Initial Impressions: Alabama 20, LSU 14

Down about a dozen starters, bogged down by four losses, and led by an already fired head coach, LSU—a near 30-point underdog—went into Bryant Denny Stadium to take on the second ranked, defending champion Crimson Tide and damn near beat Alabama.
There’s no such thing as a moral victory, but considering the circumstances, and how much fear LSU put into the hearts of Bama fans, there’s nothing but pride to take away from a hard fought loss.
LSU even drew first blood, scoring when Max Johnson hooked up with Brian Thomas Jr. which was set up by a beautiful fake punt.
