LAZARE: LSU just comes up short

At a program like LSU, which has won three national championships this century, moral victories do not exist.

So, let’s not go overboard with the praise of the Tigers for their performance against Alabama on Saturday night in Tuscaloosa.

Yes, the LSU defense was very good. But, the offense was unable to take care of business so the Tigers’ upset bid was turned back in the fourth quarter. The Crimson Tide twice stopped LSU to preserve a 20-14 victory.
