LSU football releases awesome Alabama hype video
It’s insane. It’s the best. The Gators clinched the East on Saturday with a victory over Vanderbilt.
No. 13 Memphis was crushed by Navy 45-20, and so any conversation of the Tigers somehow sneaking into the Playoff is finished. I mean who wouldn’t be in that environment and atmosphere? Here are the three biggest takeaways from Week 10. One of the best fronts in the country takes on the nation’s leading rusher and Heisman Trophy candidate when Alabama and LSU meet Saturday, November 7, 2015. And a hook-and-ladder on fourth-and-25 in overtime aided Arkansas’ upset over Ole Miss. Since Nick Saban’s first season coaching the Crimson Tide in 2007, the victor of the game has won the SEC West six times in eight years and won the SEC championship game five times.
A second loss, and figure Alabama is out of the title chase.
Then the game started and the Tide completely dominated the Tigers 30-16. FACE TO FACE! I don’t politic, I don’t go behind people’s backs no, you always know where to find the Macho Man. But that’s now how you operate is it, you gotta go talk to Jack Tunney and Greg Sankey to get what you want, well that’s fine, the Macho Man will be waiting on Saturday. The fifth-year center has been in a lot of winning locker rooms after big Alabama victories. He’s a heck of a player. He tried to make a play at the end. He scored, but before that, guys were getting up to him.
I blame the MSU coaches for play calling down the stretch. But I also think that it would be a miracle it they held Fournette to fewer than 125 yards. He carried the offense on his back, running 38 times for 210 yards and three touchdowns.
Alabama outgained LSU 434-182 in the game. LSU control their own destiny in the SEC and the national playoff picture as the only undefeated team left in college football’s most elite conference.
It’s not that Harris’ night lacked good throws – the early prayer out of his end zone and the touchdown – it just didn’t boast enough of them.
↑ UNC: Speaking of teams ignored by the CFP rankings, the Tar Heels made their case with an emphatic 66-31 win over Duke. I said it would eventually cost the Tigers a game, and it got the ball rolling in this one for a loss.
This was a nightmare for TCU. He hasn’t thrown an interception all year. He only had five in 297 attempts coming into this game. LSU running back Leonard Fournette entered Saturday’s game averaging 193 yards per contest.
Equally troubling for the Gators, after their lone touchdown – Taylor’s 11th scoring run of the season – walk-on Neal MacInnes shanked the extra point.
Will Oklahoma State jump TCU in the rankings this week?
He’s certainly more in the mix. With so much pressure riding on both teams, there will be no shortage of emotions.
The pizza party is still a go.
At this point, LSU had exactly one first down and 39 yards of offense, including just 2 net yards rushing on seven carries, while Alabama had 10 first downs and 178 yards.
“Our defense was on the field the whole second half, virtually”, he said.
“When you’re on a championship run – let’s call it what it is; we’re on a championship run – sometimes there are games like this”, McElwain said. “The best is yet to come”.
