The lack of offensive creativity frustrated me the most.
How many times do you need to see a speed option get crushed 2 yards behind the line before you try something else? Granted, Alabama was applying immense pressure, but you need to try to get it down the field. They tried 3 legit down field passes, Jefferson was looking off his 1st option and running. Lee would have at least gone through a progression.
The LSU defense, while a bit flat, did a great job overall. They bent but didn't break until it was obvious that the game was over.
The rumor mill is coming off its hinges in Baton Rouge, major contributors are tweeting about their lack of playing time (Russell Shepherd saw 3 plays). Jarrett Lee has been the bigger man about it so far. The anti-Miles contingent is crowing again.
