Title: Tide overcomes mental lapse in blowout Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on October 23, 2011, 12:13:45 AM http://espn.go.com/blog/sec/post/_/id/31213/tide-overcomes-mental-lapse-in-blowout
Quote TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- It can finally begin. The wait is over and the Crimson Tide can finally utter three little letters that cause the ground to shake around these parts. “We can all talk about LSU now,” Alabama wide receiver Darius Hanks said while sporting an ear-to-ear smile. “I’m looking forward to it. Lot of talk about LSU.” The distraction that is LSU might have come close to being the undoing of this team in a lazy, unorthodox first half that saw just six points next to Alabama’s name on the scoreboard. Thanks to a Nick Saban halftime speech in which Hanks said Saban “jumped our butts,” the energy level rose to the degree that the 101,821 in attendance expected and Alabama rolled right over Tennessee for the 37-6 victory. |
