Alabama at LSU: Live updates, score, highlights
One of the biggest games in college football this week has arrived, with No. 11 Alabama (6-2, 3-2 SEC) set to take on No. 15 LSU (6-2, 3-1) under the lights in Death Valley. It’s a game that will carry massive College Football Playoff implications.
Both teams already have two losses on the season, so this is essentially an elimination game of sorts. Both teams are coming off a bye week, but Alabama’s last time out was a win, while LSU’s was a loss.
Can the Tigers bounce back and rally behind the home crowd to tame the Tide? We shall see. Live updates below throughout the game, with kickoff slated for 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
FUN FACT: Jalen Milroe catches Jalen Hurts

With his 39-yard touchdown run earlier in the game, Jalen Milroe scored his 13th rushing touchdown of the season. That matched Jalen Hurts for the most by an Alabama quarterback in a single campaign. And Milroe still has a few games to add to the tally…
The rain is intensifying at Tiger Stadium

There’s been a light drizzle for much of the game so far, but the skies have opened up in Baton Rouge as the second quarter gets set to begin. We’ll see if it impacts either team’s ability to throw the ball… or hold onto it.
END OF 1ST QUARTER: LSU trying to answer
11/09/2024 07:30:14 PM
LSU hasn’t had much offensively outside of Caden Durham, with quarterback Garrett Nussmeier starting off 0-of-3 passing. He finally completes a short one for a first down, though, and LSU will have the ball at its own 35-yard line looking to put something together as the first quarter concludes. At the very least, stringing together a couple first downs here is a must.
SCORE ALERT: Alabama 14 – 3 LSU, 1:56 1Q

So far it doesn’t look like there will be a whole lot of defense in this one, as Alabama marches right down the field and scores again. One thing that is standing out so far is that the Crimson Tide are 4-for-4 on third down. Only one of them has been longer than third-and-5. If LSU can’t have a bit more success on early downs it’s going to be a long night in Death Valley.
SCORE ALERT: Alabama 7 – 3 LSU, 9:00 1Q
11/09/2024 07:06:12 PM
LSU gets a big kick return out to the 50-yard line to set up its first drive of the game. Two plays later, running back Caden Durham breaks out a 45-yard run off the right side to put the Tigers into the low red zone. But the Crimson Tide defense stiffens up and forces a 23-yard field goal from Damian Ramos. A nice answer from LSU but a better defensive stand in the red zone from Alabama.
SCORE ALERT: Alabama 7 – 0 LSU, 10:49 1Q

Alabama puts together a methodical opening scoring drive, capped by a bit of brilliance by quarterback Jalen Milroe. And the drive started with a penalty induced by the crowd, too. Well, a 39-yard touchdown run by Milroe is certainly one way to turn down the noise. Milroe went 3-of-3 passing for 38 yards on the drive before capping it with his scoring run. And off we go…
LSU WR CJ Daniels listed as probable
11/09/2024 05:47:58 PM
All signs point to LSU receiver CJ Daniels playing in Saturday’s game against Alabama. Daniels has been dealing with an injury for the past month but has managed to play the past two games. He was listed questionable on the injury report Wednesday and Thursday before being upgraded to probable on Friday. With the final injury report being released a little more than an hour before kickoff, he is still listed as probable.
Daniels has 29 catches for 342 yards so far this season.
