How to Watch Rescheduled Alabama Crimson Tide at LSU Tigers, TV Time, SEC Schedule

Even though the Tigers have been struggling during the 2020 season, it's still Alabama and LSU in Death Valley, where the Crimson Tide hasn't lost in 10 years

Let's try this again ... 

For the first time since Nick Saban arrived in 2007, the following statistic will come into play when Alabama faces LSU:

The Crimson Tide has defeated 96 consecutive unranked teams, the longest streak in FBS history.

Every time the teams have played during that span, both have been ranked until now. Coming off a loss at Texas A&M, the reigning national champions are 3-4. 

Meanwhile, Alabama is 8-0 and eyeing its return to the SEC Championship Game and College Football Playoff. It obviously can't afford to stumble, and LSU is always a tough, benchmark game.

Seven of the 13 "Saban Bowls," as some like to call it as he won a national title at LSU previous to his five with Alabama, have been decided by a touchdown or less, with three going into overtime.

Among them:

• Alabama snapped a five-game series skid with the 27-21 overtime win in Baton Rouge in 2008.

• In 2011, the Tide fell to the Tigers 9-6 in overtime in the regular-season contest before meeting for the BCS National Championship, where Alabama came out on top in New Orleans, 21-0.

• Alabama produced one of the more memorable victories with a come-from-behind 21-17 victory at Tiger Stadium in 2012, as AJ McCarron found T.J. Yeldon on a screen pass for a 28-yard touchdown with 51 seconds remaining.

• In 2014, a stunning last-minute drive in the fourth quarter by Blake Sims produced a game-tying field goal to send the 2014 matchup into overtime. Sims found DeAndrew White in the corner of the end zone for the game-winning touchdown.

• During the 2016 matchup, Jalen Hurts engineered two fourth-quarter scoring drives to break open a scoreless tie as No. 1-ranked Alabama downed the Tigers 10-0 at Tiger Stadium.

• The last time the teams played in Baton Rouge, in 2018, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and the Crimson Tide shutout the Tigers 29-0.

Alabama hasn't lost in "Death Valley" in 10 years.
