Literally every other bowl game this year has been more exciting.

Is it just me or does college football seem to allow much better hitting than the NFL. It seems like a lot of these hits we are seeing would be penalties in teh NFL.

Zzzzz.

Granted it seems like LSU has no issues scoring on anyone else so I guess that means both defenses are definitely good.

Wow can't believe he couldn't seal the deal on that run, won't matter though I think the first down will stand.

I'm too late with a quarter already by the books, but considering the venue and final rankings, how's this possible?

Because the venue being an advantage is pretty much a myth and the line is basically being set by the way the money is falling. Plus many people look well beyond polls. Anyone who watched the first game knows that Bama outplayed LSU and probably should have won.

Some people like scoring... I like watching defenses and special teams dominate. So with that blocked FG I can now retract my earlier zzz.

someone should get LSU a real offensive coordinator - and some real QB's for that matter

it's sick how much talent is on both squads - I'm guessing 30+ nfl players

yet - amazingly - zero NFL QB's

Oh please. NOBODY likes to watch a defensive struggle.
Stop acting like you're a football snob.

How's it a myth if a clear majority of screaming fans inside a dome are rooting for one team? You make a fair point about the first game (which I didn't watch) but if Alabama lost at home because they had to keep going to an unreliable kicker, I don't see how that makes them a favorite now. Betting action certainly moves the line, but I wonder how many points Saban gets over Miles.

I don't dislike strong defenses and the score doesn't show it thus far, but Alabama is playing well against a strong defense. LSU hasn't done much at all except bending, but not breaking.

I really do. I like games that end up in the 21-14ish or so range tops. That means you had at least good play in all phases.
