1. Don’t recall ever seeing that ever happen. Plus, I think he aggravated his ankle on that play. 2. Most stupid pass play this year. Run the ball or take a knee and go to locker room and regroup. 3. Nerves got to punter and he muffs at the worst possible time.
Those 3 plays cost us the game. Even the poor tackling could have been overcome if Bama makes just 2 of those mistakes.

Those mistakes did NOT cost us the game.
1. Tua fumbled at the 8 yard line. We normally celebrate if we down a punt inside the 10. Our defense let LSU drive the ball 92 yards for the score. That's on the defense, not Tua 2. Bad throw for sure. Bama o-lineman getting a 15-yard penalty is what made it even worse. Again, our defense couldn't stop them 3. Another bad play but again our defense couldn't stop them
If it wasn't for Tua we wouldn't have even been in the game period. Our defense sucks beyond belief and that's why we lost. The Saban teams of old had good enough defenses that they could hold the opponent to a field goal or even force them to punt if we gave up a turnover. Not tonight. That defense that was on the field tonight for Bama was the worst I've seen since Saban arrived. No tackling, no intensity, very little pass rush, and it seemed like LSU gained 3-5 extra yards every play by falling forward because our defense wasn't tough enough to wrap up and take them down immediately.
My perception of Bama is the same as it's been all year: Tua and those WR's cover up a lot of deficiencies, but our defense and special teams is garbage. And it caught up with us tonight. We're still the best 1-loss team in the country and the season ain't over tonight, don't count us out
