If LSU ducks the game again the negative PR they'd get from it would likely outweigh what they'd get from the most brutal arse kicking imaginable. I don't see what's in it for them at this point.
Lol
First of all, it didn't say shite about it being from LSU.
Second of all, there are major games getting canceled at all levels of football. In the SEC, there is literally a scholarship player availability requirement. If a team can't hit that, they aren't allowed to play.
I feel like these things are too hard to grasp for Alabama folks, so I'll simplify.

They can play if they're under the 53. But, no team is going to play if they don't have a single player at multiple position groups.

wrong answer
"The impacted institution has the option to play the game with fewer than the 53 scholarship players or fewer than the minimum number of position players listed above if it elects to do so."
Kentucky played Alabama with less than 53 scholarship players.
It would be very telling if LSU were to be affected so bad with covid twice before a scheduled game vs Alabama

Bullshite!!!!! The rule states that IF a school falls below the 53 scholarship rule, that they can still elect to play. Final decision is up to the school.
