Also, a thrid string QB provided much more of a threat in the passing game than the strings of QBs that Miles destroyed over the years. To add even more to this, Bama is basically built to beat power running offenses, but when they play spread teams, like OSU, they can sometimes have trouble playing in space. Fournette and Guice made the LSU line look a lot better than they actually were the past two years, but Bama was able to assert their dominance and just pushed the LSU fronts around. A lot of variables go into football.
I don't think a lot of people really understand how much Les Miles and Cam Cameron held back the LSU program. Bama was able to dominate up front, on both sides, because Miles wasn't putting out linemen that could push back. To add to this, Miles wanted coaches that put an emphases on recruiting instead of coaching, so players, especially on the O-Line and at QB, haven't been developed worth a damn.
Maybe so, but Cook played behind a line worse than LSU's, and he was a gamebreaker. If I go RB at 9, it's Dalvin Cook. A multi-faceted homerun hitter.
