LSU will be without star linebacker Whit Weeks for its SEC rivalry game against Alabama, dealing a significant blow to the Tigers' defense ahead of the highly anticipated matchup.
The news comes as LSU prepares for one of the most storied rivalries in college football. Weeks has been a key contributor for the Tigers this season, and his absence will test the team's depth at the linebacker position against a potent Alabama offense.
The SEC showdown is scheduled for November 6, 2026. LSU's coaching staff will need to adjust their defensive scheme to compensate for the loss of their standout linebacker in what is traditionally one of the conference's most competitive games.
