LSU vs Bama: 'Actually, the Tigers Played Pretty Good'

Following the devastating - and one sided - loss to Alabama on Saturday night, 101.7 / 710 KEEL's Robert J Wright and Erin McCarty discuss the fact that the LSU Tigers, especially the defense, didn't play all that poorly against the top ranked Crimson Tide.

As one college football analyst described it, "LSU's defense, particularly the secondary, actually made Tua Tagavailoa seem human."
