Alabama Crimson Tide Looks to Extend Dominance Over LSU Tigers
9 Nov
Summary
- Alabama holds a 57-27-5 lead in the LSU-Alabama rivalry
- LSU has only won twice against Alabama since 2012
- LSU head coach and athletic director recently dismissed after loss to Texas A&M
As the calendar turns to November, the highly anticipated LSU-Alabama rivalry is set to be reignited. The two teams have a long history, with their first meeting dating back to 1895, although the annual matchup didn't begin until the 1960s.
Over the years, Alabama has firmly established its dominance in the series, holding a commanding 57-27-5 lead in the head-to-head record. Since 2012, LSU has only managed to win twice against the Crimson Tide. This year, Alabama is ranked No. 4 in the college football rankings, thanks to a dominant 7-1 start to the season. In contrast, LSU (5-3) has slipped out of the top 25 after a substantial loss to the undefeated Texas A&M.
The recent dismissal of LSU head coach Brian Kelly and athletic director Scott Woodward has further complicated the Tigers' situation, casting doubt on their ability to pull off an upset against the powerhouse Crimson Tide. Whether Alabama will continue its hot streak or LSU will find a way to regain its footing remains to be seen.
