As expected, Tiger Stadium was deafening to open then-No. 15 LSU football's highly anticipated home matchup against then-No. 11 Alabama. But as the Crimson Tide continued to score and eventually win 42-13, the fans grew angrier and also quieter as a heavy majority of them left the game early.

Down big in the third quarter, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe was sacked on third down, but the officials flagged LSU for a facemask. This resulted in fans throwing debris onto the field, and it continued even after the public address announcer said not to do so.

The SEC fined LSU $250,000 for this on Monday and gave the Tigers a couple of guidelines.

  • Be required to use all available resources, including security, stadium and television video, to identify individuals who threw objects onto the playing field or at the opposing team. All individuals identified as having been involved in disrupting the game shall be prohibited from attending LSU Athletics events for the remainder of the 2024-25 academic and athletic year;
  • Review and update its Athletics Department game management procedures and alcohol availability policies to prevent a recurrence of Saturday night’s disruption, which shall include an evaluation of agreed upon SEC Sportsmanship, Game Management and Alcohol policies to verify full compliance with existing standards
  • Following completion of this review, the University shall provide a report to the Conference Office to summarize its efforts to identify and penalize offenders and its plan to enact policies to prevent future similar incidents while ensuring compliance with Conference standards.

The press release also mentioned that the SEC is "not suspending alcohol sales privileges for Louisiana State University at this time but reserves the right to do so if other requirements outlined above are not met."

On This Day in Crimson Tide History:

November 12, 1960: Alabama rallied from a 15-0 fourth quarter deficit to defeat Georgia Tech 16-15 at Grant Field in Atlanta. Senior quarterback Bobby Skelton engineered the comeback, with Leon Fuller and Norbie Ronsonet scoring touchdowns, but the game came down to a field-goal attempt on the final play. Paul W. “Bear” Bryant went with reserve kicker Digger O'Dell, who had never attempted a field goal at Alabama, to make the game-winning kick.

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

On Jalen Hurts becaming the first Crimson Tide player to have 300 yards passing and 100 yards rushing in the same game during Alabama’s 51-3 victory against Mississippi State on this date in 2016: "It's one of the things we've been wanting to do is try to develop some confidence in the passing game, and obviously he was able to do that very well today."
