For anybody that hasn't figured it out, THE strength of LSU is that they are as good at the end of the 4th Qtr as they were at the beginning of the 1st. It's like putting a 2-stroke up against a CAT diesel. They just keep digging.

OkieSt and LSU would have been a good watch. I have no doubt State would have scored points. Have no idea how they would fare by late 3d. I do know Alabama held up through 4, BUT had all the football they cared to play that day.

NC will be a different game than the first but still a toss up. Really torn as to whether or not Alabama came out ahead on this. Capt Ahab keeps coming to mind. Stanford sure would have been good to see.

One negative we may see next year; with all the talk about rankings based on score, you may not see many winning teams taking a knee late in the 4th inside the red. Those extra touchdowns start to take on a new value when the BCS points get as close as they were this year.
