As far as im concerned this 2011 Alabama defense was not only the toughest defense in Alabama football history , but the toughest defense in the history of NCAA football . That defense would absolutely HURT YOU. This is coming from a die hard Auburn fan
1992 was way betta bone. They ran Miami receivers down and took the ball away from them!
@@wildestcowboy2668that defense also put all eleven on the line of scrimmage once against Miami!!!! What a statement!!! What an ass kicking!!! Guess Miami shouldn’t have done all that pregame taunting down in the Quarter?!?! Hahahahaha
@@seldomseensavage3459 I was 16yrs old and was worried cause David Palmer was sick. Had the duece been 💯 it would have been really ugly! I'll never forget that game!
Nice comment & if it weren’t for ‘92 team, I’d probably agree. That whole decade of defenses…damn!!!
Meant that for you Van
So coming into this game the national media had declared that if LSU won, they should be considered the greatest team of all time. Bama hammered them and suddenly the media had nothing to say. This Alabama defense by the way ranked 1st in the nation in 5 major categories and was probably the greatest in the modern era of college football.
Bama had da gama won in da 1$t one but that kicka shanked it g
1992 and 2011 Alabama National Championship defenses the best ever.

2015 and 2017 was pretty good too
@@bobbywagner67 15 yes , only thing 2017 lacked was a consistent pass rush. Linebackers and secondary were on par with 2015 and 16 tho
To this day, that introduction video is the single best one in all of professional sports. It brings a tear to my eye every time it is played.
Reminds me of NCAA 13
Tbh I like the CBS one better born the year before CBS started the rights to SEC games and gonna be sad when it’s over.
The good days of college football when faking injuries wasn’t a thing and breathing on the opposing player wasn’t PI.
@@BlameeeJay that’s exactly what I thought, brings back good memories
32-31
I just want to thank the person who posted this game RTR !!!!
The defense was legendary, AJ McCarron was a beast at Bama.
You only know AJ because of his girlfriend, who was sexy AF.
Loved him! My favorite player. They wouldn't really give him much of a chance in the NFL. He was a good leader, good at reading defenses.
Beast means “average at best” in Alabama I guess
@@cornalien8435 AJ was pretty good, how was he average?
its so wild coming back to this and watching how different the game was.
Best defensive performance since the 93 Sugar Bowl. LSU hasn't been the same since
bammybound that was a good defensive performance on both teams but LSU got outcoached
THEY STILL AINT RIGHT
I think 2012 yeldon screen ruined us more than this game.
Christian Keller Facts
J L F III but we kick Georgia ass 🤔
As a Bama fan, I am soo glad that Les let Jefferson stay in game !!!
It wouldn’t have mattered who was at quarterback. Alabama was to dominate that night. That defense played out of there mind.
@@chadmilligan342 Knowing LSU's offensive plays in advance made it a lot easier. I don't blame Jefferson; he was not a power 5 starting QB. Thank you Les Miles.
Bama had that game won before they went out there.
the Les Miles era at LSU was never the same after this game
A defensive performance for the ages. Will never forget how utterly demoralized the LSU sideline looked. They beat them in every phase.
LSU has only scored 20 points or more only once against Alabama since 2009..that was the 2019 season they had over 20..Alabama has totally dominated this rivalry but the national narrative always talking about how close its been but in reality it hasn't been that close
Only because of the saban magic
Not this year lol
Add this year to that list.
Bama has dominated bit lots of games have been close. Same with Georgia.
Anyone know where I can find some good LSU highlights from this game? The only video I found was 17 seconds long and half of it was during warmups.
When they finally crossed the 50 💀
Little bit of symmetry When Bama has gone to the championship game after not making it to the sec championship game they’ve played the SEC champion in a Mercedes Bendz stadium in the home state of the team they beat
Yeap I never thought about that..both games was almost like a road game for Alabama..the UGA game was a thriller but this LSU game was totally dominated by Alabama..i watch this game plenty of times but I'm still amaze how Alabama just man handle LSU
It took LSU 8 years and 2 more shutouts (IN BR!!) for them to beat 'Bama by 5 points.
Only to get destroyed by Bama 55-17 a season later.
LSU only won by 5 because they took their foot off the gas or it would of been another ou semifinal game
@@Photograph1974 yeah bama destroyed a injured,opted out and inexperienced lsu team congrats
Best defense Bama ever had
"WE IN HERE!" that described this game, we were here and you not getting there. 🔥🔥🔥
Did you notice in three of them game it was a 37-yard field goal miss by each of those teams and one was 39 yards less than 40. That is crazy
Wow their star receiver got hurt on the 1st play and bama still kinda blew out LSU...... Maze was an amazing playa!
If Bama had spread offense back then. LSU would have got torched
You could say the same for a bunch of other teams.
Bama has not been the same since they went to the spread. Started downhill. Been a Tide fan since the Bryant era
The time when FOUR consecutive National Titles went to Alabama schools. I can't imagine why the college football world got Alabama fatigue🙄🙄
Pat Sullivan talked about this. He said whomever you favor this was a great accomplishment for the state of Alabama and all people in the state should be proud. Of course Auburn played for the title and almost won in 2013.
This why the college playoff was made" two teams in the same division on the same side an one team at home 🏡.... C'mon mane since 2011 sec been on 🔝🎩
2:15:20 Prophetic words
LSU crossed midfield 1 time (halfway through the 4th quarter) and ended that drive being pushed back across the 50. Incredible. 21-0 in no way quantifies what a complete demolishing this was. So much for “the game of the century.” The so called honey badger was treated like common roadkill. Final stats: Alabama: O penalties; 0 turnovers; allowed total 5 first downs; allowed LSU 92 total yards offense (avg. 2.1 yard pp). ass whipping.
Definitely wasn’t mathieu fault. He was still the best player on the field. Skill wise.
@@wbgiarrusso Then the best player got spanked too.
@@MaximusWolfe the defense did great but the offense was atrocious. Most of the field goals would’ve been punts if the offense got a first doen
@@wbgiarrusso That’s simply not true. Alabama moved the ball early and often they just bogged down in the red zone. MCcarron’s stats are very solid and the run game was also very effective. Considering they had no marquee wide receiver that season and probably the least talented of their many great backfields over the last 13 years, I think they did quite well offensively. Face it, it was just a complete and total ass whipping from beginning to end. Deal with it like a man instead of trying to deconstruct it like a hysterical woman.
@@MaximusWolfe no it was definitely a beat down but even though you say how good the bama team was so was the lsu defense. The reason they didn’t do good in the red zone is cos they’re going against a good defense. Still the most fucking horrible game I’ve attended
2:52:10 "Touch that thing, 4." Kills me every time.
Hightower had more finanaz but upshaw was outrageous beast mode!
Skip to 31:26 for kickoff
dominant defensive performance
Veyronp87 by both teams but LSU got outcoached
Christian Keller why do you keep saying that. Alabama give up less then 100 yards. LSU give up 300+ and 21 points. Alabama defense was amazing. LSU had a good defense performance not great.
@@christiankeller3656 392 yard allowed is a great defensive performance? Alabama moved the ball all game, whereas Alabama didn’t allow LSU past the 50 until late in the 4th quarter (and on that drive pushed them back across the 50 in forcing a turnover). This was absolute domination by a team that obviously underperformed earlier that season against LSU.
Nick Saban’s best team in my opinion.
Best defense but team no
Best defense but didn’t have the offensive firepower of several successive teams.
@@MaximusWolfe yeah I made this comment 2 years ago. I think the 2020 team passed them.
@@joeschmo7834 Yes, that offense was mind boggling. Devonta Smith is arguably the greatest wide receiver in college history. A truly unstoppable trump card.
Alabama deserved this chip. Its been a rough 2011 for tuscaloosa. A devastating tornado ripped through the campus and stuff. And they won though.
Alabama crimson tide and lsu tigers they are both my college football teams and that is straight facts 💯
Watching this gem before this weekends match up against LSU. ROLL TIDE ROLL!
Les miles called that timeout and stopped LSU from getting a first down. If he doesn’t call the timeout the quarterback easily gets the first down keeps the drive alive. He pumped his hand yes I stopped them from getting a first down. But thanks Les Miles I’m a Alabama fan but that was a stupid timeout.
LSU did not get screwed by having to play Alabama again because in there first match up they didn't prove they were the better team. Sure they won but it was in triple overtime after 4 missed alabama field goals. The truth is I'd your scared about playing a team again that you were lucky to beat the previous time than you weren't the better team. I see a lot of people argue for Oklahoma St that year but they lost to an unranked Iowa St team that went 6-7. They were lucky to only have dropped 2 spots after losing that game and honestly nobody would've been arguing for them if they didn't happen to be ranked 3rd.
Wow that's stupid. "Hey LSU you barely beat Alabama the first time, so we're going to punish you by making you play an extra game against Georgia just to play an idle Alabama again." Would've been in LSU's benefit to have lost the first game clearly, smdh
@@drayiii980 Well not necessarily. If they got blown out 21-0 then they would have kissed their championship hopes goodbye. But if they lose to the best team in the country by 3 in overtime after 3 missed field goals then maybe it would have. The truth is they didn't prove they were the better team and that ultimately came back to haunt them. They relied on 3 missed field goals to win in overtime by 3. And the only reason they were "punished" is because Oklahoma St lost to a 6 win team so blame it on that if anything. But any team who truly thinks they are in the best in the nation wouldn't bitch and moan about having to play a decent Georgia team and then have to play a team they already beat unless they were extremely worried about said team. And rightfully so considering they got their shit kicked in for 4 straight quarters. Any honest person saw who was really better after the national title.
@@CRMdrifter Okay for starters in isn’t always “the two best teams make the Natty, you have to earn your way. Otherwise that 2008 USC team would’ve made the playoffs and last years Bama team would’ve been in over TCU. Yes, OKST’s loss was worse but CFB effectively told Bama it was in their best interest to lose their game against LSU and LSU screwed themselves- by winning on the road btw. This was a fucked narrative. Also the idea that “oh if LSU was the best team then playing Georgia shouldn’t have mattered.” Jesus do you actually think that’s a good response? First of all, convenient that Bama wasn’t the one having to play them. Second, what if LSU won but a star player(s) sustained injuries while Bama’s players are just getting fresh? So ridiculous
@@CRMdrifter You’re analyzing it in hindsight that Bama won in the Natty so truly they proved they were the best. Again, so much for LSU beating them in Tuscaloosa. I thought every game mattered
@@drayiii980 Great job cherry picking. What i said was that winning by 3 points in overtime after 3 missed field goals isn't proving to be the better team and that the national championship further proved that. Also the game did matter but do you know what negated it? Oklahoma St losing to a 6 win team allowing Alabama to get in which is what I said before. Your comment essentially just ignores 3/4ths of what I said.
Saban has aged 40 years in 12 years.. A real magician this Nick Saban! Kirby could never do that
No need to tear down one to build up the other. Both have been amazing defensive coaches and are champions.
I remember from the coin toss where Alabama had their helmets on and LSU didn't who was gonna win this game.
English
Alabama didn't win SEC West or SEC in 2011 but won at two of most hostile environments in college football..Alabama won at Penn State and at Florida..Alabama's strength of schedule helped Alabama get into the BCS Championship game..🤔🏈🏟
If I wasn't an Alabama fan and knew how good our defense was in 2011 I'd be asking how much money did Jefferson and Miles make throwing the game...😂😂😂
So glad Mr Lee Corso was wrong that day this was the start of our 8 streak against LSU and they still haven’t won at home in Tiger Stadium since 2010. Past 3 10-0 29-0 and 55-17 so Alabama has outscored LSU in Tiger Stadium 94-17 the past 3 times it’s been in Baton Rouge with two straight shutouts!!!! The way LSU been playing it’s probably gonna be the start of another long beautiful streak if we can win 2021 and every year after the contract we will have won 9 straight (breaking the last one of 8 and and 2 away from tying the overall 11 when Bryant was there). We have already beaten Vanderbilt 22 (last three with Saban) Arkansas and Tennessee 14 (hope 15 this season), Mississippi State 13 (hopefully 14 this season), 10 Ole Miss (7 of which is with Saban and currently at 5) Florida 8 after beating them in the swamp this season, LSU 8 (sadly snapped 2019), 8 Texas A&M (hopefully 9 this season), Kentucky 7 ( last 5 with Saban), Georgia 6, Missouri 5 ( last 4 with Saban) South Carolina and Auburn both 1 (made as high as 3 with Auburn and SC we won 2-1 with 2/3 games at SC). We have had long amazing streaks and and currently won at least one in all 14 teams and all but 2 have current multiple win winning streak. That’s amazing most teams can’t do that. Two of those teams Kentucky hasn’t beaten us since 1997 when I was 2 and Vanderbilt was 1984 (1969 in their own home) before I was even born. The Vanderbilt streak would probably have been longer than the Florida Kentucky cause even 3-0 just beating ranked Kansas State “Alabama you next” and we beat them on the road 59- we played annually last played every year but 4 since 1926 and every year since since 1953 (1952 was one of those 4) and we last played annually in 2002 when SEC whiner from 2 permanent crossovers down to 1. 1953-2002 Alabama was 43-4 and 3 ties. 13 of their 18 wins came from 1903 to 1951. 62-8 despite losing first 5 despite Alabama not leading the series until 1938. I hope we can do 22 with an current annual like Arkansas/Tennessee currently 14 or Mississippi State currently 13.
It's one of my times favorites, Courtney Upshaw
Old Les Miles knew his goose was cooked at start of 3rd Qtr. & all the hope went out window when team could not gain more than a few 1st. downs in 1st 3 qtrs. Most 1 sided SEC game in history & the LSU team CHOKED so bad & everyone said Bama did not deserve being in game yet at end most knew LSU did not deserve being Ranked # 1 .
that pick thrown by Jordan Jefferson was hilariously bad
I was watching it at Clairmont Apartment both WWE Raw and the National Title Game
They always be putting national championship on Mondays smh. I'll always believe it should be on Saturday
That's reminds me of FSU UF rematch in the 1997 Sugar Bowl.
LSU never even passed the 50 yard line. Best defense ever 😂
There still living in the past no tide 😢😢😢😢🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
As an Oklahoma State fan, this game hurts so bad because we totally would have beaten the LSU team that showed up to the National Championship.
I believe so as well. Can't go up to Ames, Iowa on a Friday night and get beat though. That was uncalled for and neither Bama, nor LSU had an "uncalled for" moment during that season. (The "sh*t through a tin horn" game is debatable.) If Bama had beaten LSU 9-6 instead of the other way around, LSU would have been chosen over OSU for the title game, the same way that Bama was. I do believe them Cowboys would've given LSU its toughest test by far, that season. What Weeden and them were able to do down-the-field was awesome.
@@grahamfam03 It's definitely still debatable. Alabama was ahead of Oklahoma State in the human polls, but Oklahoma State was ahead of Alabama in the computer polls. Also the circumstances around that Iowa State game need to be taken into consideration. Had that game been played on any other day, the Cowboys win it, but it was a rare Friday night game the day after Oklahoma State's women's basketball coach was killed in a tragic plane crash. Had the game been played on the Thursday or the Saturday which are both normal days to play a college football game, they would have won it.
@69-ers OK State also kicked a fg that appeared to go directly above the uprights, yet was called no good based on a judgement call. They got left out for a team that had no conference championship, such a sham of a system.
Could have been 40+ - 0 !!! LSU did have a good defense also......BUT NO QB !!!!
it was more of the incompetent offensive coaching that year that did us in. Defense played great in the ship, at least enough to give us a chance. The offensive gameplan didnt change at all from the mid season game to the championship
No QB but that team was undefeated before this game
@@yengvang8737 it was a different qb Jefferson

@@theslasher4668 Not better than ‘93. They gave up a 40 point game and two 30 pieces.
@@Maal7432 But the game has changed since then rules have changed and offensive games plans and schemes have gotten a lot better so you have to give lead way to newer defenses
I just realized why that name Brad Winn however u spell it that’s the dude from destroying on his new series that fire
That season was for the 2011 tornado
That defense was definitely good enough to at least make it a game … if only we had better play calling
We! What position did you play?
As a bama fan id say u guys were absolutely loaded on defense. In fact bama was probably the only defense that might have been better then lsu during the bcs era
2:44:16 upshaw was about to say “I don’t give a fuck”😂
Mark Barron #4
It took 4 missed field goals for LSU to beat Bama in Tuscaloosa. That was not going to happen again and there were at least 2 dozen QBs in the country who were a lot better than Jefferson. Jefferson was terrible.
S.E.C. is the best strongest, rougher then all the others
And how bout Michigan's defense this year?..or those U. Miami defenses.. when I started watching football in late '60's early '70's Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Ohio State, Michigan , USC, and Alabama had great defenses...oh, Notre Dame too..
BACKDOOR BAMA !!
1:12:22 Fluker looks like a memer 😂
1:30:30, graphic technician misplaced the score LSU 9 Alabama 0
I guess lsu forgot to bring there offense
I don’t care what anyone says Kevin Norwood was lsu’s daddy
Shm, guess that playoff nonsense didn't make much of a difference after all... the sec still dominates the championship games. Since 2006, only 3 non sec teams have won it all.
Well before the playoffs started there was many teams that were snubbed from the damn championship game that would have beaten any SEC team. There was two USC teams that would’ve whooped LSU and Florida’s ass in 2007 and 2008. Texas got snubbed in 2008 even tho they beat Oklahoma who ended up going to the title game. Undefeated Utah would have also whooped ass in the championship game. And then of course Oklahoma state got snubbed

They would've gotten smoked by either of the teams in this video.
Oklahoma State shouldn’t have lost to a mediocre Iowa State team.
No one was going to beat Alabama that year and this game amply proved that. This was a slaughter and the big 12 was not physical enough to realistically compete.

Greatest defensive back field ever to not win a championship
To get robbed of a championship by playing Nick Saban twice*
I'd argue that the 2016 Alabama may be up there with them
@@jasonsaylor7555 yep except Eddie Jackson was injured for bama. If he never got injured bama would’ve won that championship too. In my opinion
21-0 > 42-25 all fucking day long,all time
against the backup qb though. unfortunate circumstance and will never know had not Colt been hurt. no takeaways from bama just sayin a win with colt healthy meant more
Wrong game pal
It doesn't matter if Joe Montana was their quarterback, Alabama defense would still eaten up Colt McCoy and the offense.
They did knock him out of the game though.Give credit to Bama.

@@danieljordan5022 no one is gonna beat Nick Saban twice in the same year. It has never been done and likely ever will be done. LSU should have played an actual conference champion. Y’all Bama fans were throwing a hissy fit all year for a rematch and the damn media polls wanted to make a quick buck off of the “game of the century II”. I’m not saying OSU and Stanford were better but at least they won their conferences with the same record as Bama. Also, even if Bama gets in and wins the natty they should’ve been co-national champions with LSU. But nope the most talented LSU team was robbed of its championship by the media and crying Bama fans. Again, not dissing Bama at all, y’all were a helluva team and easily the second best that year. Just saying Bama should have never leapfrogged OSU or Stanford to rob LSU of the natty.
