Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide have moved their way up into the No. 1 spot in the nation, despite not playing last week. A Clemson loss dropped them down, and moved everyone else up. Though, now they will look to secure a win against LSU to imrpove to 7-0 and remain the only undefeated team in the SEC.
Unfortunately, news broke of a minor outbreak within the LSU program, seeing fouring players test positive for the coronavirus, which now puts the game at risk for being canceled or postponed.
Fans are hoping to see these two teams face off, and have taken to Twitter to voice their thoughts:
😖: LSU can’t play the tide because they caught covid
🧐: LSU purposefully caught covid to dodge the tide
😝: CBS infected LSU with covid to protect that masters time slot— Cameron Luke Ratliff (@fluffopotamus88) November 9, 2020
Could this all be a ploy to keep football off and golf on TV? Likely not, but that won’t stop some fans from thinking it.
..LSU if yall scared just say that‼️

If they can’t hide, can they run?
BREAKING: LSU is dealing with some Covid issues which could possibly threaten the Bama-LSU game on November 14.
Translation: LSU doesn’t want to get their ass kicked.

A common trend is becoming more apparent.
#LSU’s outbreak stems from fear of a severe #Bama beat down on home turf ! #ThisIsOurHouse https://t.co/MvjO7qnqvW

The last time Alabama played a night game in Baton Rouge, things did not end well for the Tigers.

Well, this is… creative.
We should cancel the game, just so I can spend next spring saying "It's been 2 years since Bama last beat LSU." with absolutely zero context

Wait a minute.
LSU fans praying they cancel the game
