Nick Saban took a rough fall early in the game at LSU on Saturday night following an incomplete pass as cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry spilled over into the sideline.
Alabama had an early interception, but the Crimson Tide defense got a pair of sacks early to slow down the LSU offense.
It was a game of defense early on, as the teams combined for 6 punts by early in the second quarter.
This is the 30th time Alabama and LSU are meeting with both teams ranked, the most of any SEC teams and the fourth-most among all rivalries.
The Crimson Tide hold a 55-26-5 all-time advantage in the series, including a 29-9-2 mark in Baton Rouge. Alabama won last year, 20-14, and has won 2 straight in the series. The Crimson Tide have won 10 of the last 11 meetings, while Saban is 12-5 against LSU.
