LSU-Alabama: A Rivalry Showdown With Playoff Survival on the Line

Many people are disappointed that Saturday’s LSU-Alabama game will not be televised in prime time – for the first time in 16 years.

The streak of televised night games between the Tigers and the Crimson Tide began in 2011 – the so-called Game of the Century. That game was moved to prime time by CBS since the two teams were ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the country.

Every game since 2011 has been played at night until this Saturday when kickoff in Tiger Stadium is set for 2:30 p.
