Bama Hammer looks ahead with Crimson Keys to this weekend’s matchup: Alabama vs. LSU.
Saturday night, the fourth-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide (7-1) will do battle with the second-ranked LSU Tigers (7-0) in the annual showdown by the SEC’s two biggest powers of the last decade. Since Nick Saban’s arrival in 2007, the Bama-LSU rivalry has become one of the hottest rivalries in the country and the game has been decided by seven points or less in seven of the nine games. The only games that were decided by more were wins by Alabama in the 2011 National Championship (21-0 Bama win) and the 2013 game between the two teams (38-17 Bama win).
