Kiffin Tells LSU Fans to Get to Bed Early for Alabama Game

LSU coach Lane Kiffin is urging fans to bring a night-game atmosphere to Saturday’s 2:30 p.m. matchup with Alabama, shifting their usual game-day routines earlier and making Tiger Stadium as loud as possible. He joked that Baton Rouge should shut down Friday night so fans can get to bed early. Kiffin pointed to Tennessee’s recent afternoon win over Alabama, where the crowd set a reported college-football noise record near 130 decibels, as evidence that an early kickoff need not blunt a home crowd’s impact. LSU has won 16 of its last 17 home games with 2:30 p.m. kickoffs, and the Tigers’ game against Alabama carries significant College Football Playoff implications for both two-loss teams.
