It’s not 2011 anymore.
The LSU Tigers faced the ultimate test on Saturday afternoon in Bryant-Denny Stadium, rising to the occasion and beating the Crimson Tide, 46-41.
When Tua Tagovailoa played the National Championship game against Clemson fresh off a tightrope procedure, it didn’t bode well him. Saturday wasn’t the 44-16 beatdown the signal-caller and his team endured against Clemson, but it was certainly one of his rougher games.
LSU won the toss and chose to defer, giving Tagovailoa and company the first go on offense. The Tide started hot on offense, as Tagovailoa found Ruggs for a 20-yard reception, followed by a 31-yard rush by Najee Harris.
