No. 4 LSU, No. 7 Alabama meet in SEC West

The SEC landed six teams throughout the first batch of College Football Playoff rankings cooked up this week.

The Alabama Crimson Tide look for their fourth victory over a ranked team this season. It’s possible and would be a fascinating scenario to see play out. The Crimson Tide do have a strong resume, with wins over No. 19 Texas A&M, and both Wisconsin and Georgia were ranked when they lost to Alabama earlier this year.

When Ole Miss and Arkansas line up to play ball on Saturday, it will be the Rebels’ 10th straight game.

Beckham, the Giants star receiver who played three years at LSU while compiling 2,340 yards and 12 touchdowns, posted an Instagram picture of his own in response to the Alabama signage.

Jacob Coker has been serviceable at quarterback for Alabama, but he has also been turnover prone.

With each mention of Leonard Fournette’s name, with each question he was tasked with answering about LSU’s Heisman Trophy frontrunner, a small vein in Jonathan Allen’s forehead bulged just a little more.

LSU has exceeded all expectations for this season, including an undefeated record, highlighted by wins over Mississippi State and Florida. “For us, we’ve got to be more consistent as an offense, and it starts with the offensive line”, Center Ryan Kelly said. So pay close attention to special teams, where both of these teams have struggled”, he said, adding, “If the defenses play well and the game is played between the 30s and not the red zone, that could come into play. Oh yes, Mr. Henry will wake up Sunday morning or at least find himself walking to class on Monday as the new favorite for college football’s greatest award.

Fournette has garnered more attention this season, partly because of his handful of touchdown runs longer than 40 yards – one as long as 87. “It’s going to be a tough, physical game, and we’ve got to try and take whatever they give us and keep mistakes to a minimum”.

The Tigers, seemingly left for dead, stormed back behind Harris – not Fournette – to tie the game 10-10 late in the second quarter. The two conference powerhouses are set for the biggest game of the season when the Tigers visit the Crimson Tide Saturday night in Tuscaloosa.

Four plays later, Henry plowed in from the 1 for his second score of the game.

Harris has been far more productive passing since managing 80 yards or fewer in three of the first four games. Not much! One thing is for sure, if LSU wants to reach the postseason, they will have to do something they haven’t done since 2011 – beat Bama.

Quarterback Brandon Harris has not thrown an interception and the Tigers average 466 yards per game.

Now they have one more game before their bye week, and, man, it’s an important one. Tennessee knows it must do a better job of slowing down Cooper this season and has one of the SEC’s top cornerbacks in Sutton, who figures to be covering him at least part of the game.
