Some stats for predictions: By year, average scores for LSU and Opponent; Both Overall & (vs Top 25)
2009: 24.8 - 16.2, (13.75 - 17.25), 4 Top 25
2010: 29.7 - 18.2, (26.9 - 23.9), 7 Top 25
2011: 35.7 - 11.3, (31.6 - 14.3), 9 Top 25
2012: 29.8 - 17.5, (21.8 - 19.5), 6 Top 25
4 Year Average: 30.0 - 15.8, (23.5 - 18.7) 6.5 Top 25 Opponents
The 2011 defense was by far the best, but the other 3 years were only slightly above the 4 year average with 17.3 points per game (20.2 vs Top 25).
- If we assume that the 2013 defense is comparable to the typical defense (09, 11, 12), this would indicate that TCU should score somewhere between 17-21 points statistically.
When looking at the offense through the years, again, 2011 was special. However, the other 3 years were only slightly below the 4-year average with 28.1 points per game (20.8 vs Top 25).
- If we assume the offense isn't any worse than any of those years, LSU should score at least 21-28 points.
So, I'd say that it's safe to assume that LSU will win the game.
In opening games,
2009: 31-23 vs UW, 2010: 30-24 vs #18 UNC, 2011: 40-27 vs #3 UO, 2012: 41-14 vs UNTx
The opening game averages fall on the upper end of the season averages: 35.5 - 22.0, (35.0 - 25.5) 2 Top 25.
All things considered, I'll pick LSU 30-17.

LSU 24 TCU 21, but one lost turnover, can flip that.
I do not expect a cakewalk
my biggest unknown is "how many points" can we score.. we must score 24 at least, possibly even 27

Smells like this one will be classic Miles start...slow sloppy etc...TCU starts fast, LSU on heels...prob start behind 0-7 or 0-10...TD starts imploding...D figures it out, O scores late in half...down 7-10 at half...LSU rolls second half 33-13 final

35-24 LSU wins.
close game until 3rd quarter where we break their backs with a long possetion where blue just eats yards for the last 8 minutes of the 3rd. TCU scores a garbage touchdown in last 2 minutes of game
