"Worst BCS Title game ever." "Boring game." I really don't understand all the complaints over the national title game between Alabama and LSU. I would gladly take this game over the Baylor-Washington 67-56 fiasco. There wasn't a hint of defense played in that game. There were maybe three even slightly redeeming defensive plays made in the game. The offenses of each might as well have been playing against air. Alabama-LSU had some offense. More from Alabama obviously. The game just had a bunch of defense. At times amazing defense. The problem that the LSU defense had was they made their stops on the wrong side of the 50. They allowed field goals, five of them. They blocked another and Alabama missed a seventh attempt. The lone touchdown of the game was scored late when the game was pretty much decided. The problem that the LSU offense had was that they couldn't string successive productive plays together. They'd make one play and Alabama would put up a wall and allow no more. LSU didn't cross the 50 until the fourth quarter. Alabama's defense was phenomenal. LSU's defense was only great. Some have said that Oklahoma St. or Stanford would have provided an offensive spark to the big game. It would be awesome to see two excellent quarterbacks like Brandon Weeden and Andrew Luck throw at the defenses of Alabama and LSU. Those teams didn't earn the shot. The BCS clowns are supposed to put the two best teams on the field. They did.
People have to understand that a great football game doesn't have to only be a great offensive game. Defense is fun too.
