Alabama Stifles LSU 20-9 to Stay Unbeaten in SEC

A stifling defense kept LSU out of the end zone, preserving Alabama’s perfect SEC mark heading into Oklahoma.

Overview

  • Alabama held LSU without a touchdown, limiting the Tigers to 232 yards and 13 first downs with four red‑zone trips producing only nine points.
  • Ty Simpson finished 21-of-35 for 277 yards and a touchdown, hitting four first-half passes of 30-plus yards including a 53-yarder to Lotzeir Brooks before finding Ryan Williams for a late-half score.
  • The Crimson Tide rushing attack mustered just 56 yards, a lingering issue that Kalen DeBoer acknowledged needs improvement.
  • Conor Talty converted 45- and 44-yard field goals but missed a 26-yard attempt, while Alabama’s punting and coverage secured field position.
  • In Frank Wilson’s debut as LSU interim coach, Garrett Nussmeier was replaced by Michael Van Buren in the third quarter as the Tigers dropped their third straight SEC game; Alabama extended its home win streak to 17 and moved to 6-0 in league play.
