The blame game is always fun after an Alabama loss.
While some point fingers at Nick Saban, Tua Tagovailoa and Crimson Tide’s defense for its home loss to LSU on last week, a former standout took a different route.
Mark Ingram, who played running back for the Tide from 2008-10, blamed President Donald Trump for Alabama’s latest misfortune. The 45th commander-in-chief of the United States of America decided he would take in a sporting event and Alabama-LSU was the one for him.
I’m blaming Trump for this one. Soon as they showed him at game we had that bad swacky!!

To support Ingram’s point, the Tide moved the ball well offensively in the first drive – until a timeout was taking to pay homage to Trump. Upon returning to action, Alabama turned the ball over inside LSU’s 10-yard and the run of bad plays went from there. Tagovailoa and company would eventually turn the game into a prize fight; however, the Tigers were too much to overcome.
