Alabama's left guard and center are questionable for Saturday's game at LSU
The Tuscaloosa Today team
If you're watching No. 5 Alabama at LSU on Saturday, keep an eye on the offensive line. The SEC's initial availability report, posted Wednesday night, listed left guard William Sanders and center Racin Delgatty as questionable. Sanders had a TightRope procedure on his right ankle after the Texas A&M game. Delgatty has missed the last two games, against Tennessee and Texas A&M.
The timing is tough. LSU's defense is ranked No. 2 nationally.
LSU's defense brings pressure to Baton Rouge
- No. 2
- national ranking for LSU's defense
- 34
- sacks by LSU this season
- 13.5
- sacks combined by Jordan Ross and Princewill Umanmielen

- Kickoff: Saturday, Nov. 7, 2:30 p.m. CT on ABC in Baton Rouge
- Alabama doubtful: quarterback Jett Thomalla
- Last annual Alabama-LSU game under the SEC's new scheduling format
- Only one three-loss team has made the playoff field: Alabama in 2025
Both teams are 6-2, and the loser would have three losses. Alabama expects to have Delgatty back, according to coach Kalen DeBoer earlier this week. If Sanders can't play, Mal Waldrep Jr., who filled in at center against Tennessee and Texas A&M, would fill in for him.
