Following huge win over Bama, players went to recruits section to tell them to come to LSU
Published:
Topping the Crimson Tide for the first time since 2011, No. 2 LSU held off No. 3 Alabama on Saturday, 46-41.
Earning the top spot in Sunday’s AP Poll with the victory, Tigers players took the opportunity to deliver a message to some Alabama recruits.
Here’s a look at what freshman Marcel Brooks, junior Grant Delpit and redshirt junior Thaddeus Moss had to say:
The moment when @Thaddeusmoss @realgrantdelpit @MarcelBrooks_5 and his @LSUfootball teammates come over to the @AlabamaFTBL recruitment section to suggest they consider an alternative option in Baton Rouge ?! Gotta ❤️ @SEC @Geaux247 @TomVH @JibrilleFewell pic.twitter.com/vvz5QDsRC7

Jumping out to an early 10-0 lead, sophomore Ja’Marr Chase got the Tigers on the board first when redshirt senior Joe Burrow found him from 33 yards out. Hauling in six passes, Chase led LSU with 140 receiving yards.
Largely thanks to junior Clyde Edwards-Helaire, the Tigers took a 33-13 lead into the halftime break. Showcasing his skills in both facets of the offense, Edwards-Helaire finished with 180 yards and four touchdowns on 29 touches.
After back-to-back scores by junior Najee Harris, Alabama cut the deficit to six points, 33-27, early in the fourth quarter.
Edwards-Helaire’s final touchdown with 1:43 to play extended LSU’s lead back to 12 points and the Tigers were able to hang on and move to 9-0.
Their second straight road game, LSU will travel to Oxford to battle Ole Miss (4-6) on Saturday.
Dropping to 8-1 with the loss, the Crimson Tide will head to Starkville to face Mississippi State (4-5).
