Proving once again that a stifling defense combined with a punishing running game is the new Southern sexy, Alabama removed any doubt that they are the real deal in dispatching No. 9 LSU 24-15 in Tuscaloosa.The best defense in the nation, regardless of where any stat places them , held LSU to just 253 yards of offense in the win. To further drive home the point, the Tide defense held the Bayou Bengals to just 3.3 yards per rush and 5.9 yards per pass attempt in suffocating any hope the visitors had in pulling the upset and throwing their name in the title game ring.
Additionally, the 'Bama offense awoke at the most opportune time, putting up 452 yards while eating up nearly 33 minutes of the clock.
Running back Mark Ingram continued to state his Heisman case very loudly, rushing for 144 yards on 22 carries. He was at the top of most Heisman lists entering the game, and did nothing but solidify his top spot among the contenders.
With the win, Alabama remains unbeaten at 9-0 and on track for an undefeated SEC title game showdown for the ages with Florida.
