BATON ROUGE — LSU football has reached its second and final off week of the 2024 regular season and will be extra rested for what will seemingly be a pseudo-College Football Playoff elimination game next weekend against rival nationally-ranked Alabama.
Why the game has turned into that is because both teams have two losses with No. 14 Alabama losing to Vanderbilt and Tennessee, while No. 16 LSU (6-2- 3-1 SEC) has losses to USC and most recently Texas A&M last weekend, 38-23.
