What happens if lsu beats bama

A lot can happen in two years. Just look to the LSU Tigers football program as an example. In the Bayou Bengals had one of the most historic runs in college football history. During that magical season for the Tigers, they were able to beat the Tide in Tuscaloosa Since hoisting the championship trophy in January of , the LSU Tigers have a modest overall record. With the on-field performance coupled with the off-the-field issues, LSU has decided to part ways with head coach Ed Orgeron following the season.

Life truly comes at you fast. This is a game Alabama fans have had circled on their schedule for quite a while now. But the question now becomes: What does Alabama do now with four games left in the season including a record appearance in a bowl game? The best the Tide can hope for is to play spoiler. They can do that in at least two ways. First of all, they can man up and beat a surging Mississippi State Bulldog team next week.

But that will be no easy task. Make Tua move 5 and see how he handles it. Force a Tua mistake 6. Also easier said than done. On the other hand, LSU is tied for the national lead with 14 interceptions. Be bold 7. The Tigers have a demonstrable edge at kicker with Cole Tracy, but this is a touchdown game. Orgeron has shown a willingness to gamble, highlighted by his 4-for-4 fourth-down conversion gambit against Georgia.

That will have to continue and perhaps even intensify Saturday night. The longer LSU can keep Alabama uncomfortable, possibly induce some frustration and stoke what will be an insane home crowd, the better its chances.

President Biden referred to the late baseball player Satchel Paige as "the great negro" before correcting himself during his Veterans Day address at Arlington National Cemetery on Thursday. This is a weird way to end a drive. When I look at a box score and end edge rusher, defensive tackle, and a linebacker are the top 3 in tackles, you know the defense is dictating the game, not playing catch up.

One other note was that cornerback Josh Jobe was supposed to sit out this game due to turf toe, and freshman Kool-Aid McKinstry stepped up and played admirably. Pete Golding has some work to do still at figuring out the star and second safety positions, but his front 7 and outside corners are playing admirably, even with a couple of true freshmen being thrust into important roles.

Special teams for the Tide was quite special again. Will Reichard missed a field goal and an extra point, both of which were very, very nearly very costly. James Burnip was okay punting the ball.

He averaged 40 yards per punt, and three of them were inside the His worst punt of the night, though, was a yarder to give LSU the ball on the final drive, and that could have been disastrous. It was great to see the defense, particularly the front seven, playing with a whole lot of heart and generally causing a whole bunch of havoc against an undermanned LSU offense.

They gave up a couple of drives with some dumb penalty assistance, and the Star blew a couple of coverages, but aside from that, they dominated. And even more, the held firm with the game on the line. The offense, though? The offensive line was in shambles, Bryce Young looked like a freshman every time LSU blitzed, the wide receivers were plagued by drops, and they just were generally unorganized before snaps.

The best run of the day was a 7-yard scamper by Roydell Williams And when you consider LSU was playing with almost entirely a second string defense
