Kiffin said fans should start their day earlier and help LSU top Tennessee’s 130.3-decibel college football noise record.
- On Monday, LSU head coach Lane Kiffin expressed frustration that Saturday's matchup against the Alabama Crimson Tide at Tiger Stadium is scheduled for a 2:30 p.m. kickoff rather than a night game.
- For 16 years, the rivalry game has been played at night, and Kiffin said, "I never even considered that it wouldn't be at night." His surprise underscores the historical precedent.

- The game remains critical for the 6-2 Tigers; Kiffin advised players to ignore Tuesday's College Football Playoff rankings and focus on winning to secure their postseason standing.
