I'll say again, that these are two different teams from 2014.

Defense
Melvin Gordon vs two first time starting DTs (one a true sophomore, one a true freshman), Welter was the MLB, and there was no Jamal Adams as a run stopper.

Offense
First year starter in true sophomore Jennings who is now at ULL. First year starting and/or playing WRs (a redshirt sophomore, redshirt freshman, and 2 true freshmen). First game for true freshman Fournette, and first game of a new zone blocking scheme ran by the OL.

The situations are just completely different. The Wisconsin passing will be much better, simply because McEvoy isn't the QB , but they lose any running advantage there that they got from the 2014 game. Clement is FAR from Gordon (seriously I don't know a Wisconsin back that matches up), and is about equal to Williams our 3rd string RB. The biggest however, is that we have Aranda now. You don't think that he has lent the LSU offensive staff ideas from stopping the guys he's coached the past 3 years???

ETA: My homer pick is 56-13 LSU win, but my realistic pick is 38-17 LSU win.
