The Alabama Crimson Tide enter as 2.5 point favorites heading into next Saturday's matchup in Tiger Stadium.

An SEC showdown that will have all eyes tuned in, it's important to note that Brian Kelly is yet to drop a prime time matchup in Baton Rouge during his tenure. It's been a key point over the last few days with it coming to light once again with LSU as the early underdogs.

Heading into game preparation against the Crimson Tide, LSU will focus on developing a consistent defensive game plan for dual-threat quarterback Jalen Milroe while sharpening both the offense and special teams unit.

“We need to be really good at a few things, and that’s what we do, and let’s get really good at it. We’ve got the bye week. We’ll clean some things up. We’ve got a good football team. Tonight was a bad half of football for us. And we’ll go back to work on ourselves, and we’ll get ourselves ready to play better football," Kelly said after the loss at Texas A&M.

It will be about playing complementary football for all four quarters next weekend in Tiger Stadium against a fiery Alabama squad coming off of a 34-0 victory over Missouri.

“We talked about finishing games, then we went to work on some of the things we believe we need to get better at on both sides of the ball,” Kelly said on Tuesday. “It’s a little bit of good, a little bit of things you need to work on, and then let’s get some of the young guys some work. We had a scrimmage with the young guys, so that was the focus today.”

No. 16 LSU will return to game action on Nov. 9 against the Alabama Crimson Tide with kickoff slated for 6:30 p.m. CT in Tiger Stadium.
