BATON ROUGE – LSU will face Alabama in a highly anticipated match-up with a 6:45 p.m. kick on November 4 in Tuscaloosa and will be televised on CBS.

The potential showdown for the SEC West will match-up two of the premiere teams in college football with both teams still searching for answers on different sides of the ball.

LSU's high powered offense will be a challenge for an Alabama team that has struggled to find it's footing this year both on offense and defense.

Both LSU and Alabama have open dates this week, the Tigers are coming off a 62-0 win over Army and stands at 6-2 overall and 4-1 in conference play, while Alabama improved to 7-1 overall and 5-0 in conference action following its 34-20 victory over Tennessee.

LSU, behind the play of Heisman Trophy candidate Jayden Daniels, is ranked No. 15 in both polls, while Alabama is No. 8 in the Coaches poll and No. 9 in the AP poll. Last year, LSU beat the Crimson Tide, 32-31, in overtime in Tiger Stadium.

LSU and Alabama last played in a CBS prime time game in 2020 in Tuscaloosa. The LSU-Alabama contest has been featured in prime time on CBS nine times since the Tigers won the classic 9-6 overtime thriller in Bryant-Denny Stadium in 2011.
