LSU, playing its first game under interim coach Frank Wilson after Brian Kelly’s firing, is trading early blows with No. 4 Alabama inside Bryant-Denny Stadium. The Tigers’ defense stuffed a fourth down, forced a punt and held Bama to a 45-yard field goal after a fumble, while Garrett Nussmeier opened 8-for-8 amid a sputtering run game. After a missed chip shot, LSU later settled for a tying field goal to make it 3-3, eschewing a fourth-and-2 try. Alabama’s rushing push has lagged early as the rivalry simmers against a backdrop of campus upheaval.
