Follow the 2011 LSU Tigers through their perfect regular season, their SEC Championship, and onto their quest for the BCS Title against Alabama. Relive the Tigers' 12 regular season wins, including 8 victories over Top-25 Ranked Teams, and 3 victories over Top-3 Ranked Teams. Not only did LSU overcome a remarkably difficult schedule to reach the BCS Championship Game, but they also had to deal with off-the-field conflicts: a bar fight that removed their star quarterback, Jordan Jefferson, from the first 4 games of the season and a synthetic marijuana scandal that removed 3 of their key players from an important game against Auburn (Tyrann Mathieu, Spencer Ware, and Tharold Simon). Discover how backup quarterback Jarrett Lee unexpectedly led the Tigers to become the #1 team in the country. Take a look at the matchup between Alabama and LSU for the national championship in which the teams' stats are compared in several charts revealing which team is the best. There is a specific focus on the Crimson Tide's and the Tigers' stats when they played against the same opponents, which is the most fair and revealing comparison of the 2 teams. This book also takes a look at Nick Saban, a former LSU and current Alabama head coach, examining what his time with LSU has meant and what effect his coaching one of LSU's greatest rivals may have on the team. Finally, we take a look at The Mad Hatter himself, Les Miles, honoring his greatest achievements with the Tigers. The 2011 LSU Tigers have been compared to the greatest collegiate teams of all time due to their arduous schedule and impressive, high-scoring defeats of top-ranked teams. Their journey to the championship is a story of mental perseverance and athletic dominance.
