Video: What LSU Players Had to Say About Beating Alabama, Not Getting Complacent
It'll be one of those games in 20 years' time where you'll be asked where you were when LSU finally beat Alabama after eight long years of close calls and blowouts.
For every player on the 2019 team, that moment Saturday when Joe Burrow lined up in victory formation in Bryant-Denny Stadium, was the sweetest of all. On Monday, players said the win was for LSU teams of the past that came out on the wrong end of the Tiger-Tide matchup the last few years.
While many of the questions were about Alabama, senior quarterback Joe Burrow made sure to say that there's three more games on the schedule and that win over the Crimson Tide means nothing if the team lays a dud over the next three outings.
"The message last week was, 'It's still all about LSU,' and that's how it is every week," Burrow said. "We didn't go into last game thinking, 'this is our Super Bowl.' It was just another game where if we played as well as we could play then we'll win the game. We feel like that's the case every week."
Here's a little bit of what the LSU players had to say about what the win means to them and how the big focus now is not getting complacent.
