Tyler Booker and the Alabama Crimson Tide put together their most dominant performance of the season during the 42-13 victory against LSU on Saturday.

Booker and the offensive line controlled the line of scrimmage the entire night. The Crimson Tide rushed the ball 48 times for 311 yards and 6 touchdowns. Quarterback Jalen Milroe rushed for 185 yards and 4 touchdowns, and the defense was opportunistic with 2 interceptions in the game.

It was the type of performance that sends a reminder to college football how good Alabama is, and Booker said on The Next Round show on YouTube that the Crimson Tide just have to play their game.

Tyler Booker to @NextRoundLive: "We just have to make sure we're playing Alabama football. That's something we've been preaching from the jump, but now that time has gone by, we've bumped our head twice — we've touched the stove twice — and we really believe it. No falling…

“We just have to make sure we’re playing Alabama football,” Booker told The Next Round. “That’s something we’ve been preaching from the jump, but now that time has gone by, we’ve bumped our head twice — we’ve touched the stove twice — and we really believe it. No falling subject to the rat poison now. We know we have to play Alabama football.”

The win was just what the Crimson Tide needed to remind the College Football Playoff committee that they are a team that can win it all. While they aren’t in complete control of their destiny when it comes to making the SEC Championship, the Crimson Tide are now in a good spot in the CFP ranking.

Up next for Booker and Alabama is a home game against Mercer.
