Looked like the Alabama team we all know and love in the second half. We can't start slow like we did tonight against LSU. That slow start is my only complaint. Kudos to the team for getting their act together in the second half and dominating. Roll Tide. LSU Bleaux.

Slow start. Great finish.

Roll Tide!

Well, it was a "trap" game... so I don't think we'll be as flat in 2 weeks.

i think they we're guilty of looking forward in the 1st half, but good job to the whole team on re-focusing their attention and taking care of business.

Enjoyable the way we finished this game. The second half the Tide played up to CNS standards.

A tale of two halves. AJ answered all of those who asked, could he step up if a defense stopped the run. We had 35 yards rushing in the first half, then AJ stepped up. After we scored the 2nd TD in the 3rd quarter, TN rolled over like a good puppy.

 

[U of A]

it was good to see AJ not get flustered after the INT and show poise and the "D" showed up also as was seen by the 2nd half shut-out

Great finish!! I think they will be up for LSU in the first two quarters, unlike the TN game. The ESPN2 announcers just choose AL as their pick in the AL vs LSU game.

Not so fast my friend..

Lacy hopped into the locker room on one foot. Cyrus limped into the locker room. We need this week off..

But more than anything..the first order of business in this bye week: Shave AJ's mustache

This game may have really ended up being good for McCarron

Wonder why the coaches were heck bent to pass starting the second half? Curious play calling but successful.

I thought I saw Cyrus limping around on the field.

I'm not so sure about the injuries part. I read someone post that Alex Watkins had a sling on his wrist, and I think I read the trainer's lips say 42 Lacy is done.

UT was selling out to stop the run. It was to loosen them up, and it did.

Watkins was hurt. Lacy's foot got aggravated. Great win, but not entirely without injuries

CJ in his first full game back, led the team in tackles tonight with 8.

But check out this stat line for Hightower:
7 tackles, 1 sack, 1 TFL, 1 INT, 2 pass breakups, 3 QB hurries.

Give that man a game ball!

And Upshaw (through injuries) wasn't too shabby himself:
7 tackles, 1 sack, 1 TFL, 1 forced fumble.
