00:00You know, Bill, a reminder of the days when Nick Saban was coaching, maybe we could throw

00:09you know, less miles in there.

00:10I mean, I can't even remember who the head coach of LSU was, to be honest, but it was

00:14it was this game every year, number one versus number two for about three, four years.

00:19It was a game that usually ended like 14, 13, something along those lines.

00:24But this is the first time in, I would say, four or five, six years where it feels like

00:29both of these teams are really good.

00:30We're going to get a lot of points in this game.

00:33But I would ask you, Bill, is there any tougher place to play than LSU on a late Saturday,

00:38Saturday night?

00:39This seems to be a tough, tough task for Alabama.

00:41I know they're favored in the game, but always tough.

00:43This is the game that's defined college football really since the BCS era.

00:47It played in championship games, top 10 showdowns.

00:50You said it, the Saban-Miles rivalry, the Saban and Ed O had that game five years ago

00:56in 2019 with about half the NFL on the field.

01:01So the key for Alabama is here is how do you handle that chaos of playing at Tiger Stadium

01:05at night where we all know it's going to be recited all day that Brian Kelly's 13-0 at

01:10night at Tiger Stadium?

01:11I get that.

01:12The weapon against them is Jalen Millrow.

01:15Four rushing touchdowns in this game last year.

01:18Alabama's seven and one the last two seasons when he has 50 or more rushing yards.

01:22If he gets going on the ground and they get behind that, that's how you take the crowd

01:26out of the game.

01:27You run the ball, long sustained drives, you don't turn the ball over, and their defenses

01:32created 10 turnovers in the last three weeks.

01:34So Craig, I guess this is my way of telling you I'm going against the trend.

01:38I think Alabama finds a way to win on the road.

01:41Going to be a tight one though, and maybe a classic like those old Les Miles-Nick Saban

01:45games, probably by three points.
