LSU football visits fourth-ranked Alabama tomorrow night. The Tigers’ offense and defense have been going against each other in inside run drills, which require more physicality from the linemen. Interim Head Coach Frank Wilson says he’s pleased with his team’s tenacity in practice this week.

Cut 16 (14) “…rewarding for us.”

Linebacker Whit Weeks is doubtful with a bone bruise, but offensive lineman Carrius Curne is expected to play after he was described as questionable earlier this week.

Former LSU football coach Brian Kelly has issued his first public statement since his firing. In a social media post, Kelly said the journey began with great expectations, but sometimes the journey does not end the way you hope. He says he’ll be cheering on the Tigers against the Crimson Tide.
