Highlights
The Alabama and LSU’s Rivalry Series matchup was full of exciting games! LSU’s lone point came in what was perhaps the most exciting game of all. LSU linebacker Greg Penn III defeated Alabama star quarterback Jalen Milroe in a four-overtime thriller — 24-22. After failing to score on his 3OT attempt, Penn kept Milroe out of the end zone on back to back plays for his 3OT and 4OT attempts. In his 4OT attempt, Penn ran an end around handoff to his wide receiver who reached the endzone and earned Penn the victory.
The largest margin of victory in the matchup came when Damien Harris, former Alabama and NFL running back, took down Marlon Favorite, former LSU and NFL defensive tackle, in a 70-0 shutout.
While 70 points was quite impressive, Alabama’s dominance didn’t end there. Jamhyr Gibbs, Alabama alum and star NFL running back for the Detroit Lions, scored 83 points in a routing of Brad Wing, former LSU punter and current player for the San Antonio Brahmas of the UFL, who scored 26 in what was the highest scoring game of the rivalry.
While many matches had high scores, Alabama running back Jam Miller and LSU running back Josh Williams displayed a defensive masterclass. The final score was a 6-0 victory for Miller. The lone score came from an interception that Miller returned for a touchdown. Miller missed the ensuing extra point attempt, meaning zero offensive points were scored in the match.
