Even when so many things went wrong, Alabama continued to fight.
Nick Saban and this fan base is never one for moral victories, but to cut down a 20-point at halftime versus LSU and coming close to pulling out an incredible win was something.
Despite the strong second half effort, the Crimson Tide fell by a score of 46-41.
It first blemish of the season hurts – especially after the first week of College Football Playoff rankings – however, Saban knows how he is going to correct things. During his postgame press conference, he attributed the loss the lack of balance (offense) and miscommunication (defense).
