BATON ROUGE, La. -- No. 14 LSU outgained No. 5 Alabama by 172 yards but was undone by poor red zone and fourth-down offense, losing at home 31-13 and dropping to 6-3 on the season.
Tigers coach Lane Kiffin said the outcome was "really disappointing."
LSU was 0-for-4 on fourth downs -- the most attempts without a conversion in Kiffin's career. His offense made four red zone trips and came away with only one touchdown and one field goal.
"I was looking at a sheet and it said Sam [Leavitt] had 380 yards passing and Jackson Harris had 11 [receptions] for 166 [yards] and Trey'Dez [Green] had 10 [receptions] for 85 [yards].
