we have not seen this late in the season in several years.

3) Saban and the staff are helping this team to compete for 60 minutes- something that has been missing.

4)I expect the two teams to switch positions in the next two to three years.

5) Replay officals - the game was over officated from the replay booth. If the crew on the field misses that many calls (4 were over turned) they need to be fired. I am suspicious of this. LSU made many mistakes and kept the game close but I would say the replay officals bailed them out where they could. First,the fumble then the 41 yard catch. To over turn a call you need indisputable evidence- neither one of those plays were that clear. Why was this? I don't know but I have a suspicion that may sound sore loser-ish, but here it is. LSU is the last chance the SEC has for a BCS champion game and if they lose it is over. This is probably not right, but both those calls should not have been overturned because there was not enough evidence.

6)Bama was the better coached team.LSU is undisciplined and allows teams to stay with them.

7)BAMA is on the right track and I hope we can win out!
