Alabama running back Mark Ingram helps Bama run past LSU for the first time in Tuscaloosa since 1999
Saban Bowl III lived up to the hype and LSU made their old coach sweat a bit more than he would have liked too Saturday afternoon. The #9 LSU Tigers led most of the game and had some opportunities to continue their winning streak at Tuscaloosa, but couldn’t pull it out.
Since I give myself some time to write these recaps, I get a chance to read other articles about LSU’s games to see how my thoughts stacked up. A common key play among writers was the incomplete pass, that appeared to be a Patrick Peterson interception to everyone south of the Mason-Dixon line, that Greg McElroy threw with about 7 minutes left in the game. As a result, Alabama took more time off the clock and kicked a field goal, giving the Tide a nine point lead with 3:04 left. Now people can whine till the cows come home about the call and the SEC officiating this season and they can, but think about this.
IF McElroy’s pass was ruled an interception, here is what would have been the situation.
1. LSU ball on their 31 with 6:26, trailing 21-15
2. Jordan Jefferson was out of the game, so Jarrett Lee would have to lead the charge
3. Charles Scott was also knocked out of the game
LSU Blows Past Tulane, 42-0

Charles Scott struggles to get free from Tulane defensive lineman Shane Delery
LSU owned this game from the opening kickoff and flexed their muscle over a much inferior Tulane team. LSU-Tulane used to be a great rivalry, but now it is completely one-sided with LSU taking the last 18 games.
This was a stat padding game all around…
-LSU’s defense shut out Tulane for the first time since 1969
-Brandon LaFell’s 2 TDs move him into 2nd place behind Dwayne Bowe for most receiving TD in LSU history. LaFell needs four more TDs to tie Bowe.
-Charles Scott’s 112 rushing yards was the first 100+yd rusher this season for LSU. That shows you how much the LSU running game has struggled this year.
-Russell Sheppard had his 2nd career TD with the first score of the game
-LSU blocked a punt in the 1st Quarter for the first time since 2006
-Four LSU receivers had over 10.0 YPC. That includes LaFell, Terrence Tolliver, Reuben Randle and John Williams
Tulane’s offense had only two scoring chances, both were in the 2nd quarter, and inside the LSU 20-yard line. One drive resulted in a missed field goal and the other was a Patrick Peterson interception.
Jordan Jefferson played ok in the game, but nothing spectacular. Russell Sheppard looked good running the football and Stevan Ridley got a TD in garbage time. The LSU offense gained 455 yards, including outrushing Tulane 267-22.
LSU has bounced back from the Florida loss with two blowouts, outscoring Auburn and Tulane 73-10.
LSU’s next opponent is Alabama, which is easily the biggest game of the year for both teams. The last two winners of the “Saban Bowl” have gone on to win the SEC East, and this year’s winner will control their destiny in the division. The last time LSU played there was during LSU’s championship 2007 season which included the Chad Jones sack of John Parker Wilson to secure a LSU victory for Saban Bowl I. Saban Bowl III should make for some excitement and emotion in Tuscaloosa.
Kickoff is 2:30 CST next Saturday
#4 LSU Slips Past #14 Georgia 20-13

LSU running back Charles Scott reacts after scoring game-winning touchdown on a 33-yard run. It was his 2nd TD run of the day and 2nd on the season.
Unsportsmanlike conduct for excessive celebration changed the outcome of the Georgia-LSU game Saturday. After Bulldogs QB Brandon Cox threw a Touchdown pass to A.J. Green with 1:17 left to play, giving UGA a 13-12 lead, Green was penalized 15 yards for excessive celebration and the penalty was to be enforced on the kickoff. Georgia kicked off at their 15 yard line and Trindon Holliday returned the punt into field goal range! Two plays later, Charles Scott busted a 33 yard TD-run to give LSU the 20-13 victory. After the TD, Charles Scott was penalized 15 yards for excessive celebration, on what appeared to be more of a make-up call than anything else. Brandon Cox threw an interception on the following drive, securing the victory for LSU.
The endzone celebration was the second time in the game Green was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct, and the second one proved costly. After watching the play five or six times their seemed to be no evidence that Green did anything wrong. He was mobbed by his teammates and celebrated rather calmly on what was an outstanding reception over CB Chris Hawkins.
