Alabama football took part in special preparation to beat LSU in a sloppy, wet Tiger Stadium.
The Crimson Tide took time for wet ball drills during the week of practice ahead of LSU, especially early in the week.
“What I loved about our guys, they were asking, we had just all kinds of ways to get water on the ball,” Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer said.on Saturday at Tiger Stadium. No. 11 Alabama bolstered its College Football Playoff resume with a dominant win over No. 15 LSU .“Running backs and receivers just putting their hands back, asking to get them wet,” DeBoer said.
It made the difference. Rain started early in the game and came in waves throughout. The ball proved more slippery for LSU than Alabama. Or at least, the slipperiness of the ball cost the Tigers more than the Crimson Tide. Alabama won the takeaway battle 3-0. LSU‘s first turnover occurred when Jihaad Campbell blitzed up the middle and chased down LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. The ball slipped out of Nussmeier’s grasp, and Alabama defensive lineman Tim Smith recovered.Meanwhile, the Alabama offense didn’t turn the ball over at all. It made sure to mitigate any moments where the ball proved slippery.
“We were prepared for it,” DeBoer said. “If you look at it, no turnovers on the game. Really that’s a big difference in the game. Our ball security I thought was on point.”How Alabama football blew out LSU in crucial game for CFP raceIf you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
