don't think that's what did Bama in. giving up 14 to LSU just before the half the last from a Bama INT by Tua put Bama in catch up mode. while not 100% Tua was a better option that their backup. yeah that guy can crush Arkansas but not LSU. Tua nearly brought them back.
Makes Hurts leaving for ZerOU a big issue. Bama hadn't needed him until today. it caught up with them

Bama got lucky as it is. they had 3 weeks for Tua to heal as best he could, he got hurt during the Tennessee game, their backup was more than good enough for Arkansas. and they had a bye coming up to LSU. of course so did LSU ..
Bama has the tougher finish. after their scrimmage against "powerhouse" WCU they have the always dangerous rivalry game with 7-2 Aubie. LSU gets Ole Miss (4-6) Arkansas (2-8) before A&M (6-3).
LSU should win out barring an injury to Burrow. if i had to call their SEC champion opponent i'd go with UGA. LSU should be the favorite but UGA can win if they play up to their max.
