    LSU vs Alabama Deep Dive | LSU's Unthinkable X-Factor? | LSU MBB Opener

    When Lane Kiffin took the LSU job, he asked Jimmy Sexton where he could make a final stand and win championships, plural. The answer was a “fully aligned” LSU. Today that brand grew again: Dylan Jones has been added to LSU’s record-setting Nike Blue Ribbon NIL deal. We explain why no one deserves it more, from his numbers (about 24.5 touches and 120 yards per game) to his work ethic, film study and leadership. We also cover why elite running back play still wins championships, and give an update on LSU’s NIL and portal plans with Wade Rousse. Then we deep dive LSU vs Alabama. Bama’s receivers are explosive, but about 40% of Keelan Russell’s targets go to the tight ends and running backs, which gives Alabama a West Coast passing game. We break down why LSU should play man free high, why tight end Josh Pritchett is the player to track, Alabama’s running backs, and how LSU’s tackles match up with Bama’s edge rushers. We also cover why RPOs, quick throws and back-shoulder fades can use Alabama’s aggressiveness against it, Rocky III style, and why Winnie Watkins in the slot could be the unlikely X factor.

    LSU vs Alabama Preview | Do Or Die Mode: LSU & Alabama | Coaches Talk

    It’s Alabama week, and the tension is so high you could cut it with a butter knife. LSU and Alabama meet at 2:30 p.m. CT Saturday in Death Valley with both teams in do-or-die mode. We break down the Sunday narrative either way. If LSU wins, Lane Kiffin’s team is rolling into November. If it loses, it’s the $40 million roster that failed at home. For Alabama, a win nearly locks up a playoff spot, and a loss puts Kalen DeBoer on the hot seat. Plus, Ryan Grubb and Kane Wommack were chirpy this week, saying they can run on LSU and have a plan for Trey’Dez Green. Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. In our full preview, we explain why DeBoer coming off a bye could have Keelan Russell take two reads and run, and why LSU must stay disciplined and take away the run at all costs. We also cover how LSU’s offense can wear out a banged-up Bama defense with tempo and perimeter throws, why Jackson Harris vs. Dijon Lee is a big matchup, and why this game “feels too simple.” Plus, what to watch in Tuesday’s first College Football Playoff rankings and takeaways from LSU baseball’s fall scrimmage. 👍 Like, subscribe and turn on notifications.

    Will Wade Said Nothing.... Good! | Keys To Victory : LSU vs Alabama Part 1 | Jay Johnson & #AskBlake

    Will Wade took the high road. At his press conference, he refused to comment on RJ Luis because “they’re going to use my words against me.” We break down why that showed real maturity, whether LSU should roster Luis and risk a war with the SEC, and what going independent would really mean. Plus, big news: five-star point guard Reese Alston commits to LSU, joining King Gibson and Ahmad Hudson and pushing Will Wade’s 2027 class past UConn for No. 1 in the country. Then it’s bye week, which means LSU vs Alabama Keys to Victory, Part 1. This game will be won or lost by the six players in the interior of both lines. We cover pressuring Keelan Russell into mistakes, why Ty Benefield is the second-biggest X factor against Bama’s physical tight end room, why Lotzeir Brooks in the slot is the receiver who worries us most, and how LSU’s RPOs and Sam Leavitt’s legs can attack an undisciplined Alabama defense.

    RJ Luis & Lane Kiffin Fight Back | LSU Health vs Alabama Health | The Key Ingredient

    LSU is getting healthy at the right time. Matt Zenitz of 247Sports and CBS Sports reports that Whit Weeks has made good progress and could return as soon as the Alabama game. We break down what a healthy Whit Weeks means for LSU’s linebacker coverage against Bama’s dangerous tight end room. Plus, the LSU-SEC fight takes another turn. RJ Luis and his attorney Tony Clayton are pushing back against the SEC, and we explain why we think they’re setting up a lawsuit for damages and what the SEC’s back-channel messages to LSU were really about. Then it’s LSU health vs. Alabama health. Bama’s interior offensive line is banged up, and that plays right into the hands of LSU’s interior defensive line and pass rush against Keelan Russell. We also cover Lane Kiffin’s comments on the 2:30 kickoff, why the fans are LSU’s biggest X factor in Death Valley, and the key ingredients to beating Alabama: RPOs to Trey’Dez Green, double moves on Bama’s aggressive secondary, Sam Leavitt’s legs, and Ty Benefield’s job against the tight ends. 👍 Like, subscribe and turn on notifications.

    LSU vs SEC Is Set | Who Is Alabama & Who Is LSU? | What LSU Must Work On?

    A federal judge in Birmingham has set a court date of November 18 for LSU vs. the SEC. We explain why Greg Sankey could have dismissed this case and didn’t, why the federal ruling letting the 2022 class return to college should protect LSU, and why other schools and athletes who went to court were allowed to play with no pushback. Plus, what we’re hearing about the SEC reaching out through back channels to settle, and why the Big Ten and Tony Petitti keep winning every fight while Sankey bends the knee. Then we scout Alabama during the bye week. Kalen DeBoer’s defense is opportunistic and turnover-hungry, but it gives up big plays to RPOs, double moves and back-shoulder throws. We cover how Georgia and Tennessee exposed the Bama secondary, Kane Wommack’s tendencies, Alabama’s West Coast offense and dangerous tight end room, and why an offensive line that ranks 130th in sacks allowed gives LSU’s pass rush a shot at Keelan Russell. We also self-scout LSU, explain why if LSU loses, it beats itself, and lay out what the Tigers need to work on this week, starting with covering tight ends. 👍 Like, subscribe and turn on notifications.

    Can LSU Run November Table? | LSU vs Auburn Recap | Charlie Weis Jr. On Move? | SEC Gets Interesting

    After LSU’s dominant 38-17 win at Auburn, everyone in college football media is back on the Lane Kiffin and LSU train. Is it real? We explain why Sam Leavitt’s surge (14 TDs and 3 INTs over the last five games, plus 441 yards and 4 total touchdowns at Auburn) is about more than his hamstring. He’s figured out the offense, his reads and his weapons. We also break down why this LSU team still hasn’t hit its ceiling, how Blake Baker’s defense ranks among the best in the country, and how it shut down Marcel Reed, Trinidad Chambliss and Byrum Brown. Then we look ahead: why the bye week is its own opponent, LSU’s November playoff path through Alabama, Texas, Tennessee and Arkansas, the SEC games that could knock teams out of the playoff race, and why LSU can beat a banged-up Alabama team. Plus, the coaching carousel. Baylor fired Dave Aranda, and Charlie Weis Jr.’s name is popping up. Is Baylor the right fit for him? Kalshi: use promo code AYS for $25 in bonus credits. Must be 18+.

    LSU vs Auburn Postgame Show | Sam Leavitt & Jackson Harris Go Off | #AskBlake

    That’s how you go on the road and dominate an opponent. LSU finally snaps its two-year SEC road losing streak with a blowout win at Jordan-Hare, outgaining Auburn 552 to 271 and heading into the bye week at 6-2 with Alabama next. Sam Leavitt had a Heisman-level day with 400+ total yards and four touchdowns. Jackson Harris went off for 9 catches, 178 yards and 2 touchdowns, including the 70-yard backbreaker. Trey’Dez Green returned and made an impact as a blocker and in the red zone. On defense, LSU racked up seven sacks, held Byrum Brown to 19 carries for 21 yards, and shut down Auburn’s run game and receivers in man coverage, just like we laid out all week. We break down the whole game: Charlie Weis Jr. attacking Auburn’s boundary, the fourth-down call that sparked Leavitt, Dylan Jones’s culture drive before halftime, Jordan Ross and Chase Thomas on defense, and what still needs fixing, including the interior offensive line, punting and soft coverage on third down.

    Keys to Victory : LSU vs Auburn | What to Expect from Trey’Dez Green

    LSU and Auburn renew an old rivalry Saturday at Jordan-Hare. Here are the keys to victory for the Tigers to get their first road win in two years. Trey’Dez Green is back, but what should you expect? We break down why he’ll likely be on a pitch count of around 30 plays, and how even as a decoy he changes how Auburn’s aggressive safeties can play. Then we go through the keys: make Auburn’s receivers beat LSU in man coverage, stack the box against the power and counter runs Alex Golesh will keep calling, pressure Byrum Brown against an Auburn line that ranks 134th in sacks allowed, wear down a defense that ranks 133rd in time of possession, attack a unit that misses tackles in space, stop beating yourselves with turnovers, and finally score touchdowns in the red zone.
