LSU victory over Alabama gets lost in Tide media guide | NOLA.com

If you slept through the college football season last season and picked up the 2012 Alabama football media guide, you might think the Tide went unbeaten, rather than 12-1.

A typo in the Alabama media guide listed the Tide's 9-6 overtime loss to LSU on Nov. 5 in Tuscaloosa as a victory. It probably feels that way to some LSU fans after the Tigers were dominated in a 21-0 loss to the Crimson Tide in the BCS Championship Game in New Orleans on Jan. 9.
The score was listed correctly in the score column at 6-9 OT, but there was a 'W' instead of an 'L' in the won-loss column of last year's game-by-game results. LSU won that game on a 25-yard field goal by Drew Alleman, his third of the game. The Tigers finished the season 13-1.
