All eyes will be on the No. 14 ranked LSU Tigers facing off against Alabama on Saturday night in Death Valley with significant postseason implications on the line.

The matchup has already been dubbed a "Playoff Eliminator" with both programs looking to remain alive in the College Football Playoff race.

For Brian Kelly and the Bayou Bengals, it'll be about playing complementary football for all four quarters in order to walk out of Tiger Stadium with a victory.

"For us it's been about the consistency of our play. We clearly know our identity in terms of how we need to play. Taking care of the football, being good against the rush, being balanced on offense," Kelly said on Thursday. "We know what those winning ingredients are, whether it's night time or day time. It's really been about doubling down on our process and that our guys clearly understand that focus needs to show itself when it's time to perform.

"We've done it at times for a few quarters. Sometimes we've started slow and had to play great in the second half, sometimes we start fast and don't play well in the second half. This has gotta be four quarters of consistent play and if we do that, we're gonna put ourselves in great positions to have the outcomes that we want. That is the challenge in front of us."
