Why LSU has to make history to beat Alabama in the 'Game of the century'
LSU tops the Associated Press Top 25 poll and was listed ahead of Alabama in the first College Football Playoff ranking of the season but will need to make history to win on the road against the Crimson Tide on Saturday.since Nick Saban took charge of the Crimson Tide in 2007.After finishing 7-6 in his debut season—then reduced to 2-6 as Alabama had to vacate five wins due to sanctions stemming from textbook-related infractions—Saban has transformed Bryant-Denny Stadium into a fortress.
As will be the case on Saturday, LSU arrived into the latest instalment of the"Game of the Century" as theSaban didn't place much emphasis on rankings then and operates by the same philosophy now, something he shares with his LSU counterpart, Ed Orgeron. "It's the biggest game on our schedule but there'll be bigger games down the road for us," he was quoted as saying byJoe Burrow #9 of the LSU Tigers in action against the Auburn Tigers at Tiger Stadium on October 26 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.A year before the loss to LSU, Cam Newton inspired Auburn to win a memorable comeback, as the Tigers wiped out a 24-7 deficit at halftime to win 28-27.
In the intervening four years, the Crimson Tide has won 31 straight games at home—the longest home winning run in the nation—and nobody has come to within three touchdown of Alabama in Tuscaloosa since LSU lost 24-10 two years ago.since the College Football Playoff was introduced in 2014.
