Standout real freshman pass receiver Ryan Williams was targeted simply 3 times as the Crimson Tide concentrated on their hurrying attack, taping 29 lawns.
It was a frustrating outcome for head coach Brian Kelly's group, specifically after enabling Milroe to make a comparable effect compared to the 2023 loss. LSU has actually now dropped 2 successive video games, making it exceptionally challenging to complete for a College Football Playoff area.
Alabama enhanced to 7-2.
