Football Preview: Alabama Takes On LSU, Auburn Welcomes Aggies, UAB Looks To Strengthen Its Position

By Solomon Crenshaw Jr.

Most people figure the college football season comes in two parts – the regular season and the postseason.

But Nick Saban sees it differently for his Crimson Tide, which not surprisingly claimed the top spot in the initial College Football Playoff poll of the season.

Alabama is 8-0 so far this year, topping the 50-point mark in six games. But, as the coach put it, the Tide is flipping the calendar and flipping the page to a new season, one that begins at 7 p.m. Saturday on CBS at LSU, the No. 3 team in the playoff ranking.

“Basically, we’re in a new season in terms of the teams we have to play,” Saban said.

“Especially the team that we play this week, who’s one of the best teams in the nation. I think they’re very elite in terms of the way they play defense. Their offense is really efficient and has done a great job this year.

“This team is really good all-around, so every part of our team is going to have to get challenged and is going to have to respond very well to the challenges in this game.”
