Alabama football defeated the LSU Tigers Saturday and remained in control of their own Colllege Football Playoffs’ destiny.
Here are some initial takeaways from the win:
– Alabama is a different team when it’s offense and defense both show up. The Crimson Tide have sort of lack intensity on one side or the other over the last few weeks. The win against LSU might have been Alabama’s most complete of the season.
– The Crimson Tide’s path to a spot in the College Football Playoffs should be crystal clear. They will more than likely have a guaranteed spot in the 12-team field without an appearance in the SEC Championship game if they win out.
