The second-ranked football team returned to the field on Monday with a two-hour practice in shells at the Thompson-Drew Practice Fields as it began preparations for Saturday’s game against No. 1 LSU. Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. CT in Bryant-Denny Stadium with game airing on CBS.

LSU Game week arrives
TUSCALOOSA – OK, so the wait isn’t quite over. But with bye weeks for both the University of Alabama and LSU now squarely in the rear-view mirror, the most anticipated game in college football this season is in full focus for both UA coach Nick Saban and Tigers coach Les Miles. Both coaches spent the bye week focusing less on each other, and more on team improvement. “We’re certainly happy to get back into a regular work routine,” said Saban. Said wide receiver Marquis Maze: “I’m glad (this week) is here; get back to football. A break was fine for the body, but it’s time to get back to business.” How big is this game?
