BATON ROUGE, La. -- Alabamas visit to LSU on Saturday night should have been shot in black and white. It should have been captured on spools of film, developed in a darkroom and then shipped to Tuscaloosa and Baton Rouge theaters to be shown between Steamboat Willie and newsreel updates from Normandy.Your final score: Crimson Tide 10, Tigers 0. No, that wasnt the score at the end of the first quarter or even the half. It was indeed the final score.People are always saying they want old-school football, LSUs Ed Orgeron said as he looked over a one-sheet box score that had just been handed to him, mere moments after being handed his first loss in four games as interim coach. That was as old-school a game as I can remember in a while. Im sure some will say it was ugly, but thats probably because it was just different than what theyre used to these days.Just take a look at the very day this game was played. This was one of only two contests between members of the College Football Playoff committees Top 25, and they combined for 10 points. Of the 20 members of that poll who were in action on Saturday, 10 scored 40 or more points, six topped 50 and three exceeded 60. Another, 17th-ranked Baylor, scored only 22 but surrendered 62 to unranked TCU.This is a season of spread offenses and 500-yard passers and 200-yard rushers and basketball-ish final scores of 66-59. It has been a video-game season. But while others have been playing on PS4s, the Tide and Tigers werent even using an Atari 2600. They were playing bumper pool.Nick Saban started his postgame news conference by saying, Talk about winning ugly. By the time he had wrapped up his remarks 10 minutes later, on the TV behind him Washington and Cal were already at 28-20 with 505 yards of offense ... with 6:02 remaining in the second quarter. By halftime in Death Valley, the Tide and Tigers had combined for zero points and 220 yards of offense.How ugly was it? Even the descriptions were ugly.This was a game thats going to test your nuts, Alabama linebacker Ryan Anderson said after logging six tackles and a sack. You know what I mean, it was old school.Old school, like the 102,321 fans in attendance should have been asked to check their smartphones at the door and told they could call home via a bank of pay phones in the concourse. Dont worry, Sarah the operator will patch you through.The contest started with an Alabama drive that ended with an interception and an ensuing LSU drive that was thwarted via a sack and a blocked field goal. It had a failed fourth-and-1, a pair of missed field goals, a pair of interceptions, 13 punts and a yards-per-play average of just a Band-Aids thickness over 3.5.During one particularly unseemly stretch, an LSU run out of bounds turned into a shoving match that turned totally WWE, complete with a bent folding chair, trampled by fleeing reserve LSU linemen. Veteran SEC referee Matt Austin even threw in some theatrics, rattling off the four offsetting unsportsmanlike conduct penalties with a pace and a pecking order that sent the crowd into a frenzy. Minutes later, on the opposite sideline, LSU was slapped with a flag for a late hit that was borderline at best, but the real hit was when quarterback Jalen Hurts was clotheslined by teammate O.J. Howard as the tight end was trying to catch him before he fell ... but only after a member of the SEC chain crew was flattened in the process.This game has been so rough that its spilled over into the rest of us, too, a longtime Tiger Stadium security guard said as he was helped from the ground after being run over by a pair of LSU tacklers trying to chase down Hurts.That task was one that became more and more difficult as the night wore on.It felt like one of those games where if the field ever started to tip just a little bit, just a little opening, then that might be the difference, Orgeron recalled.He was right. After three quarters of zeroes on the scoreboard and three quarters of each team being forced to start drives deep in their own territory, Alabamas possessions began to slowly shift from starting at the 14 or the 12 or the 9 to, in the third quarter, the 40, 46 and 42.Finally, Orgeron confessed, we just gave the kid too much to work with.The kid was Hurts. And when this medieval rack of a night had finally been clicked one round too far, it was Hurts who broke free. The most old-school contest of 2016 was won by the youngest player on the field. Less than two minutes into the fourth quarter, he impossibly wove his way through LSUs tackling machine defense for a 21-yard touchdown run.Only one player managed to put a three-digit number beside his name in the final box score, and Hurts did it twice, with 114 yards rushing and 107 passing. A game played in a nearly 92-year-old stadium between a pair of teams meeting for the 81st time, who were turning the clock back on modern football at least 40 years, was decided by an 18-year-old true freshman who one year ago was getting ready for the Texas high school football playoffs.The nations No. 1 team entering the weekend will still be its No. 1 team at weekends end -- still the queen, beauty or otherwise.People know that we can compete in the track meets because weve done that plenty, said Saban, reminding that his team had averaged nearly 44 points per game in the eight contests prior to Saturday night. Now we know we can win when we play ugly, too. There will be a lot to learn from this film, but itll be ugly film to watch.Coming soon, to a nickelodeon near you.

Each of Houstons starters scored in double figures as the Rockets improved to 2-0 against the Spurs this season, with both victories coming on the road. They also moved within 3 1/2 games of San Antonio (22-7) for the lead the Southwest Division. The demolition job that R Ashwin did on New Zealand during the third Test, in Indore, shows that the Australian distaste for offspin bowling has now spread to become an Antipodean curse.Ashwin has already caused Australia huge problems in India - not quite as devastating as his Indore performance, but troublesome nevertheless. Coincidentally, it was in Australia that Ashwin learned a very good lesson about bowling. His first attempt was peppered with multiple variations, resulting in his line and length suffering, which, in turn, provided easy pickings for the batsmen.His second attempt was only marginally more successful in the scorebook but the execution was a big improvement. He concentrated on spinning his offbreak and relied more on subtle variations of pace rather than trying to turn the ball both ways. This provided more control and the batsmen were made to work harder for their runs.That led to a much better performance against Australia when they toured India in 2012-13. Ashwin became a more confident bowler, exuding an aura that all good spinners possess. And as a solid middle-order run getter, he was on course to becoming a regular match-winner for India.The trouble that Ashwin caused Australia in India was reminiscent of the mayhem that a number of other talented offspinners achieved.My first memory of Australian ineptitude against offspin was a vivid one: Jim Laker taking 19 wickets in the 1956 Old Trafford Test. I was verging on teenager status and was devastated to see a picture of my idol, Keith Miller, tumbling head first out of his crease as he was beaten in flight by Laker.Before collecting all ten wickets in the second innings of the match, Laker had already achieved that rare distinction in Australias tour match against Surrey. Such was the turmoil in the Australian camp that when skipper and offspinner Ian Johnson attempted to rally his troops with an anything he can do, I can do speech, his vice-captain, Miller, is reported to hhave raised his gaze from a form guide and responded: Six to four you cant.ddddddddddddAnother offspinner to weave a spell over Australian batsmen was the Indian magician Erapalli Prasanna. In 1967-68 he took 25 wickets in only four Tests in Australia, and then bettered it by one (in five Tests) in the return series, in 1969-70. His performance in Australia has to be one of the outstanding achievements by a fingerspinner in a country renowned for pitches that are much more responsive to wristspinners.Then there was Harbhajan Singhs tornado-like destruction in the 2000-01 series in India. Just when it appeared that Australia would win their first series in India since the 1969-70 tour and complete their 17th successive Test victory, Harbhajan struck. With six second-innings wickets in Kolkata, he turned what looked to be an Australian cruise to victory into a head-on crash. He turned in a similarly destructive performance in Chennai, and finished the three Test series with an incredible 32 wickets. No wonder the crowds began chanting Singh is king.Ashwin has already inflicted much pain on Australia, as did Laker, Prasanna and Harbhajan before him. Ashwins dominant performance in the series against New Zealand will send chills through Steven Smiths squad.Ashwins 27 wickets at 17.77 and Man-of-the-Series award against New Zealand could be viewed as a prelude to the main performance. In a few months time he will face an Australian line-up traumatised by the portly left-arm Sri Lankan fingerspinner Rangana Herath.Ashwins spin bowling partner, left-armer Ravindra Jadeja, will be buoyed by Heraths success. Not only does this not augur well for Australias batsmen, with their distaste for spin bowling, it will also revive memories of 1956 and the destruction caused by Laker and his partner - the left-arm orthodox spinner Tony Lock.
