The LSU Tigers face yet another huge game this weekend, hosting undefeated No. 1 Alabama in what many consider the game of the year.
For LSU quarterback Joe Burrow, it’ll be his first experience with the LSU-Alabama rivalry, and he’s ready for it.
As you can see in the video below, Burrow says he’s not scared of facing the Tide’s ferocious defense:
"I'm not scared of this game. No one on this team is scared of this game."

“I’m not scared of this game,” he said. “I don’t think any of our guys are scared of this game. This is the reason you play football. This is why you grow up working so hard — for moments like this. If you’re timid, then don’t come out of that locker room, because we’re going to be ready to go.”
We’ll see if Burrow and the Tigers can indeed get off to a hot start against the Tide. Facing a player like Tua Tagovailoa won’t be easy, but Burrow will need to move the offense early and often to keep the Tigers in the game.
