LSU’s hopes of returning to Atlanta as SEC West champions were dashed in Tuscaloosa on Saturday night.
The Tigers looked like they were going to go shot-for-shot with the Crimson Tide for a while, taking a 21-21 tie to the locker room and even scoring out of the break to take a brief seven-point lead in the second half.

Here’s how the internet reacted to the gutting loss.
