LSU is #1 in the nation. They were throwing their ace on Friday, and about an hour before the game, Bama decided to scratch their #1, and have someone out of the bullpen start. I've heard two scenarios, one of which being the Bama starter was having back issues. The other is, why waste their #1 against one of the best in the game, and try and pick up a win on Saturday.
Either way, sounds like that info was passed on, and someone decided to cash in. Just about didn't, though, because LSU almost blew the lead late.
