Nick Saban to LSU? The legend’s name is buzzing again, but age, NIL fatigue and college football’s evolution make his return more fantasy than solution.
LSU-Alabama defined an era in college football. From Saban vs. Miles to Burrow vs. Tua, the rivalry’s history, heroes and fading spotlight still captivate Baton Rouge.
Battle for the Boot kicks off at 11:45 a.m. Nov. 15. Both LSU and Arkansas enter with interim coaches after firings, setting the stage for a high-stakes rivalry clash.
Alabama rebounded from a brutal Week 1 loss to Florida State with seven straight wins and now looks like a College Football Playoff contender behind Ty Simpson’s efficient offense and a stingy defense.
LSU begins its basketball season on Wednesday night. Look for Dedan Thomas to pace the Tigers from the point. The wings should be better shooter, and LSU finally has some size in the middle.
LSU still has something to play for. Mansoor Delane could add to LSU’s trophy case, and Garrett Nussmeier is climbing the passing list. Plus, the offense should feature the run.
LSU officials clarified taxpayers won’t pay Brian Kelly’s $53M buyout, countering Gov. Jeff Landry’s claims that the state was liable for the former coach’s contract.
