Besides a few drives by the Crimson Tide, LSU dominated the the game in regulation. Alabama beat the Tigers in total offensive yards - 315 to 259 - but LSU had the ball the most on offense: 38:16 to Alabama's 21:44. That's a huge difference in ball control.
Credit the Tide D for hanging in there and sustaining a pounding.
Credit the offense for waking up with 50 seconds to go in regulation. Sims came alive, and so did the receiving corps.
On defense, DL Jarran Reed and LB Reggie Ragland accounted for 28 total tackles:
- Reed: 2 solos, 13 assists, one of which was a tackle for loss
- Ragland: 4 solos, 9 assists, one of which was a tackle for loss
The great catch and run by Cooper for a TD and the beautiful fade pass to White for the winning touchdown in overtime are plays to remember from this game.
As much as I'm happy about the win, I'm concerned about the Tide's running game. The Tide will get tested by Mississippi State's "Psycho Defense" this coming Saturday.
