Tide Rolls Over LSU Defense, Wins 56-12
Alabama-LSU has been a rivalry that has always favored the team on the road but this year was an exception. LSU's rushing attack was stagnant if anything, and the defense couldn't slow down the Tide at all on the ground or even in the air.
Except for a couple of INT's, McElroy had a great day with the passing attack completing 68% of his passes and getting 3 TD's. The rushing attack dominated LSU. Ingram and Upchurch combined for 260 yards and 4 TD. Receiver Maze even got in on the fun by taking a direct snap out of the Wildcat 19 yards for his first rushing TD of the year.
The Tide's #1 defense against the run had another great day. The entire defense combined for 15 tackles behind the line of scrimmage including 4 sacks. The secondary was pretty stagnant against the pass allowing 210 yards through the air but they did get a turnover when Woodall picked off LSU's Jefferson on a deep pass.
Next week Alabama goes to Starkeville to face Miss State. Many fear that the Tide may be looking ahead at USC. We can only hope they're not and just taking these games one at a time.
