3 storylines for Alabama vs. LSU in massive Week 10 showdown

Alabama and LSU are set for a high-stakes Week 10 clash in Baton Rouge, with both teams ranked inside the top 15 nationally and needing a decisive win to strengthen their College Football Playoff resumes. The rivalry between the Crimson Tide and Tigers has long been a cornerstone of SEC football, and this matchup promises to deliver another classic.

Alabama’s offense, which struggled on the road against Tennessee with just 201 total yards and four turnovers, will face a formidable challenge at LSU’s stadium, where the Tigers’ defense ranks among the nation’s best in sacks and overall play. Meanwhile, Alabama’s defense—tied for the SEC lead in interceptions—will look to pressure LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt, who has already thrown eight picks this season, the most in the SEC.

The coaching battle also adds intrigue, as Alabama’s Kalen DeBoer seeks to extend his undefeated record against LSU (2-0) while Lane Kiffin, who has yet to defeat Alabama in five career meetings, aims to finally break the streak.
