Tiger vs. Tide Primetime Clash Set for 6:30 PM
In Week 11, LSU will travel to Tuscaloosa to face Alabama under the lights at 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC. This marks the 14th meeting in primetime since 2011. The Tigers enter at 5–3, while No. 4 Alabama is 7–1. It’s also the debut for interim head coach Frank Wilson, who steps in after Brian Kelly’s dismissal. The SEC office confirmed the exact start time and network as part of its weekly schedule update.
In a shocking twist, LSU decided that firing a coach on Sunday night totally counts as “resting” for their open date, because nothing says “rejuvenation” like existential dread and free agency rumors. Fans can now enjoy watching their team on ABC, even if they’re still holding on to the fantasy that Coach Wilson is the next Nick Saban. Meanwhile, Alabama is quietly wondering if they can win the game without rolling out an offensive line made of titanium. Tune in at 6:30—because if LSU can’t figure out who’s calling plays, at least they’ll have the TV schedule locked down.
Top Tigers: Five Roster Gems LSU Can’t Let Slip
After parting ways with Brian Kelly, LSU faces a roster frenzy with transfer portals yawning wide. The Tigers identified five key players to retain for 2026: cornerback DJ Pickett, whose 6’5″ frame makes him a lockdown threat; tight end Trey’Dez Green, whose 6’7″ presence has tormented defenses; freshman running back Harlem Berry, who exploded in Week 9; linebacker and captain Whit Weeks, recovering from injury; and rising offensive lineman Carius Curne, the top prospect from Arkansas. LSU must navigate coaching changes to keep these stars from bolting.
LSU’s solution to a coaching car crash? Throw a retention list at the wall and hope the best five stick. It’s as if they’re trying to keep the band together after the lead singer got canned mid-tour. DJ Pickett might stick around if they promise to replace his secondary coach with a carbon copy of his mom. Trey’Dez Green is probably eyeing the portal like it’s a golden ticket… or at least a better offensive coordinator. Harlem Berry just wants a steady pipeline to the end zone, not a revolving door of play callers. And Carius Curne? He’s guarding more than quarterbacks—he’s guarding his sanity. Buckle up, Baton Rouge; free agency just got real.
