Alabama knocked off LSU on Saturday in a much closer game than most expected. Afterward, Ed Orgeron didn't come away thinking that Nick Saban's club is the powerhouse that it usually is.
The Tigers lost 20–14, which was an improvement from the 55–17 loss in 2020. That last meeting served as a revenge game after the Tigers knocked off the Tide and rolled through the rest of the SEC en route to a national championship in 2019.
“I felt we were a better team than them,” Orgeron, who will not be back with the team in 2022, said.
