LSU runs best fake punt against Alabama, leads to first score of game

LSU won the last time it played in Tuscaloosa in 2019. This time around, things are different, as the Tigers are nowhere near the juggernaut they were 2 years ago.

But the thing they do have going for him this time around is that they have nothing to lose. At 4-4 and with coach Ed Orgeron gone after the year, they’re opening the trick play book early on Saturday night against No. 2 Alabama.

As you can see below, facing an early 4th down, LSU ran an incredible fake punt, ending in a jump pass to convert:

That sparked the Tigers, as they marched down the field and scored a touchdown, taking an early 7-0 lead over the Crimson Tide.

We’ll see what else the Tigers have in store for the Tide on Saturday night, but Alabama will need to be ready for anything!
