I find it funny that some people think Alabama isn't worth a shit football team, YES LSU beat Alabama the first time around 9-6. Before Alabama and LSU played the first time LSU was beating every team they faced to death putting a lot points on the score board and winning easily . But Alabama shut LSU down the first game they played, LSU couldn't score touch downs in the first meeting and they won by field goals. And in the National Championship game Alabama shut LSU down again LSU scored no touch downs or any points period.
So it's funny how all the LSU fans/people were talking shit about how good LSU is/was and that LSU was just going to horse f@ck Alabama in the National Championship game. Hell if any team didn't belong in the National Championship game it was LSU which is obvious now. Plain and simple LSU got lucky in the first game, and Jan.10,2012 they simply got their ass handed to them on both sides of the ball.
Offense win ball games
Defense win Championships
