You'll lose. LSU will destroy TT. let's not forget who we're talking about here, a Big 12 bottom feeder.



Let's not forget LSU struggled in wins over two other bottome feeders this year - Syracuse and E Mich. neither are in bowls.

Miles and team will make this a mighty struggle - as usual.

TT has no run defense. They give up 276 yards a game, with Fournette behind a rested o-line they won't be able to slow us down. But still I want to see some creativity in the offense, because if we just run it right at them we may actually not have a very good offense. But there is no excuse for us to struggle on offense, against a team who is #126 in Run D and like #112 in Pass D, there is no excuse that we can't score 40+ points on this team. Assuming we may need to.

Sucks to only be a 7.5 point favorite over a team that lost lost 5 games and gave up 40+ points in 7 games.

That Big12 bottom feeder that beat Arkansas, who humiliated LSU at home? LSU should win but knowing who the coach is, this might be a nail biter....

We won that game, scored over 40 points, and LF7 made SEC history with a 3rd straight game with over 200 yards rushing. What's the downside?

Line is 6 last I saw.

We should win it on the ground. Our secondary is supposed to be a strength, but TT has been better at pitch and catch than A&M, and Mahomes is better on his feet than their QB too.

We will need to win the turnover battle.

At least it's a night game. That's about all the excitement I can muster.

Goddamn our fans are so laughably stupid.

Although I am holding out hope that the idiots on this website are not representative of the fan base.

When you look at defenses similar to LSU's ranking wise, TT will do okay, but not great. Probably score 25-31 points on our D, depending on turnovers.

Thing is, when you look at defenses similar to TT's that LSU has played, we do pretty well. I think we score 37+ points on them.

Won't be good enough to cheer up the negatigers, but I'd bet the tigers even at -9.5.
