The Arkansas State bus broke down in Holly Springs on its way to Tuscaloosa for tomorrow’s game against Alabama. Shredded belt, stranded for 2 hours before head coach Bryan Hodgson replaced the belt. Will miss practice today, but the team is back on the road and about two hours from Tuscaloosa. pic.twitter.com/1pDJaUa6eB

November 8, 1975: Coach Paul Bryant scored win No. 250 of his storied career as Alabama defeated a stubborn LSU team, coached by Bryant student Charlie McClendon, 23-10 at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge. With Alabama holding a 17–10 lead in the fourth quarter, linebacker Conley Duncan intercepted a Pat Lyons pass at the Crimson Tide goal line and returned it 67 yards to set up the second of three Bucky Berrey field goals. His 50-yard effort in the third quarter set an Alabama record. Willie Shelby and Richard Todd scored touchdowns.
November 8, 2008: Nick Saban returned to an emotionally charged Tiger Stadium for the first time since leaving LSU and led Alabama to a 27-21 victory in overtime. Safety Rashad Johnson tied a school record with three interceptions, and Julio Jones set up John Parker Wilson’s game-winning score by dragging his defender to the 1-yard line. In 2014, Alabama broke LSU’s hearts again on this date with a 20-13 OT victory. After an announcement was made asking fans to please not run onto the field, the defense lined up on the goal line, Blake Sims drove Alabama 55 yards in the final 50 seconds of regulation for a tying field goal and threw a touchdown of 6 meters. pass to DeAndrew White in overtime.
November 8, 1981: Alonzo Ephraim was born in Birmingham, Ala.
November 8, 1995: Rashaan Evans was both in Auburn, Ala.
“It really couldn’t be sweeter to get the win [SEC] West at Tiger Stadium. It really isn’t. My emotions for this place are positive, not negative. I didn’t leave LSU to go to Alabama. I left LSU to go to Miami. Myself and my family discovered that we didn’t like professional football as much as we liked studying. So we had the best chance to return to college football at the University of Alabama. There’s nothing personal in that for me.” – Nick Saban after Alabama defeated LSU in 2008
