Tim Keenan III put it best when addressing Alabama’s physical state coming out of its second open date on the schedule.
“In the middle of football season,” the defensive lineman said with a laugh, “if something ain’t hurt, then you probably ain’t playing.”
That being said, Keenan and No. 4 Alabama enter the month recharged and ready to take on the final stretch of the regular season. That begins this week when the Crimson Tide welcomes LSU to Bryant-Denny Stadium for a 6:30 p.m. CT kickoff on Saturday.
Alabama (7-1, 5-0) and LSU (5-3, 2-3) are heading in opposite directions at the moment.
