Inside LSU's epic collapse against Alabama: 'Wow, it's 31-13 right now?'

Lane Kiffin’s hyped LSU debut is unraveling after another blown chance left the Tigers 6-3 and their playoff hopes fading.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana – Sam Leavitt, LSU's quarterback, looked at the scoreboard and was astonished by the score. The Tigers were trailing 13-31 to Alabama, a margin that seemed impossible given the close nature of the game right up to that point. Leavitt, in disbelief, stated, "It just got out of hand really quick. It just kind of shocks you."

Just like that, the LSU offense seemed to lose its killer instinct, making ill-advised plays when it had the chance to win. This pattern of underperforming in crucial moments has plagued LSU's season, a season which had started with great promise and a lot of hype.
