Alabama got the win, but it was another less-than-stellar effort by the Tide's offense. Ty Simpson was critical of it in the postgame.
You never apologize for a win, and Alabama certainly won't after a 20-9 victory over LSU on Saturday night. But every player on the team, at least on offense, knows that the way the Crimson Tide performed on that side of the ball wasn't good enough against the Tigers.
An elite performance by the Tide's defense kept this game from some incredibly tense moments down the stretch.
