What a boring game

It was a man's game played by men. Anyone who thought it was boring should probably stick with Dancing With The Stars.

Can't believe anyone Vols fan would think Bama's national title hopes (probably) going up in flames in overtime on their own field would be boring.

This. One of my friends who is a UVA fan said if an ACC team had played, the ACC team would have given up anf left at halftime.

Boring game was boring.

I'm all for watching good defenses, but I saw more horrible quarterback play than should ever be seen in the "best game evaaaar."

Praying there isn't a rematch in the title game.

Serious question- Has there been a qb all year that looked good against either of these defenses?

Who? Best offense in the conference arky had less than 20 yds rushing. Wilson was 22 of 35 with 209 yds passing 2 td/1 int. 38-14 final score. Thats an awesome start line, right?

Nobody said it was the best game ever. It doesn't have to be perfect to be riveting. The defenses were spectacular; the quarterbacks weren't good; the special teams play was great on one side and awful on the other. And it decided the game, as it should have. That game was Neyland's maxims personified. If you thought that game was boring then your father failed you.

West Virginia put nearly 500 yards passing on LSU.

Brantley was doing good against Bama until he got hurt. 11/16 198 yards.

The only good game was the one you mentioned, Alabama vs Arkansas.

Sorry, if I wanted to watch incompetent quarterback play I'd watch high school football.

Oregon qb was 31/54 with 240 yds passing 1 td/1 int. Very average for one of the top offenses in the country. LSU has only gotten better and would dominate them even more if they play again today.

Both teams have had good quarterback play all year. You think the defenses involved had anything to do with the fact that they suddenly both looked incompetent on the same night?

Not really. Maybe Alabamas defense.

LSU has played 1 (one) good team with a good passing attack and they got torched for nearly 500 yards at a 60% completion rate.

I'd like to know how you define "good."

Alabama - 68th ranked Passing attack
LSU - 102nd

Good? I don't think so.

don't get me wrong I wish we could be 9-0 and win a boring game against an arch rival

but that LSU Alabama game was a huge letdown for the rest of the nation that is not a fan of these two teams

I was the only one of 8 people who could stay up to watch the end of the game. and I wish I would have gone to bed earlier that overtime was terrible...

I will be sooo glad when Saben's rule of terror is over in the SEC... these types of games are his MO

BOTTOM LINE
QB play was not national championship level..many open receives were missed or not seen and when they were open catches were not made

This made the defense look better than it was because they only have to defend one dimension

you obviously have no clue about football.

If you were bored, you were bored. Obviously nobody can persuade you differently. All I know is that at the house where I watched the game, the women were all bored stiff and in the kitchen talking about their kids and celebrities and stuff, while the all the men could barely drag themselves away from the TV long enough to go get more beer. If you can't appreciate a game like that, then too bad for you.

Too bad for me. I can't appreciate a game with seemingly good defense, although it's hard to tell when both offenses were painfully 1 dimensional.

I don't know what's exciting about watching good defense, horrible offense, and horrible special teams. Do you enjoy pop warner and high school football?

No thanks. I'm not that confident. Talk to me after the Arkansas game. I want to see LSU against another team with a competent passing game before I put my money where my mouth is.
