Focus Shifts for Football to Gameplanning for Top-10 Contest with LSU

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The University of Alabama football team practiced in full pads for two hours outdoors on the Thomas-Drew Practice Fields on Tuesday afternoon in preparation for this Saturday’s top-10 matchup with the No. 4 LSU Tigers.

Alabama will be faced with the task of stopping the SEC’s top rushing offense that has put together 309.1 yards a game and leads the conference with 2,164 total despite playing only seven games thus far. Not to be overlooked is the Tigers’ rush defense, which ranks second in the conference behind the Crimson Tide. The two SEC West rivals will square off at 7 p.
