Eye of the Tiger

        Some called it the game of the century. Number 1 vs. Number 2. In the Deep South, it was Louisiana State against Alabama, two SEC powerhouses. The fans were watching to see what amazing touchdown catches would be made, what amazing scores the teams would do, and what the final score would be. But no one expected the score to by 9-6. Throughout the entire game, not a single touchdown was scored. Instead, the star of the game was Drew Alleman, LSU's kicker, who kicked the game winning field goal in overtime.
        The teams overall were pretty even. LSU had the ball for 29:54 while Alabama had the ball for 30:06. Alabama missed four field goals. If they had made them, Alabama would have been able to pull to upset over top ranked LSU. Alabama kicker Cade Foster missed two field goals in the first quarter, and kicker Jeremy Shelley had one blocked. It wasn't until the second quarter when Shelley finally made a field goal.
        Punt after punt was kicked, including a 73 yarder by LSU's Brad Wing. Defense had ruled the field. This was the lowest scoring 1 vs. 2 game other than the famous 1949 tie between Army and Notre Dame.
