Nobody really wants to see that matchup again and if Alabama wins this game-they won’t. Alabama is coming off a 38-7 win over No. 17-ranked Mississippi State last week. LSU has had a tougher schedule as this is their fourth-straight game against a ranked team, starting with a loss at No. 8 Florida. Both teams have great defenses, but Alabama has the better quarterback in A.J. McCarron.
