LSU has only managed to get a FG despite having a shitload more plays. Les Miles and Co. play "pucker-butt" football and don't have the balls to play big time offensive football in games against Alabama. Les Miles is afraid of Nick Saban and the Alabama defense to the point that they refuse to take calculated risks and trust their players to make plays on offense. Meanwhile, Alabama trusts AJ McCarron and their WRs to make big plays between smashmouth runs. LSU's defense is big and athletic but undisciplined and either over pursue or go for ESPN hits instead of just wrapping the son of a bitch up and tackling him. Alabama is the perfect storm of stifling defense and a balanced offense that let's their nuts drop when they need to. Alabama's offense is too good to play "pucker butt" football and hope you can win with field goals. Les Miles is the biggest fluke since Larry Coker.
