Alabama @ LSU—27-21 (overtime) Alabama
Alabama- The Crimson Tide again did not play stellar but did enough to win in Baton Rouge. The win clinched the SEC Western Title as the Tide will appear in the SEC Championship game for the first time since 1999 when Alabama dismantled the Florida Gators 34-7. The key to the west-clinching win was the Alabama defense. The top SEC defense forced four interceptions, which massively helped to defeat a hungry Tiger team. Senior John Parker Wilson played well at quartback, as he did nothing spectacular but failed to make costly mistakes enroute to the victory. After a few lack luster weeks, running back Glenn Coffee also reemerged as an explosive back. Coffee rushed for 127 yards and a score. Alabama will now take their unbeaten mark to face a hungry Mississippi State team next week.
LSU- Les Miles had his Tigers thinking upset Saturday and it almost happened. The Tigers battled back from a late 14-21 deficit to tie the game and create overtime. But Overtime saw the same Tigers as usual, NO OFFENSE… Quarterback Jarrett Lee threw the ball to the defense 4 times and helped put the defense in very unfavorable postions. With the struggles in the passing game, it was the running game that took shape against the Tide. Les Miles employed a little bit of the Wildcat offense and tan for a total of 201 yards. The loss now gives the Tigers 4 in conference. They must play Troy before a showdown with the creator of the Wildcat offense, Houston Nutt and the Ole Miss Rebels for 2nd place in the division.
