When it comes to experiencing the Tiger Stadium atmosphere during Alabama football vs. LSU
, Que Robinson
is a pro.
The fifth-year senior linebacker has played in two road games against LSU
: a 55-17 win in 2020, and a 32-31 loss in 2022. Robinson knows exactly what to expect when the Crimson Tide
play in Baton Rouge Nov. 9, something he's sharing with all of his teammates.

"We were just saying how it's going to be loud," Robinson said. "It's going to be a whole bunch of people that just hate you. And I think it might be worse than Tennessee
's stadium."
It is something Alabama
is already preparing for, piping in crowd noise into its practice just like the team did before its loss to Tennessee.
Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer
said noise played a major factor at Neyland Stadium, leading to snap count issues early in the game.
It's something DeBoer said will continue to be a point of emphasis as the Crimson Tide
prepares for LSU.
"We'll continue to do the things in the week of preparation to mimic that and give us as many snaps as possible where you're really, you know, relying on silent cadences and so forth, prepare for the hardest scenarios," DeBoer said. "And I felt like we did a good job of that (prior to Tennessee). But, you know, we got in the moment and we struggled, especially early on."
