Slow starts offensively for Alabama football have been a pet peeve for its fans.
Nick Sheridan, the Crimson Tide’s offensive coordinator, had the perfect script to open the matchup versus Georgia on Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium, but Alabama was dry on offense to start possession versus Vanderbilt, Tennessee, and Missouri.
Slow starts caused the Tide to lose two of those three matchups, and it cannot afford a third defeat against LSU.
Alabama travels to one of the most hostile atmospheres in college football next week.
Kalen DeBoer is set to meet Brian Kelly, Mike the Tiger, and LSU fans at night inside Tiger Stadium.
