It was a long night for [autotag]Matt House[/autotag] and his LSU defense on Saturday.
Alabama had a chance to score on all but one of their drives. That would be the opening drive of the game for the Tide when they were forced to punt. Every other drive from the Tide either had a chance to end in points or it resulted in the end of the half or the end of the game.
Jalen Milroe was unstoppable as he broke a record for the most rushing touchdowns by an Alabama quarterback in a single game with four rushing touchdowns. One of the main issues for the LSU defense was tackling.
[autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] addressed this after the game during his press conference.
“I thought at halftime, I put three things up on the board,” he said. “I thought if our eye discipline was better, I thought if our leverage on the football was better, and we tackled better, in the second half, we can win the game. And we obviously were tied at the half. And none of those three things showed up to be better than good. They needed to be elite, and they weren’t.”
The lack of eye discipline, leverage, and tackling proved to be a recipe for disaster for the Tigers on Saturday night.
