It is safe to say no college football team looked forward to a single game this season more than Alabama for its chance at revenge on LSU.
Beyond the fact that Alabama’s program has been stewing for more than a year over what happened last season in Tuscaloosa, when the Tigers cemented their status as the national championship favorite, there was proverbial blood in the water coming into Saturday’s rematch.
At no point this season has LSU looked like a good football team, which is a rather tame thing to say given the Tigers’ losses to every decent opponent they’ve played.
