LSU-Alabama preview and score prediction

Since Nick Saban became Alabama’s coach in 2007, LSU has registered five victories over his teams.

Three of the five victories came in the first five meetings between Saban and former Tigers coach Les Miles. LSU has won just two of the last 12 games in the series.

The Tigers have won just one game in which they shut down the Crimson Tide offense – that coming in the 2011 Game of the Century. LSU beat Alabama 9-6 in overtime on a Drew Alleman field goal.
