LSU and Alabama entered the contest ranked for the eighth consecutive year with the Crimson Tide winning the last three contests. LSU would never be that close again. Only six of those 55 plays went for a loss, three of which came on sacks. Instead, the Crimson Tide allowed him about the same room as a photo booth in the backfield to operate and made the miraculous happen: they shut Leonard Fournette down for the majority of the game. He had a great game today. A lot of talent is going to be on the field.

Henry ran for three touchdowns and finished with 206 yards on 38 carries. LSU did win that one. The fourth-ranked Tigers visit No. 7 Alabama Saturday night in a Southeastern Conference showdown that has mostly lived up to its billing in recent years.

LSU has lost four straight in the series, including the 2011 BCS Championship Game after they won 9-6 in overtime during the regular season. The guy’s having a great year. Sports, Alabama held Leonard Fournette to just 31 yards on 19 carries.
Prediction Alabama’s defense is better, and that’s it. That’s the difference.
BUGA Nation meets the BAMA Nation. The seven points is going to be too many.
And for his state.
“Yeah. ‘Y’all have to beat ’em.’ Like they’re the coaches”, Fournette said with a laugh. “But that comes with the territory”.
“There is no way you can be a leader without being a really quality participant”, Miles said.
Henry’s teammates did not give him a chance to dwell on his mistake and surrounded him on the sideline.
“We just couldn’t execute”. Henry and the Tide were able to chew clock and churn yards nearly at will.
Hes forming into a leader, Fournette said.
So at all times you gotta look at the right stuff all day. The passing game was a nice auxiliary piece in the offense, not the ingredient that won the games. LSU and Alabama both sit in the top 4 in the first College Football Playoff Ranking of the season, at 2 and 4 respectively.
“It’s where the best are”, Miles said. Harris uncorked a few attractive deep balls, but they simply didn’t come frequently enough to pry open the headlock Alabama had on the LSU ground game… and thus the LSU offense as a whole.
Alabama said via its Twitter account it was “appalled that anyone would display a banner with such an inappropriate and offensive statement” and the school later said the banner had been removed.
You don’t have to like Saban. You have to focus on the next play so you can be more consistent over the long haul. “That will ultimately determine the outcome of the game”.
In other words, 15 rounds, and maybe another one or two. He threw two costly interceptions against Ole Miss, leading to the Tide’s only loss of the season. Oh, because he’s beaten you four times in a row? Ok.

The team that ran the ball with power and speed wore Crimson. We’ll have to see. Besides that it was an extremely quiet night for Fournette.
