I don’t care who you are, this is some funny, funny stuff.
The last two games, top-ranked Alabama pitched shutouts against both LSU (29-0) and Mississippi State (24-0). In fact, the ‘Bama defense hadn’t allowed a touchdown since the second quarter of its Oct. 20 win over Tennessee.
The key word in the last sentence of the above paragraph is “hadn’t,” as in the past tense, as Citadel’s Dante Smith scampered 45 yards for a touchdown early in the second quarter to tie the nation’s No. 1 team at 7-all in Tuscaloosa.
The best part, though, was the FCS school’s reaction to the unexpected score as they trolled both LSU and Mississippi State via Twitter.
WE SCORED. 🏈🏈

Well-played, whoever is in charge of the Citadel Twitter account. Well-played.
As for the game? Citadel, which came in as a 52-point underdog, is tied with mighty Alabama 10-all at halftime.
UPDATE: Citadel Twitter also brought Ole Miss, 62-7 losers to Alabama earlier this year, into the tweeting fray.
By the way,@OleMissFB we scored more points than you too.
