No. No. 14 LSU (6-2, 3-1) welcomes the Alabama Crimson Tide for a Week 11 Southeastern Conference matchup at Tiger Stadium with significant postseason implications.

All eyes will be on the pair of rivals as they look to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive while avoiding a third loss this season.

Kickoff is scheduled for 6:49 PM CT with Chris Fowler (play-by-play), Kirk Herbstreit (analyst) and Holly Rowe (sideline reporter) on the call.

Here’s what Brian Kelly said about the matchup, pregame updates and a live thread from Saturday night at Tiger Stadium:

“The keys to success are quite obvious: taking care of the football. We will have to have a better balance offensively. Defensively, stopping the quarterback will be paramount… Probably as balanced a team as we’ll be playing this year, in terms of talent level across the board. There are no weaknesses in my eyes.”

– LSU WR CJ Daniels does active for Saturday night against the Alabama Crimson Tide. Daniels was previously listed as questionable before going through practice on Thursday. He will be active.

– LSU offensive lineman Garrett Dellinger is out for Saturday night against Alabama. The Tigers will start as a redshirt freshman Paul Mubenga instead of the seasoned veteran who will be out with an ankle injury.

– LSU will go with the trio of Kyren Lacy, Aaron Anderson and CJ Daniels as the starting wideouts alongside tight end Mason Taylor. Chris Hilton, Trey’Dez Green and Javen Nicholas will rotate.

– Zy Alexander and Ashton Stamps earn the starts at cornerback, while Sage Ryan and Jardin Gilbert take the starting safety spots. Major Burns at STAR.

– The LSU offensive line starters: LT Will Campbell, LG Paul Mubenga, C DJ Chester, RG Miles Frazier and RT Emery Jones.
