Not a lot of high-impact plays in this game, but most of them involved Brandon Harris' arm because the run just wasn't there.

20% rushing success rate for LSU. TWENTY. That's just nuts. Alabama showed the same offensive issues as always -- pretty good until you fall off-schedule -- but the Tide were able to run, and the Tigers were not. Hard to come up with anything to say beyond that.
