The LSU Tigers made it past the bye week and now have one of the season's biggest games on the way Saturday as the Alabama Crimson Tide for an afternoon kickoff.

Every game from here on out is essentially a playoff game for the Tigers. They are right in the mix at No. 14, but two SEC losses will push them out of that conversation. LSU also doesn't really have an "impressive" win this year, and this will be an opportunity to show that they can beat a good team.

This will also be a chance for Blake Baker's defense to shut down a talented quarterback. They did well against Marcel Reed, but he had been off all season. Both Trinidad Chambliss and Kenny Minchey tore them apart. Keelon Russell is capable of that and more.

It's not the same as a night game, but it should still be a very fun matchup. Here's how to catch the action:
