Sleeping Beauty: LSU Defeats “Mentally Lazy” Tide

When the going got tough in Tiger Stadium on Saturday afternoon the Alabama Crimson Tide defense left town, while the LSU offense...threw a party!

Thanks to a strong second-half (on both sides of the ball) the LSU Tigers defeated the Alabama Crimson Tide by a score of 24-21.

Led by coach Les Miles, the Tigers had just enough trickery and just enough strategy to make all the right plays during the critical moments of the game.

The Alabama defense, after having a solid first-half, looked lazy and “mentally clumsy” on several occasions in the second-half.

With LSU holding a 24-21 lead and a little over two minutes remaining in the game, the Tigers were able to convert a critical third-and-13 play to seal the victory.

“When you do things like that, I guess you don’t deserve to win,” said Alabama coach Nick Saban.

The loss in Baton Rouge effectively put an end to the national championship hopes of the Crimson Tide and all but ended any hopes of returning to Atlanta for the SEC title game.
