Alabama and LSU will meet for the 81st time in a series that the Crimson Tide leads, 50-25-5, dating back to the 1895 season. Since 2005, the LSU-Alabama games have been tight battles, with seven of those games being decided by seven points or less. During head coach Nick Saban’s tenure in Tuscaloosa, six of the 10 duels between the two teams have been decided by that same narrow margin, with three of those games going into overtime. In last year’s meeting, Derrick Henry rushed for three touchdowns and the Tide defense limited LSU to 182 yards in a 30-16 win in Tuscaloosa.
