A rare night game for Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson on CBS. The Tigers like to play their big games at night, and it doesn't get much bigger than this. Alabama is going for its 21st win in a row, and its sixth straight win over LSU. The Tiger faithful have done their part, and they are here in big numbers. Verne tells us that "this has been the most intense rivalry in the SEC in the last 10 years," and I think he's right.
Over 102,000 folks in Tiger Stadium, which was recently expanded.
Uniform watch: no need -- both teams wearing their traditional uniforms, with the Tigers wearing white at home (as usual).
71 degrees and 52 percent humidity -- doesn't get much better than that.
11th consecutive meetings with both teams left.
LSU won the toss and deferred to the second half, so they kick off to the Tide. Alabama's receiver is hammered on the return, and the Tide will start from its own 14.
