No. 9 Alabama cruised past No. 15 LSU 31-13 on Saturday behind three touchdown passes from quarterback Russell.
The Crimson Tide's offense struck early and often, with Russell connecting on scoring throws to three different receivers. Alabama's defense held the Tigers to just 13 points, forcing multiple punts and a turnover.
With the win, Alabama remains in contention for the College Football Playoff, while LSU suffers a setback in the SEC championship race.
