2011 BCS Championship: LSU Tigers vs Alabama Crimson Tide

2011 BCS National Championship: #1 LSU Tigers vs #2 Alabama Crimson Tide

January 9, 2012 - NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana. The #1 LSU Tigers & #2 Alabama Crimson Tide will meet again at the Superdome! The #1 LSU Tigers won their regular season meeting in overtime, against the #2 Alabama Crimson Tide by a score of 9-6.

Slow start for the LSU Tigers. Alabama Roll Tide leads 3-0 at end of 1st quarter. Turning point in the game for the LSU Tigers could be the Jeremy Shelley 42 yard field goal attempt blocked by LSU in the 2nd quarter?
            Nope that wasn't it.

Maybe the turning point in the game for the LSU Tigers will be the Jeremy Shelley 41 yard field goal attempt missed in the 3rd quarter?
            Nope that wasn't it either.

Maybe the sack of Alabama QuarterBack McCarron in early in the 4th quarter?
            Nope that wasn't it either.

Alabama Crimson Tide wins BCS Championship game 21-0.

The Louisiana State University Tigers got taken behind the wood shed on Monday night, getting blown out by the Alabama Crimson Tide during the BCS National Championship game. It was extremely embarrassing for the LSU Tigers and the LSU Tiger fans. Was there more to this humiliating defeat than just a good old-fashion butt-kicking? We may never know. Jarrett Lee rots on the bench while Jordan Jefferson stinks it up on the field

There's a conspiracy theory floating around down on the Bayou about Les Miles & his offense coaching staff melt down: Is There Smoke? Is There Another Reason Why LSU Lost? Was there something going on behind the scenes to explain Louisiana State University's non-performance in the game? Isn't Les Miles is too good a coach to not do what is best for his team and to try to win? I don't agree with the "throwing the game" aspect of the article; however, it was totally out of character for Les Miles to stick with LSU Quarterback Jordan Jefferson throughout the pitiful offensive performance. One would expect based on Les Miles's previous behavior that Jarrett Lee would have at least have been put in for one offensive series, or definitely a single down or two. At some point in the 4th quarter, every Louisiana State University fan was asking, "Where is Jarrett Lee?" In the past, Les Miles has not been hard-headed or boring. Historically Les Miles's teams are dynamic in their offensive play calling, especially late in the game when a momentum shift is required. On Monday, it seemed like Miles was being hard-headed and trying to prove a point. I've gotta believe the conspiracy theory in this case. LSU Quarterback Jarrett Lee was definitely on Les Miles bad side. Or maybe Les Miles has graduated to a full-fledged mad-hatter. You know, mercury does makes you crazy!
