Saturday night, in Tiger Stadium, Alabama football threw out the script about the 2018 Crimson Tide. The old script was about college football’s most dynamic offense, accompanied by a below-average Crimson Tide defense. Evidently, the members of the 2018 Alabama football defense had grown weary of all the attention being garnered by their teammates on offense. What better place than Baton Rouge to write a new story? And that is just what the Crimson Tide defense did.
How good was the Tide’s defense against LSU? Staggeringly good! The LSU Bengal Tigers had 11 offensive possessions. The first nine ended in punts.
