Alabama is only on a two-win streak against the Tigers, but they’ve also won 10 of the last 11 dating back to the 9-6 regular season loss in 2011. That’s quite a run, but LSU won’t be an easy game, especially with it being on the road. Brian Kelly’s squad has continued to get better, which is why they’re currently ranked No.18 in the country.
Before LSU, Alabama will have a week off to get healthy and refocused for a tough stretch that includes back-to-back road games against the Tigers and a top-15 Ole Miss team. If the Tide can get through that stretch, it’ll finish up the season with home games against Austin Peay and Auburn.
