00:00Welcome to Saturday night in Death Valley. It's number 11,

00:07Alabama. It's number 14 LSU. It's a top fifteen tilt in

00:12Death Valley under the lights at night. We know how difficult

00:16a venue is that is for the opposition inside Tiger

00:20Stadium and Mark. This is your de facto elimination game. Both

00:25of these teams already multiple losses this season in

00:29Alabama is a two and a half point road favorite in Baton

00:33Rouge. We did see LSU as a slight home underdog previously

00:38this year against Ole Miss win that game outright. It is a

00:42de facto elimination game. So who keeps their season afloat

00:47after Saturday night? The LSU Tigers. I mean it's a Saturday

00:52night in Baton Rouge. What could go wrong down in Death

00:55Valley for the Alabama Crimson Tide of all things. I mean you

00:58also have LSU coming off a loss last time out to Texas

01:02A&M. So they probably are a little bit hungry for a win

01:05here and need it. I don't 100% know that this is an

01:08elimination game. It feels like it, but there's still a path

01:11for both of these teams. The loser of this to actually still

01:14get in the college football playoff when it's all said and

01:16done. We've seen the committee do quirkier things to say the

01:20least at certain times, but I don't know that Alabama without

01:23a run game to speak of without any level of consistency is

01:27going to be able to handle LSU. These are the spots here

01:30where I kind of trust Brian Kelly as a game caller and a

01:34play caller more than I would Kaelin DeBoer at this point in

01:37time, and we've seen Alabama struggle offensively. So

01:40there's a lot going up against and the last time Nick Saban

01:43went down here two years ago didn't work out well for the

01:46Tide then. I don't think it works out well for the Tide

01:48now.
