Alabama might have secured a much-needed victory against South Carolina in week 7 of the dynamic college football season. But they are the losers in disguise. A two-point victory over the gamecocks was far from a satisfactory call, leading to an ousting from the playoff battle list. While you might argue that Bama will use the blow as a wake-up call and avoid doing the same going onwards, you should check in on LSU’s veiled momentum that popular College football analyst Greg McElroy tried to shed light on.

Kalen DeBoer and the team, however, refused to set the bar high, gearing up for Tennessee in Week 8. They also have LSU, Oklahoma, and Mississippi to butt heads, and one of these dominant opponents, LSU, is shaping up to be as formidable as it should be. Addressing the future, Greg McElroy, on his ESPN College football podcast, noted, ”Football is in front of them and they are going to be a real problem a real problem for a bunch at A&M Bama comes to them maybe LSU. somehow back doors their way into the SEC Championship. I think LSU’s best football’s coming up, but they better be careful.”

And the No. 13 Tigers showed just how smooth they can be at catching up in a wild, especially after turning 29-26 overtime victory against No. 9 Ole Miss on Saturday in Tiger Stadium. But LSU is anything but to be overlooked. The Crimson Tide locker room would be wise to recapitulate their loopholes laid bare in this season so far before lacing up the shoes against an apparent underdog.

LSU might be a concern for Alabama in the remainder season scorecard

Alabama had a brief story coming to LSU. The team that held them off with a 32-31 overtime defeat in 2022. It largely kept the Bama out of the SEO championship picture. As they are going to meet up again in 2024, the game calls for sheer attention and good thorough research from the keen fans.

LSU has a 2-3 win-loss against the Tide. The 2024 LSU Tigers roster looks like a talent pile. As per the typical Brian Kelly team rule, the perimeter defenders will be on the watch. However, LSU’s defensive line might be a concern even if it’s been tested multiple times. The overall speed and dynamic collective pressure are likely to be a pain in the neck for

Kalen DeBoer’s career-saving season at Alabama.
