Previous Alabama offensive lineman wants Nick Saban to balance 70 points on LSU

On Saturday night, another section in the competition among Alabama and LSU will be composed. After a year ago’s success by the Tigers and their postgame festivity, one Crimson Tide alum needs Alabama to hang a major number on the scoreboard.

Preceding this current end of the week’s down between the two SEC West enemies, a video of LSU’s festival after a year ago’s 46-41 success in Tuscaloosa has been getting out and about. In the clasp, Tigers lead trainer Ed Orgeron has his group “break it down” at midfield in Bryant-Denny Stadium. That is something that previous Alabama offensive lineman Cam Robinson didn’t take generous as well.

Robinson found the video via online media, and he approached Alabama lead trainer Nick Saban to forego sportsmanship this year and let hostile facilitator Steve Sarkisian score the same number of points as he can against LSU in Tiger Stadium.

“I know Coach Saban likes to keep it classy but I hope he gives Sark tha green light to score 70!!!” Robinson tweeted on Friday.

Robinson came to Alabama as an individual from the Tide’s 2014 marking class, and he promptly turned into an imperative piece of the group’s hostile line. He was an agreement All-American in 2016, and he assisted Alabama with winning a public title in 2015. The Jacksonville Jaguars drafted him with the No. 34 generally pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, and he turned into a starter in all out attack mode line immediately.

The truth will surface eventually if Saban and the Crimson Tide can satisfy Robinson’s solicitation. Truth be told, this will be Saban’s first game back on the sideline subsequent to missing the Iron Bowl a week ago because of his COVID-19 finding. The Alabama lead trainer said that he’s inclination acceptable in the wake of segregating for the necessary measure of time.

“I’ll be there,” Saban said. “I’m good. I think my time is up, so I’m ready to get back in the swing of things, even though I’ve been there for every possible thing, it’s just been a little bit different. But now I can get back in person and do all the things we need to do without an issue or problem. The medical staff makes all those decisions based on the CDC timetables and all that. I’m cleared tomorrow to travel with the team.”

At this moment, the Vegas oddsmakers do figure Alabama could get some payback with the spread sitting at – 29 for the Crimson Tide, as per William Hill Sportsbook. Still there’s an explanation they play the games.

LSU and Alabama are set to commence at 8:00 p.m. ET on Saturday night.
