Projected Temperature at Kickiff in Oxford Tomorrow Night is Projected to Be 89-93 Degrees

Even for a night game, it's going to be hot and humid. Since the defense expends more energy, I think TOP will be an even bigger factor for both defenses.

Which brings up the issue of LSU's running game. Will we see LSU run the ball very effectively like they did in the Clemson game (309 yards) or will it be more hit-and-miss like we saw against Louisiana Tech? Imo, I think LA Tech's unconventional 3-3-5 defensive format caused LSU a lot of problems. LSU almost never faces that alignment.

Just my opinion, but I think LSU's running game will be very effective against Ole Miss (Louisville had almost 200 yards rushing). If so, the TOP will be in LSU's favor and, hopefully, that somewhat suspect OM defense could get worn down in that heat.
