Game-day research
Tide at Tigers preview: what our research says
Alabama enters the trip at 6-2, with a 4-1 home record and a 2-1 road record, and is ranked No. 9 this week. The Tide scored 56 points at Mississippi State and 49 against South Carolina. They lost 17-20 to Georgia and 10-26 at Tennessee, then returned from a bye with a 31-20 win over Texas A&M.
Keelon Russell remains the projected starting quarterback, with Austin Mack listed behind him. Russell threw for 311 yards and three touchdowns against Texas A&M. Daniel Hill is projected at running back, while Lotzeir Brooks, Rico Scott and Derek Meadows are listed among the starting receivers. Alabama’s offense has also been working through slow starts, and its Knoxville performance included 201 yards and four turnovers.
The injury report changes the projected offensive line. Delgatty is probable after missing time, while Sanders remains questionable following ankle surgery; Mal Waldrep has filled in at center and could move to guard if Sanders is unavailable. Coleman-Williams and Terrance Green are also probable, while Brown and Crowell remain questionable. The LSU game therefore follows a week of improvement in Alabama’s reported availability, but several players’ final status remains unsettled.
The projected defense lists Devan Thompkins, Kedrick Bingley-Jones and London Simmons up front, with Caleb Woodson at middle linebacker. LSU’s listed offense features quarterback Sam Leavitt, running back Dilin Jones and receiver Eugene Wilson III. Alabama’s last two losses were followed by its Texas A&M win; this is the Tide’s next road game.
Season at time of writing
Alabama is 6-2, with a 4-1 home record and a 2-1 road record. The Tide are ranked No. 9 this week. They have posted wins such as 56-23 at Mississippi State and 49-18 over South Carolina, but lost 10-26 at Tennessee and 17-20 to Georgia before beating Texas A&M 31-20.
The news
Russell Leads the Offense
Keelon Russell is listed as Alabama’s starting quarterback, with Austin Mack second on the depth chart. Russell threw for 311 yards and three touchdowns in the latest win over Texas A&M.
Returning Starters, Flexible Line
Ryan Coleman-Williams, Racin Delgatty and Terrance Green are probable after missing time. Mal Waldrep has filled in at center, and could shift to left guard if Sanders cannot play.
Offensive Line Still in Flux
Alabama’s projected chart lists Sanders at left guard, while the latest report keeps him questionable. The projected lineup also puts Delgatty at center, with Russell and Daniel Hill leading the offense.
