LSU Vice Chancellor and Athletic Director Joe Alleva says in an email today that discussions leading CBS to move the Nov. 5 LSU-Alabama football game in Tuscaloosa to a nighttime kickoff also led the network to commit its primetime telecast in 2012 to the LSU-Alabama in Tiger Stadium, ensuring a night game. CBS typically broadcasts just one primetime evening game all year. Though it had already burned up its nighttime telecast earlier this season, it made arrangements with ESPN to change the Nov. 5 kickoff between No.1 LSU and No. 2 Alabama to 7 p.m.
