We are now in one of the most important weeks for an Alabama football fan: LSU week.

Ed Orgeron of the Tigers told reporters that the Crimson Tide is the ‘biggest rival’ of LSU.

After losing by five (46-41) at Bryant-Denny Stadium with Tua Tagovailoa operating on one ankle, the Tide looks to return the favor on Saturday at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, La.

Mac Jones has had an incredible season for Alabama, and he looks to continue to push the team toward an opportunity to win a Southeastern Conference Championship and advance to the College Football Playoff.

As for the Tigers, it is trying to spoil the Tide’s fortune while looking to salvage its season.
