Coaches
Alabama with the ball on the LSU 39
- "He has a wide open Smelley." That's just
fantastic work.
- McCarron had him, Smelley for a touchdown, and
missed.
- Still no Trent Richardson.
- Eddie Lacy still in.
- It would make my 2012 if Brent says the word Underall.
- 4th and 4. Here we go with Cade Foster from
49 yards out ... no chance they're actually going to
do this. They're going to pooch punt ...
- Fake! First down by an inch.
- A Trent Richardson sighting!
- Marquis Maze goes back to the locker room.
- Mathieu comes up with a nice broken up pass
against Norwood. LSU will be happy to have McCarron
throwing on Honey Badger all game long.
- Let's try this again. Jeremy Shelley field goal
from 42 ...
- Block. Michael Brockers tips it.
- Bama: "Uh oh ... here we go again."
- The H&R Block rebate ad loses the message as soon
the oddly gigantic-boobed old woman with the
microphone comes on.
LSU on its own 25
- Penalty. Jordan Jefferson isn't
getting anything positive going.
- LSU, go with what you do. Run the ball, run the
ball, run the ball. Wear down the Tide defensive
front for the second half.
- LSU, you're not going to win this game on Jordan
Jefferson's passing arm.
- Fine. Alabama's defense really might be special, but let's admit the sky is blue. This LSU offense is awful when it's not pounding away.
- It's not becoming more and more clear why this rematch sucks. There's nothing noble about mediocre quarterback play.
Alabama on its own 23
- I promised myself I'd enjoy the game as is and not
start whining about what it's not. That's becoming
harder and harder.
- OOOOOH. Eric Reid came up with a big pop, but LSU
gave up the first down.
- AJ McCarron is outplaying Jordan Jefferson. that's
the difference.
- The Alabama offensive line is owning the LSU
defensive front. Center William Vlachos is killing
freshman DT Anthony Johnson.
- Trent Richardson gets a step, and then he's off
for a 20-yard dash. The LSU linemen are staying
blocked way too easily.
- Alabama is pulling an LSU. It's rotating the
running backs to work behind a dominating offensive
front.
- Yippee. A field goal. Jeremy Shelley nails the
layup.
Alabama 6 ... LSU 0
- I have no problem with great defense, but just because the Ds are great doesn't mean the offenses don't suck.
LSU on its own 21
- LSU appears to be waiting for the big play that
isn't guaranteed to come.
- From the e-mails and tweets I'm getting as the
game is going on, one thing is becoming very, very
clear: the world outside of the southeast part of
the country isn't impressed.
- LSU has absolutely nothing offensively.
- Remember, LSU was a three-and-out machine in the first half against Georgia in the SEC championship.
Alabama on its own 23
- Alabama is just going to run out the
clock in the final minutes. It'll take 6-0 into the
locker room.
- Or maybe not. Alabama is hurrying up and going for
one more score in the final score.
- Bama, DON'T GET CUTE. Don't let LSU come up with a
gamechanger in the final :37.
- Uhhhhh, Tyrann Mathieu, you might want to wrap up.
- And here we go again ... Jeremy Shelley from 42
yards ... good.
- 9-0 ... Take that into the locker room and run with it. AJ McCarron is coming up with a game.
- Going into the locker room, Les Miles didn't talk
or act like a guy with any answers for his offense.
Second Quarter Score: Alabama 9 ... LSU 0
