At halftime, the electricity in Bryant Denny was deflated. The Alabama Crimson Tide’s offensive line play was dismal at best letting Tua Tagovailoa take far too many shots and scramble more than he needed to. Defensive line play was getting little to no pressure on Joe Burrow. Uncharacteristic mistakes were happening left and right.
The LSU Tigers came out ready to make a statement, and that they did.
Yet Sarkisian’s halftime adjustments were huge. The offense that went three-and-out consistently in the first half returned to their usual selves scoring quickly and efficiently in the second half.
