Excerpt: The Complete History of Alabama Crimson Tide Football

Page 74

The first time Alabama faced LSU during the 2011 season, it was in the “Game of the Century” that the Tide lost in overtime 9–6. The second time these two teams met that season, it was in the BCS Championship Game, and this time the Tide shut out the Tigers in the Superdome 21–0. That season, Alabama’s offense was formidable, but it was the defense that led the nation in every major statistical category, featuring players such as Dont’a Hightower, Mark Barron, and Dre Kirkpatrick.
