Follow
Paul Finebaum has offered fresh commentary on the contrasting situations facing Kalen DeBoer and Lane Kiffin following Saturday's matchup. The No.
5 Alabama Crimson Tide traveled to Baton Rouge and defeated the No. 14 LSU Tigers 31-13, a result that extended Kiffin's head coaching record against Alabama to 0-6.
Despite LSU accumulating 457 total yards compared to Alabama's 285, the Tigers failed to convert on all four of their fourth-down attempts, while the Crimson Tide defense restricted them to a single touchdown across four red zone trips. The victory was crucial for Alabama, as they entered the contest as six-point underdogs and needed the win to preserve their college football playoff aspirations.
DeBoer and Kiffin shared a postgame handshake after the final whistle, capping a performance in which Alabama held a lead for the majority of the second half.
