Yeah, put this bulletin on the fridge, Alabama Football.

You won’t want to forget this one for a while.

No. 11 Alabama dominated No. 15 LSU 42-13 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to give Crimson Tide coach Kalen DeBoer his first SEC road victory. It also kept Alabama alive for the College Football Playoff. Another loss and the Crimson Tide is almost done.

DeBoer said the word of the week for Alabama was “relentless.” It showed in the way the Crimson Tide played, and the report card reflected that effort.

Here’s how we rated Alabama (7-2, 4-2 SEC) in the game against the Tigers (6-3, 3-2).

Offence: A

Ten records. Six touchdowns. No turnovers, a day when the rain made the soccer ball slippery. This was offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan’s best outing so far this season. Alabama came into the game prepared on offense and followed up with a strong second half. Jalen Milroe gashed LSU on the ground again, scoring four scores. The most impressive stat, however, might have been what Alabama did on third down. The Crimson Tide converted 10 of 13 attempts. This proved crucial in extending drives while keeping LSU off the field. Alabama didn’t do much through the air, but it didn’t need to pass when the running game was working this well. 311 rushing yards shows how good this ground attack can be. There’s really no fault on this note, other than failing to convert once on fourth down. But that’s not enough to drop this grade from an A on what was a dominant performance from this unit.

Defense: A

Kane Wommack’s group was on the verge of going another game without giving up a touchdown until LSU scored in the final minute with the game spinning out of control. Alabama’s defense is really in good shape at the perfect time. The Crimson Tide grabbed three more takeaways, marking the fourth straight game with at least three. The defense gave up a few yards at times, but when it mattered most, they were able to make a stop. Or takeout. On two occasions, LSU placed the ball inside the Alabama 5-yard line. The Tigers failed to score a touchdown either time and only had three points total on those two opportunities. The defense also had two sacks and five tackles for loss, shutting down the LSU offense. Another good day from the Wommack group after a shutout against Missouri.

Special teams: B+

This is an area that could have been a little better at times. Specifically the kickoff and punt coverage units. Alabama gave up an average of 40.5 yards per punt return on two punts. During that time, he allowed 143 return yards on five kickoff returns, an average of 29 yards per kick. Alabama also had a delay of game penalty right before a Graham Nicholson field goal attempt. This pushed the Crimson Tide out of field goal range and forced a punt. None of these things cost Alabama much time, but they will be areas the Crimson Tide will need to clean up moving forward. Some positives: Ryan Williams returned a punt 28 yards. James Burnup averaged 45.5 yards per punt. And Nicholson made all of his extra point attempts.

Overall: a

We won’t even let the slight drop in special teams rating bring down the overall rating. The offense and defense each dominated in their own way and made up for the shortcomings of the special teams which were somewhat finicky anyway. Alabama had its most impressive performance yet this season and therefore deserves an A overall. The Crimson Tide still has to take care of business over the next three weeks, but Alabama is now full steam ahead toward the playoffs.
