Alabama’s win over LSU flashed a developing postseason trait that could pay dividends
In boxing, a match isn't always won by the fighter throwing the most punches. Sometimes it's about absorbing your opponent's best punch, staying on your feet, and making yours count when the opening finally comes.
Kalen DeBoer and Alabama football managed to do exactly that Saturday afternoon in Death Valley, delivering a 31-13 statement win over LSU despite being outgained by 164 total yards of offense and possessing the football for nearly nine minutes less than the Tigers (31:53-23:27).
On paper, LSU had the more productive offensive afternoon, but Alabama had something more important: control of the scoreboard.
