They carried that momentum into Death Valley on Saturday night, where they defeated the Tigers 42-13.<\/p>\n<p>Quarterback Jalen Milroe rushed for 185 yards and 4 touchdowns, and McElroy on his college football show &#8216;Always College Football&#8217; said it was a vintage performance for Alabama.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">It was a VINTAGE <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AlabamaFTBL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@AlabamaFTBL<\/a> performance in the Tide&#8217;s win over LSU <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RollTide?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#RollTide<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MSi0u7DHJT\">pic.twitter.com\/MSi0u7DHJT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Always College Football (@AlwaysCFB) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AlwaysCFB\/status\/1855740078288519287?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 10, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This was a vintage Alabama performance,&#8221; McElroy said. &#8220;If not for the late touchdown, this was as good of a defensive performance as I&#8217;ve seen from Alabama in quite some time. \u00a0I don&#8217;t recall the last time a Nick Saban-coached team went to Baton Rouge and completely shut them down. This was a tremendous performance on both sides of the ball from Alabama. Alabama&#8217;s coaching staff takes a backseat to almost nobody. I don&#8217;t know if they&#8217;re the best, but Kalen DeBoer with an extra week to prepare, good luck.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With the win, Alabama is back on the right side of things when it comes to making the College Football Playoff and the SEC Championship.<\/p>\n<p>The Crimson Tide have a manageable schedule the rest of the way, as they play Mercer next week.
