Challenges for LSU

LSU’s retooling much of its starting lineup from 2017. Six offensive starters were lost including the starting quarterback and running back. There will be six new starters on defense as well. The new starters will need to gel quickly in order to counter the 14 returning starters for a very good Miami squad. LSU is one of those teams that never rebuilds, they just reload so the potential is there for the Tigers to put a whipping on the Canes.

Sunday’s game kicks off at 6:30 pm CT and can be seen on ABC.
