The most anticipated college football game of the season was last Monday night. The BCS Championship Bowl was held in New Orleans. Many fans believed this game would finally determine who was the nation’s best college football team. The two rivals, University of Alabama and Louisiana State University faced off in this highly awaited game.
Louisiana State University was the favorite to win this game and was officially ranked #1. They had a great, undefeated 2011 season with a record of 13-0. They looked unstoppable. The Monday night game wasn’t the first game this season against Alabama. The two rivals faced off November 5, 2011. That evening, LSU beat Alabama 9-6 in overtime.
Many sports analysts said the University of Alabama was the underdog coming in to the BCS championship game. They were ranked #2 nationally but were looking to revenge their earlier loss to LSU. They also had a great season and were known for their strong defense. Alabama’s record going into the game was 12-1. Another interesting fact about the game is that the Alabama coach, Nick Saban, was previously the head football coach for LSU.
The BCS Championship game surprised many fans for several reasons. The game was a shutout with the University of Alabama winning 21-0. Everyone was expecting a close, exciting game, but it wasn’t. The University of Alabama scored by making five field goals and one touchdown late in the game. LSU never made it past the 50-yard line until the four quarter. The strong, confident LSU Tigers we have seen all season, failed to meet the challenge of Alabama’s Crimson Tide.
