As a female viewer of football,i had to really watch the games to figure out what was going on.The game between Alabama and LSU yesterday was really something.As injured Lsu players were assisted off the field,I was reminded of the movie The Longest Yard [Burt Reynolds],when the prisoners played the guards.
Alabama coach Nick Saban said of the game,"It was a tough,physical game.Man,those games are fun to be a part of."
It was touch and go for Alabama for a while but Julio Jones made the biggest play in what has been a mostly quiet season,breaking free with a 73 yard touchdown in the 4th quarter.Final score 24-15.The win kicked off another big celebration for Alabama,who had a 12-10 victory over Tennessse two weeks ago,with Alabama's Terrence Cody blocking two field goal attempts in the fourth quarter.The win over LSU earned Alabama a rematch with Florida for the league championship.Alabama is 9-0 for the second consecutive season,which has not occured since 1973-74 under coach Bear Bryant.
I am reminded of how Alabama Crimson Tide got it's name.A sports announcer was commenting on the game years ago and said"Alabama looks like a crimson tide rolling across the field".As a die-hard Bama fan all i can say is"Roll Tide Roll!
