HomeSportsLSU holds strong against Mississippi
Posted in Sports on 17th September 2011

In the LSU game this week, the No. 3 Tigers’ defense managed to last until the end against No. 25 Mississippi. Fans already knew that the team had great running and defense, but now they’ve seen a quarterback coming to the forefront in the shape of Drew Alleman.

In what has been called a ‘field goal parade’, which was lead by Drew Alleman, the game witnessed kicks one after another, and often-times at crucial moments in the game: like Alleman’s 21-yard field goal in the first quarter, which was a culmination of a 16-play 77-yard drive. Mississippi had their own response to this in the form of a 14-play 57-yard drive ending in Derek DePasquale’s 26-yarder. Leading into halftime, LSU continued to push hard, with Alleman delivering a 42-yard goal with 1:18 left on the clock in the second quarter. This was matched by DePasquale in the third quarter, tying the game at 6 each. Alleman made yet another field goal to give LSU a 9-6 lead with less than two minutes remaining.

LSU was finally able to make a breakthrough with Lee’s touchdown throw that sealed Mississippi’s fate that day. That gave confidence to a small pocket of LSU fans who taunted the rival team by chanting “This is our State,” a marketing campaign by the opposing team.
