Alabama and LSU will end up getting a chance to play this season after all.
The game, which was originally scheduled for Nov. 14 but postponed due to LSU COVID-19 issues, is expected to be rescheduled for next Saturday (Dec. 5), sources have confirmed to AL.com.
The news was first reported by Yahoo Sports.
Alabama had been set to play Arkansas next week. That game is expected to be moved to Dec. 12. LSU, meanwhile, had been scheduled to play Ole Miss. That game is expected to be moved to Dec. 19.
