In just two days, Alabama football returns to the field to face a hungry and motivated LSU team at Bryant-Denny Stadium. It's been a tumultuous two weeks for the Tigers since they dismissed Brian Kelly following a blowout home loss to Texas A&M.
LSU came into the season with National Championship aspirations. The Tigers come to Tuscaloosa on Saturday sitting at just 5-3, with no realistic path to make the College Football Playoff. But they would love to play spoiler, and putting Alabama in a precarious position in early November would be just what the doctor ordered for the Baton Rouge faithful.
