Kalen DeBoer is back for the full version of his radio show this week.

The Alabama football coach will take part in “Hey Coach” once again for a full hour after he called in for 15 minutes during the open week at the end of October.

This week, No. 11 Alabama will face No. 15 LSU on Saturday (6:30 p.m. CT, ABC) at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The winner will keep its playoff hopes alive. The loser will all but be eliminated from CFP contention.

DeBoer will be discussing the matchup, among other topics, with radio play-by-play broadcaster Chris Stewart from Baumhower’s Victory Grille in Tuscaloosa.

Follow along for live updates.
