Sunday Hangover: LSU

The Crimson Tide had a good win last night against a difficult opponent, the LSU Tigers. 

It appears to have come at a horrible cost, however. 

From the looks of it, Shaun Dion Hamilton, one of Alabama's best linebackers, is probably out for the season because of knee injury. That stinks. 

The LSU defense played tough against the run last night, and they also had a pretty solid pass rush. 

Despite one big play by LSU, Alabama's defense played satisfactory: 6 sacks, 9 tackles for a loss, and 4 QB hurries. I say satisfactory because they didn't dominate like they usually do. 

The offense's play last night has me concerned. LSU stacked the box, and the running backs didn't bust any long runs that I can recall. 

The passing game was okay. There were a number of long passes, one in particular by Ruggs that was impressive. 

Next up is short trip to Starkville to take on the Bulldogs of Mississippi State.
