Minkah Fitzpatrick shines in first game at new position for Alabama

There were two big plays made by Alabama early in the fourth quarter Saturday, two plays that helped the Tide seize control of a game that had been a scoreless tie for the previous 46-plus minutes.

One was Jalen Hurts' touchdown run that produced the game's first points.

The other came 36 seconds later, a Minkah Fitzpatrick interception that gave the ball right back to Alabama's offense.

In his first game at safety, Fitzpatrick helped the Tide limit LSU to 125 yards of total offense and had that big fourth quarter interception in helping Alabama come away with a 10-0 win over LSU that puts the Tide one step closer to securing a third straight berth in the College Football Playoff.
