LSU tops Alabama in OT, 32-31

And the freshman receiver that caught a late td and the winning 2pt conversion, Mason Taylor, is a St Thomas Aquinas kid.

LSU Freshman Mason Taylor was Zion Turner’s TE @ St Thomas Aquinas.

“St. Thomas quarterback Zion Turner targeted Taylor more than any other receiver in the passing game and it paid dividends.”

Just knocked Alabama out of any shot at the playoffs.

Arguably the two Games of the Year...so far...and Alabama is in both...and loses both.
To Tenn. and LSU.

It was frustrating to see LSU not take a shot with 21 seconds in regulation. Too safe, but then the ballsy call for 2 to win or go home. Great finish to retire the tide for the season.

I thought Brian Kelly to LSU was a strange fit but he’s proven that he can coach. Glad to see Alabama knocked out of the playoffs for a change.

The Bayou Bengals now look like they have a good shot to be in the SEC Championship as West Champ...Losses to only Tennessee from SEC East.... and FSU...

Couldn't have happened to a better fanbase than Alabama

Also, Bama football boards are in melt down right now. Love that for them

It's great how things can turn around. When LSU handed their opener to Florida State, it was Mason Taylor who whiffed on a block on the tying extra point that was blocked. Kid was getting killed on the internet for it. Flash forward to last night and who do they go to for the win? Taylor. Very nice story, and good to see a coach stick with a player through the growing pains.

Alabama has two quality losses because the list to teams that beat Alabama.

 

[billybud]

Does a quality loss count more than a win over a much lesser team?

Or is a "W'", no matter over who, worth more than a "L" ?

I've got a history of not liking Brian Kelly but I'm softening...

Stay strong. He killed a kid.

And the Volunteers got shut down by the real top dog - Georgia.

Thanks.

Definitely agree, I don’t think anyone comes close to Georgia in overall talent, they’re not unbeatable but any team that does beat them will need the same ref crew that we had against Ball State. Lol

I hated Alabama longer than almost anyone still alive , but their fanbase although extremely annoying is a money making machine for the school and the state.
Alabama football brings close to 1/2 billion dollars annually to the state
I’ll sign up for a fraction.

Not sure i understand the "but" here...more like the gravy on top.

Give him credit as a football coach, however he fails horribly as a human being. You don't need to like him.

 

[Palatine]

Alabama lost two and almost lost to Texas. Put a fork in 'em.

 

[phillionaire]

We’ve got a transitive win over Alabama. BC>Louisville>wake>Florida state>lsu>bama

Depends on if the committee and theMouse want Alabama in the playoffs or they think they can have enough juice with others avail@ble.

 

[ktuck911]

Alabama is still a pretty darn good football team though.

And we still subsidize them.
