Alabama Beats LSU 31-13 in Baton Rouge

Alabama beat LSU 31-13 in Baton Rouge after former coach Nick Saban warned that Lane Kiffin’s offense would test the defense’s ability to disguise its intentions. LSU gained 457 yards but managed just 77 rushing yards. Alabama forced an interception and a fumble, recorded four sacks and stopped LSU on all four fourth-down attempts. Coach Kalen DeBoer said getting off the field was decisive, and Alabama had key players return from injury for the matchup.
