Context:

The Tigers won the first meeting at Alabama on Nov. 5, by the underwhelming score of 9-6 in overtime. Now, the Crimson Tide will get a second shot at Les Miles' undefeated LSU squad -- while a disappointed Oklahoma State team watches from home. It'll be all SEC all the time on Campus Rivalry tonight.

@oristarA,

In this instance, it means the tigers get another try, or opportunity to attempt to beat the other team.

Sorry Ori, that I can't help you with. I know next to nothing about American football, and even less about college ball.
I'm a Canadian and I don't really follow the sport up here either.

@Ceili,

Sounds like it might be Southeastern Conference, but I'm guessing. I don't follow football either, but I understand there are various conferences that in college football function somewhat like leagues in professional football and baseball.
