Overview

  • Alabama held LSU to 232 yards and no touchdowns, limiting four red-zone trips to nine points in interim coach Frank Wilson’s debut.
  • Ty Simpson went 21-of-35 for 277 yards and a touchdown, highlighted by a 53-yard strike to Lotzeir Brooks and a 13-yard score to Ryan Williams with 22 seconds left in the half.
  • The Crimson Tide’s rushing attack sputtered again with 56 yards on roughly 2.2 yards per carry, underscoring a season-long concern.
  • Nikhai Hill-Green’s first-quarter forced-and-recovered fumble set up an early field goal, and Yhonzae Pierre added a sack plus a late strip-sack to seal it.
  • Alabama improved to 8-1 (6-0 SEC) with its eighth straight win and a 17-game home streak, and now hosts No. 11 Oklahoma with control of its SEC title path.
