Despite an ankle injury to Tua Tagovailoa, he and Joe Burrow gave college football an instant classic. Both teams battled, but the Tigers emerged with a 46-41 victory in Tuscaloosa.
After the matchup, Coach Orgeron decided to have some extracurricular fun in the middle of BDS. He had the team break down its celebration at midfield, declaring the venue as “our house from now on.”

LSU would win the national championship in 2019, but things are different now. Alabama drubbed Coach O last year at Tiger Stadium, to the tune of 55-17. DeVonta Smith gave the Tide its third Heisman Trophy winner, and Alabama had an undefeated national championship season. Since the loss at home, the Tide has wanted another shot at revenge against the Tigers.
Nick Saban and his student-athletes will get the opportunity on Saturday via ESPN at 6:00 p.m.
