Recap

Alabama's defense dominated LSU from the opening whistle, intercepting Danny Etling twice while forcing the Tigers into a season-low offensive performance. LSU managed just 125 total yards and couldn't establish any rhythm, with their opening drive stalling when Colby Delahoussaye's field goal attempt was blocked by Ronnie Harrison. Alabama's offense controlled the clock and field position throughout, with Jalen Hurts orchestrating efficient drives punctuated by a 52-yard completion to ArDarius Stewart in the third quarter. The Crimson Tide broke through in the fourth quarter when Hurts punched in a 21-yard rushing touchdown, then sealed the victory with Adam Griffith's field goal with 2:41 remaining. Alabama's defense and time of possession advantage proved decisive in this defensive struggle, allowing the defending belt holder to keep its title despite an unimpressive offensive showing.
