Aside from a 37-yard run by Harlem Berry in the first half, Alabama's defense was dominant. LSU's offense sputtered so badly that interim coach Frank Wilson benched veteran starter Garrett Nussmeier for sophomore Michael Van Buren Jr. in the second half. Van Buren provided a brief spark, but the Tigers (5-4, 2-4 SEC) managed just 232 total yards.

Saturday, it would be Alabama coming away with a 20-9 win over the Tigers in a game where the Crimson Tide did not necessarily play their best game. However, it was still enough for Alabama to pickup the win, and in the process, remaining tied atop the SEC standings with a trip to Atlanta in their sights.

The LSU Tigers make their way to Tuscaloosa in Week 11, stage set for another chapter of the iconic rivalry to unfold.

Despite the changes, some fans and players still view the matchup as a significant rivalry, with one father calling it a "shame" it won't be annual. Alabama won the final scheduled annual game against LSU with a score of 20-9.

Alabama will look to run its winning streak to 9 games as it welcomes Oklahoma to Bryant-Denny Stadium for a Week 12 contest.
