Nick Saban and No. 6 Alabama will get a big test coming out of a bye week when they square off against host No. 10 LSU.
Saban, during his weekly radio show on Thursday night, refuted the cliche that a bye week is always an advantage, instead insisting it is situational based on the mental approach of each team.
Saban: "People always assume a bye week is a good thing, but you never know if it's a good thing or a bad thing until you go through it, see what you get done, see how you improve, see how your players respond. … That's what we're anxious to see this weekend."

“People always assume a bye week is a good thing, but you never know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing until you go through it, see what you get done, see how you improve, see how your players respond,” Saban said. “That’s what we’re anxious to see this weekend.”
Alabama is coming off a 30-6 victory against Mississippi State. Alabama quarterback Bryce Young completed 21 of his 35 passes for 249 yards, 2 touchdowns, and no interceptions. Henry To’oTo’o led Alabama with 13 total tackles.
If Alabama wins this contest, it could solidify a spot in the SEC title game. The top of the SEC West is currently tied between Alabama, LSU, and No. 11 Ole Miss.
