Aside from a 37-yard run by Harlem Berry in the first half, Alabama's defense was dominant. LSU's offense sputtered so badly that interim coach Frank Wilson benched veteran starter Garrett Nussmeier for sophomore Michael Van Buren Jr. in the second half. Van Buren provided a brief spark, but the Tigers (5-4, 2-4 SEC) managed just 232 total yards.

No. 4 Alabama football aims to score a third consecutive victory over LSU. The Tigers have not defeated the Crimson Tide since 2022, a game in Baton Rouge. LSU’s last win at Bryant-Denny Stadium occurred in 2019 when Joe Burrow was the quarterback and Ed Orgeron was the head coach.

Then-ranked No. 2 Alabama beat the Gamecocks 47-23 on Sept. 14, 2019 on a 444-yard and five-touchdown day by quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who helped DeVonta Smith and Henry Ruggs III to 100-yard performances.
