Last weekend's "game of the century" did not disappoint. LSU and Alabama may not have faced off in a consensus No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup, but the stature of the programs and the spectacle of the event was the kind of heavyweight battle college football fans want to see more often. And unlike many of the most recent iterations of this particular rivalry, both teams were equipped to take the other's best swing and counterpunch effectively. Both teams were capable of putting together explosive and efficient offensive attacks against one another. Both teams were stocked with elite talent.
