Here are the highlights from what LSU coach Les Miles had to say in his weekly press conference on Monday as the No. 4 Tigers get set to visit the No. 7 Tide in Tuscaloosa this Saturday.

The two SEC West behemoths will once again be on a big stage like they have so many times before, and Miles knows it’s not like the others.

Miles believes his team will deliver a good performance under the primetime lights.

Les Miles has faced Alabama 11 times while in Baton Rouge, going 5-6 in those games.

Miles indicated that his team has put extra attention into special teams this week. LSU has struggled in certain phases on special teams, so that’s understandable. However, you can’t help but wonder if that’s a sign of the Mad Hatter having something up his sleeve.

A lot will be made all week as Leonard Fournette, the best running back in the nation, faces arguably the best run defense in the country. However, Miles didn’t want to draw too much attention to his star.

Miles also praised his quarterback Brandon Harris, whose development has been crucial to the Tigers’ success to this point, and that will ring true on Saturday.

While Fournette and Harris will be key for the Tigers, Derrick Henry will be key for the Tide, and Miles knows it will take more than one defender to bring him down.

As always, there’s going to be plenty of talent on the field when the teams meet in Tuscaloosa that will likely be playing on Sundays in the future.

LSU also gave an injury report on his team, which looks like it could have a perfect bill of health once Saturday arrives. Miles said DT Christian LaCouture, CB Tre’Davious White and FB J.D. Moore are all expected to play against Alabama.

And Miles also touched on Sid Ortis, a 16-year-old LSU fan who passed away after a long battle with cancer on Saturday morning.
