SUMMARY: In a critical playoff elimination game at Tiger Stadium, Alabama dominated LSU, showcasing their status as national championship contenders. LSU’s offense struggled, scoring only 13 points, while Alabama’s Jalen Milroe ran for 185 yards and four touchdowns, highlighting LSU’s defensive shortcomings against mobile quarterbacks. Despite a well-planned game strategy, the LSU players failed to execute effectively. The team’s disappointment stems from not meeting the high standards expected of LSU football, especially after being outscored 73 to 19 in recent games. LSU will next face Florida in Gainesville, as they seek to regroup and improve their performance.

SUMMARY: Happy Saturday! A sticky and humid morning is underway with cloudy skies and temperatures in the 70s, expecting to rise into the 80s this weekend. Rain is likely, especially on Sunday with scattered showers, while Baton Rouge faces the highest chance for storms. Tropical Storm Rafael, weakening nearby, won’t impact the area, but will contribute to tropical moisture this weekend. Be prepared for a weather alert on Sunday with heavy rain, potential coastal flooding, and breezy conditions (10-15 mph winds). By later next week, a weak cold front could bring cooler, less humid weather. Stay dry and enjoy your weekend!

WWL Louisiana Meteorologist Alexa Trischler says a Weather Impact Alert has been issued for Sunday as Rafael hangs around in Gulf of Mexico.
