Daniels has caught 29 passes for 342 yards this year, but left both the Arkansas and Texas A&M games due to an injury. With LSU coming off a bye, Daniels has had extra time to get fully healthy.

And on the other sideline, while Alabama does enter fairly healthy, head coach Kalen DeBoer wants to see his team start fast in a hostile road environment.

“That’s something we’re always preaching,” DeBoer said. “And unfortunately, in those two games, we haven’t done that. In the Vanderbilt game, I think we quickly got going, had success. You just can’t dig yourself a hole, especially giving the opponent momentum in an environment like we’re gonna see at LSU. So it’s critical. We preach it every day.”

Getting a bye week ahead of the LSU game has become a staple for Alabama. Two weeks of preparation has given DeBoer plenty of time to make the fix he wants to see moving forward. He points out even practices have been worked with in order to get those fast starts.

“We try to even set up our practice to where we do start fast, whether it’s offense or defense,” DeBoer said. “And we did’t get that done the last two road games, as you mentioned. Always an emphasis on that. The guys are trying. It’s just a matter of doing things that you do well, going out there and executing.”
