What happened: The Week 10 SEC game between Alabama and LSU is set for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff, and LSU head coach Lane Kiffin said he assumed the rivalry would be played at night as it has been for years. Key numbers: Kickoff 3:30 p.m.; the game has been played at night in each of the past six seasons; the last non-night meeting in Baton Rouge came in 2010; LSU is 1-6 in Why it matters: Kiffin suggested the league office may have changed the time to give LSU less of an advantage, citing how LSU plays at night, and said he was not surprised given legal disputes involving him, LSU and the SEC.
