LSU Trumps Alabama In The Final Minutes
I don’t know how many more of these games I can handle without going to the doctor and asking for some heart medication.
The Tigers did it again Saturday night, scoring two touchdowns in the final three minutes to stay in the thick of the national championship race with a heart-stopping 41-34 win over No. 17 Alabama.
Flynn tossed a pass over the middle to Early Doucet, who shook away from one defender, faked out another and went all the way to the end zone for the tying score with 2:49 remaining.
Alabama got it back, but safety Chad Jones burst up the middle to sack John Parker Wilson and knock the ball away. It rolled along the turf until LSU’s Curtis Taylor fell on it at the Tide 4.
Two plays later, Jacob Hester dove over from the 1 with 1:26 left and LSU was still in the title race.
And this isn’t to mention fourteen penalties for 130 yards (many at really bad times), coupled with three interceptions and a blocked field goal. Alabama has three penalties. Couple this with a lost by Boston College to Florida State and LSU is back to No. 2 in the BCS standings.
