The LSU Tigers better come ready to play on Saturday because it sounds like the Alabama Crimson Tide are going to try to set the tone from the start.
As in the opening coin toss.
Alabama coach Nick Saban was asked on Thursday what his team would do should it win the coin toss on Saturday—kick or receive. His answer? "To be honest with you, I hope we elect to kick ass, is what I hope we do," Saban said, per 247Sports' Charlie Potter.
Sounds like someone is ready for the Top Five showdown.
