2021 Alabama vs LSU

Alabama Football Podcast breaks down the Tide’s closer than expected contest with the LSU Tigers in Tuscaloosa.

Offense Lays an Egg

Sure, give the LSU defense some credit, but its hard to ignore the lack of production by the Tide’s offense. Limited scoring, close game, absent rushing attack, and poor blocking. Take your pick as all were on display.

Injuries Point the Way?

Injuries on both sides of the ball pressed youngsters into action and each performed well. Perhaps well enough to earn more reps in the rotation.

Defense Saves the Day

Late in the fourth quarter LSU was positioned to score the go-ahead touchdown, potentially stealing the victory. However, the Tide defense rose to the occasion keeping LSU at bay. Hard to remember the last time the defense flat out won a game for Alabama, but it certainly happened Saturday.

Special Teams Lacking

Overall, the Tide’s special team units would like to have a mulligan. A pair of missed kicks, allowing a fake punt, and struggling to punt for distance were critical miscues that could have cost Alabama the game.
