Comments
This is a battle of the the 2019 and 2020 college football national champions. Although LSU has dropped somewhat since 2019, it should be a fun game to watch. LSU is always loaded with talented, athletic players. They’ll be playing hard for Ed Orgeron. If LSU can steal a win in Tuscaloosa, which is unlikely, it’ll cast a shadow on the LSU athletic director’s decision to part ways with Orgeron following the 2021 season. That would certainly put a smile on Orgeron’s face. Alabama is the clear favorite, however, playing in Tuscaloosa. Bama can’t afford to sleep on the Tigers. They knocked off a Florida team that came within 2 points of beating Alabama. The Tide should win by two touchdowns or more.
