On the sixth play of the drive, Hurts found freshman wide receiver Henry Ruggs III for a 47 yard pitch-and-catch to setup the UA offense at the LSU 18-yard line. Three plays later, the Crimson Tide cashed in when Hurts found sophomore tight end Irv Smith Jr. for a four-yard touchdown.

Only 51 seconds later, Alabama capitalized on the LSU turnover, using four plays to go 37 yards, capped by junior running back Bo Scarbrough's rumble through Tiger defenders on his way to the end zone from nine yards out. Following the Pappanastos PAT, the Tide led 14-0 with 14:17 left in the second quarter.
The Tigers responded on the next drive with a 13-play 71-yard drive that ended with a 21-yard field goal to trim the Tide lead to 14-3 with 8:38 remaining in the first half.
The two defenses held the respective offenses at bay for the remainder of the half, giving the Tide a 14-3 advantage going into the break.
Each team came out of halftime trading several punts apiece before the Alabama offense took over at its own 44-yard line with 5:17 to go in the third quarter. The Tide then strung together seven plays while amassing 56 yards, capping the drive with Hurts going untouched into the end zone for a three-yard rushing touchdown. Following the Pappanastos kick, Alabama led 21-3 with 2:55 left in the third quarter.
The LSU offense responded quickly, going 67 yards on four plays in 1:07, finishing with a two-yard touchdown scamper to cut the Alabama lead to 21-10 with 1:48 remaining in the third quarter.
On the ensuing Alabama drive, the Tide answered by driving 52 yards on 11 plays, closing with Pappanastos splitting the uprights on a 40-yard field goal attempt to extend the UA lead to 24-10 with 13:25 left in the game.
