In the college football game of the season so far, the #2 LSU Tigers (9-0) held on to a 33-13 halftime lead to defeat #3 Alabama Crimson Tide 46-41 in an SEC West Division clash.
LSU gained momentum early in the first quarter after Crimson Tide quarterback Tua Tagovailoa fumbled the ball at the LSU five yard line. LSU recovered the fumble and went 95 yards rather easily to take a 7-0 lead. LSU then went up 10-0, but Jaylen Waddle returned a punt 77 yards to put Alabama back in the game towards the end of the first quarter only down 10-7.
In the second quarter, LSU quarterback Joe Burrow went to work dissecting Alabama’s defense. At halftime, the Tigers were up 33-13. However, Crimson Tide RB Najee Harris took over by scoring two touchdowns in a row to make the game 33-27 with about 14 minutes to play in the game.
For the rest of the game, LSU and Alabama scored two touchdowns apiece as LSU held on to win a thriller. This win should move LSU up to #1 next week since the Tigers have beaten four teams ranked in the Top 10 this season. Alabama has to hope that a bunch of teams lose in the next month in order to qualify for the College Football Playoff.
LSU showed they were solid in this game. I’m hoping they go all the way this year! I also think Joe Burrow will win the Heisman!
They have a real good chance to go all the way. They just have to beat Georgia again like they did last season when they play for the SEC Championship in December to make it to the playoffs.
it was a great game (watched it live)! I think OSU (who obliterated Maryland) will stay one.
OSU
LSU
Clemson
Oregon
for my new top 4
I like your top 4 – I have it LSU, OSU, Clemson, Alabama. I’m putting Ohio State second because the NCAA is attempting to rig the system again by banning Chase Young. I can’t rate Oregon after they blew that first game against Auburn.
I think Chase Young is going to get a 2 game suspension, that makes him Fresh for Michigan and the title games. So, while that kills his Heisman hopes, it makes OSU better in the long run.
A very good game. Thanks to YouTube, I got the chance to watch it ♡
