The No. 11 ranked Crimson Tide come into Saturday's matchup fresh off a bye week, which should give them the rest they need to reset and regain momentum heading into the most important part of the season.

The loser is assuredly out of the College Football Playoff race with a third loss barring a wild finish to the season. Will LSU’s defense be able to hold up against dual-threat Alabama QB Jalen Milroe?
