| "I'm quite sure we've answered all of them bruh!" |
That's how most people felt that I talked to or communicated with on Twitter last night after seeing Alabama beat the brakes off of LSU 21-0 in the BCS Title game. So many of them have never seen great football so out of ignorance they immediately said that was the worse football game they had ever seen. However, connoisseurs of the game saw it from a completely different vantage point.
What most people don't realize is that they had an opportunity to see one the best defensive outputs in college football history. It wasn't that LSU was that bad. The fact of the matter was that Alabama's defense was just that good.
"They are unbelievable," said Alabama offensive lineman Barrett Jones, relieved that he only has to go against them in practice. That defense is as good as any defense I've ever seen. They rush the passer, they have awesome linebackers and they're great in coverage. They really don't have any weaknesses. They have to be as good as any defense ever."
Let's keep it real! LSU averaged 38 points a game and was undefeated in the SEC after winning the conference title. The same conference that has now won the last 6 BCS National Titles. These boyz have been blowing the doors off of everything in their path in route to New Orleans except for Alabama.
On November 5th in Tuscaloosa, LSU got out of town with a 9-6 victory because the Crimson Tide kicking game failed them. To be quite honest, Bama out played LSU in that ball game from start to finish. If not for 4 missed field goals Bama would have come into the title game #1 and LSU would have been #2.
Either way it would have been a rematch because quite honestly they were the best two teams in the country bar none. I know that so many people were screaming for Oklahoma State to play in the title game because they didn't want a rematch. I'm glad this isn't the NBA All-Star Game and the fans get to vote because the Cowboys would have been embarrassed on national television if they have been in New Orleans.
I'm loyal to the Big 12 because my Sooners play in that league but one thing they don't play in that conference is defense. How can you go 12-1 like the Cowboys did and win the conference and have the 107th ranked defense in the country out of 120 teams? Thank God they didn't play Bama or LSU!
Alabama's defense will go down as one of the best ever. LSU didn't cross midfield until there were 8 minutes left in the game bruh. The Tigers finished with just 92 yards and five first downs total. Bama was so locked and loaded that they only committed one penalty all night long and it didn't come until about 3 minutes left. Wheredeydodatat?
"This defense is built on stopping them, and that's what we did," said Upshaw, the game's defensive MVP. "We wanted to come out and show the world we beat ourselves the first game. We wanted to come out and dominate from start to finish, and that's what we did."
I'm just glad that it wasn't even close because the Associated Press started talking crazy last week after #3 Oklahoma State beat #4 Stanford in the Fiesta Bowl. There were rumblings that if Bama beat LSU they would possibly vote Oklahoma State their #1! I guess Boone T. Pickens must have gotten to some voters or something if they were even considering that foolishness.
All I can say is Roll Tide Roll and that they did bruh. I guess the good people of Tuscaloosa didn't sleep at all last night. The Bama faithful rolled into the French Quarter after the game with an attitude and took over Bourbon Street eating all of the crawfish etouffee and gumbo they could find. I just hope they can drive home today. Congratulations to the Crimson Tide! Roll Tide Roll!
Holla At Ya Boy!
