Challenges for LSU
LSU showed some resolve in the solid win over MAC school Central Michigan. The Tigers hung almost 50 points on CMU but they need for their defense to also play better. Face it, the Tiger defense hasn’t been very strong the past few seasons. Even during the 2019 National Championship season, the Tigers gave up 38 points to Vanderbilt. Stopping the Mike Leach passing attack will be a big challenge.
Saturday‘s game kicks off at 11:00 AM CT (12:00 PM ET). You can watch this SEC football game on the ESPN Network.
