One of the more notable narratives surrounding college football is that it’s nearly impossible to win a night game in Tiger Stadium.

But at least one coach who has entered Death Valley as an opponent several times doesn’t quite believe in the venue’s mystique.

During a speaking appearance Tuesday in Mobile, Tommy Tuberville said playing a night game in LSU’s stadium is “not that big of a deal,” according to a report from AL.com. While the former coach at Auburn and Ole Miss conceded that Tiger Stadium is always a tough environment, he asserted that it’s no different than any other SEC road venue.

“I think (LSU has) lost as many big games as they’ve won at night down there,” Tuberville said. “It’s a little bit of a fallacy. Now, it’s tough to play down there. But it’s tough to play at Florida and Auburn and Georgia and Alabama at night as well. Still, this will be the game of the year in the SEC. No doubt.”

Oddly enough, AL.com stated that Tuberville went 2-5 overall in Baton Rouge.

Tigers fans probably aren’t too happy to hear those comments, but Tuberville also said he believes LSU has the best shot of anyone in the country to knock off No. 1 Alabama.

“I think it will be the biggest test (Alabama) will have this year defensively against their offense,” Tuberville said. “I don’t see anyone down the road that Alabama would play in the championship game or playoff that is better than LSU, especially defensively. They can cover. They can play zone. They are fast. Their defensive front is good. They are well coached. They are built to stop a short passing game and tackle in the open field. Now can they slow Alabama down for a whole game? I don’t know. I just wonder if the LSU offense can make enough progress to help out and keep Alabama’s offense off the field.”

We’ll see how much influence Death Valley has on opponents when the No. 4 Tigers host the Crimson Tide for a primetime kickoff Nov. 3.
