LSU travels to Tuscaloosa to take on Alabama on Saturday night riding a three-game win streak which includes a pair of wins over then Top 25 teams in Florida and Auburn.
The Tigers then rolled to a 40-24 win at Ole Miss before taking a week off to prepare for the Crimson Tide.
Alabama, ranked No. 1 in the coaches and AP poll but No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings, also had a bye last week.
Also, Alabama is riding a six-game win streak over the Tigers and coach Nick Saban is 8-3 against LSU as the Crimson Tide's man in charge.
