No. 2 Alabama and No. 19 LSU square off in Tuscaloosa on Saturday night in an SEC West rivalry game the Crimson Tide have owned in recent years.
With Alabama boasting an undefeated 8-0 record, it would seem the Tigers have little chance of pulling off the major upset.
On Saturday morning’s SportsCenter, Paul Finebaum said it won’t be impossible for LSU to win, but said he believes the Crimson Tide should blast their rivals (via 247Sports):
“I hate to say there’s no chance for LSU, because there’s always a 1 percent chance,” Finebaum said. “But I’ve covered this game a million times. There’s been almost no buzz whatsoever. LSU fans have no confidence in this team and they shouldn’t. The Troy loss haunts them. I think that train will be derailed at Bryant-Denny Stadium tonight.”
If LSU can pull off the upset, it still controls its own destiny in the SEC West. However, winning in Tuscaloosa is no easy task.
See what happens when the game kicks off at 7 p.m. Central time on CBS.
