Tide defeats LSU in rematch to earn BCS title
Tuesday, January 10th, 2012State makes it three-peat for championships
Alabama coach Nick Saban celebrates the BCS
championship with the team Monday at the Superdome.
Alabama took care of business in 2012 what it couldn’t do in 2011: Beat LSU. The Tide, entering at No. 2, blanked the Tigers 21-0 in the BCS National Championship game Monday night in New Orleans.
Quarterback A.J. McCarron and linebacker Courtney Upshaw won the offensive and defensive MVP awards, while coach Nick Saban became the first coach to win three BCS titles, including 2009 at Alabama and 2003 at LSU. McCarron is the first sophomore QB to win a BCS title game.
Kicker Jeremy Shelley put up 15 points, tying the bowl record for five field goals. Trent Richardson tacked on something called a touchdown in the final 5 minutes. LSU hadn’t faced a shutout loss since 2002, losing to … Alabama; Saban was the Tigers’ coach at the time.
The state of Alabama brought home its unprecedented third title, following Auburn’s in 2010 and Alabama’s in 2009. And the SEC earned its sixth consecutive BCS championship, though technically also adding its first BCS championship game loss.
LSU and Alabama had already met once this season in November under similar circumstances, ranked at No. 1 and No. 2, and LSU coming away with the win in overtime 9-6.
Alabama finishes 12-1, while LSU finishes 13-1.

BCS National Championship preview: LSU vs. Alabama
Monday, January 9th, 2012
Alabama running back Trent Richardson will face off against
LSU again tonight for the BCS National Championship.
It’s déjà vu all over again.
No. 1 LSU and No. 2 Alabama will face each other again, this time for the BCS National Championship. In their previous encounter Nov. 5, the Tigers won in overtime 9-6.
Since then, LSU (13-0) has remained undefeated, capturing the SEC Championship against Georgia Dec. 3 and … waiting. The Tide (11-1) returned to its winning ways, wrapping up with a win against Auburn in the Iron Bowl Nov. 26.
The title game is familiar territory for both teams, Alabama having captured it last in 2010 against Texas, and LSU over Ohio State in 2008.
A win by Alabama would make it the third consecutive year for the state to bring home a championship, following Auburn’s victory over Oregon in 2011.
The game takes place in the Superdome in New Orleans. Kickoff is 7:30 tonight, airing on ESPN and WJOX (94.5 FM) [livestream].
