No. 3 Alabama Rally, Defeat (9) LSU For SEC Bid
Tuscaloosa, AL (AHN) – Julio Jones caught a 73-yard touchdown pass in the last quarter for a come-from-behind win to lift the No. 3 Alabama Crimson Tide 24-15 over the No.9 Louisiana State University Tigers Saturday night.
Alabama’s Leigh Tiffin blasted a 40-yard field goal with 3:04 left in the game to seal the win.
The victory means that Alabama clinches the Western Division title. The Tide will also take their second- straight trip to the SEC championship game, where they will take on the No. 1 ranked Florida Gators Dec. 5.
Alabama was trailing 15-10 going into the fourth. But the Tide tallied 14 points during the last 15 minutes of the game.
It did not help the Tigers that quarterback Jordan Jefferson and running back Charles Scott were injured and did not see much action in the second half.
Jarrett Lee took over for Jefferson, who had 114 yards with a touchdown. Lee had 44 yards and an interception. Regardless, the Crimson Tides’ defense was staggering and limited the Tigers to 95 yards rushing.
The Tide (9-0, 6-0) is still in the running for the BCS national championship.
