re: ESPN reporters pick Week 3 - no one picks LSU

Statistically both great defenses.

Against UDub, another great defense, they scored 21 including a late TD; Washington was in that game the whole way.

This includes 2 turnovers by UDub. LSU has been one of the best, if not the very best in (tied an NCAA record last year for fewest with 8) turnovers given up under Orgeron. Meanwhile auburn had 4 t/o’s just last week. LSU is one of 6 teams with no t/o’s this season.

I see no football reason to indicate this game won’t at least be close. LSU hasn’t played offense in the second half of either of its games. While that might prove to hurt us in terms of development, it may also prove that we can continue to score when we need to.
