TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Alabama's Greg McElroy and LSU's Jordan Jefferson have successfully guided their teams into national and Southeastern Conference title contention.
The two first-year starting quarterbacks can further win over fans with a victory Saturday when the third-ranked Crimson Tide hosts the ninth-ranked Tigers.
Both quarterbacks have had their struggles this season. McElroy hasn't reached 150 yards passing in any of the last four games or thrown for a touchdown in the last three.
Jefferson has completed two-thirds of his passes over the last two games since being held to less than 100 yards in a loss to Florida.
