If I could give only one helmet sticker for this game, it has to go to our punter, Blake Doud. Jess said it best:
"Blake Doud’s punts, especially the one downed at the LSU 2-yard line, were huge. The downed punt in question, which came courtesy of Doud and gunner Jaylen Mbakwe, pinned LSU on its second-to-last drive and took the wind completely out of the Tigers’ sails. The Tigers netted 1 yard on the three subsequent plays and punted back to Alabama, which then drive for the game’s final field goal. All three of Doud’s punts Saturday night were downed inside the LSU 20-yard line. It’s the little things like that that can carry a game when all manner of major things are threatening to go sideways."
