Even though Lavine was only a junior while Kupp was a senior, I still found this to be pretty interesting. Zach had only 4 points at the half and finished with 20, scoring mostly in garbage time. Kupp had 19 points on 9/11 shooting and guarded Lavine.
Also, Kupp’s hometown is Yakima, Washington. Some of you may recall this as the place where iCarly’s grandparents threatened to move her to due to Spencer’s immaturity.
Edit: Just to add more context to this, at this point in time Kupp had only received 2 scholarship offers from Eastern Washington and Idaho State. He didn’t receive a single football scholarship offer until 2 weeks after his final high school game.

It has been a decade since Alabama and LSU played the game that many say killed the BCS system and paved the way for the present CFP system. On January 9, 2012 Alabama defeated LSU 21-0 to win the 2011 National Championship.
The game of course was a rematch of their November 5th SEC battle, won by LSU 9-6 in overtime.
The game was criticized on multiple fronts. First, many believed that Alabama did not deserve to be in the game, that someone else, like one-loss Big 12 champ Oklahoma State was more deserving of a crack at undefeated #1 LSU rather than Alabama getting a rematch. LSU fans also felt it was unfair to have to face the Tide again, arguing that they would naturally have more motivation. And still others thought that a rematch would inevitably be less interesting than a new matchup.
In the end, the game was one only a Tide fan could love. The Alabama defense Python-strangled LSU, holding the Tigers to just 5 first downs and 92 total yards. LSU did not cross the 50 yard line until midway through the 4th quarter, and didn't stay there long.
The great LSU defense also played valiantly, holding the Tide offense to five field goals, until Alabama finally scored an exclamation-point TD with just a few minutes left and the game long since decided. Alabama did gain 384 yards, mostly by having their QB throw quick passes in the flat to avoid the fierce Tiger pass rush and loosen up the middle for the running game.
The sight of two SEC teams playing in the title game, and a boring defensive struggle at that, convinced many that a new system for choosing a champ was needed.
Anyway, congratulations Crimson Tide!
Coming into the game, Alabama had been favored in 92 consecutive games, and in 163 of their last 164.
Their last game as an underdog was at Georgia in 2015. Alabama won that game 38-10.
Prior to that, Bama had a 72-game streak as a favorite, dating back to the 2009 SEC Championship game with Tim Tebow's Florida team, which it won 32-13.
I believe this is probably the most impressive stat for Saban in his time at Alabama; he has a record of 1-0 as an underdog since 2010.

He claims Joe Burrow played late late into major blowout games and that made his stats better than Young. Burrow played a much harder schedule than 2021 Alabama in my opinion. I just want to be able to throw actual game time stats of both in order to end this argument.
Here’s looking at you, Tebow & Co.
As the title said, this will be my first time going to an SECCG, and it will be my first time in the new stadium. I've been to plenty of Georgia games and have spent a lot of time in downtown Atlanta. However, I've never been in downtown when any game or major event was going on.
I'm just kind of wondering what to expect in terms of getting into the stadium, how soon the traffic will get backed up within a mile radius of the stadium, and just any things that I may not have thought of. Thanks everyone. GO DAWGS!!!
Who else will be there?! This is my first SECCG and I can’t wait!
Go Dawgs!
