Well so much for the vaunted LSU hangover, Alabama pummeled Mississippi State Saturday 51-3. The Tide dominated State in every facet of the game from start to finish Saturday and the game was never in question as the Tide rolled to 615 total yards of offense and took a 30-0 halftime lead before cruising to the 51-3 win.
