Summary:
LSU has vastly underperformed early in the season for a roster rich of NFL talent. Quarterback Brandon Harris was awful in their loss to Wisconsin and teams are stacking the box against them. LSU star running back Leonard Fournette made last year’s contest into his own personal highlight video. I expect this to be a low scoring game and I think Auburn will have trouble scoring against an elite LSU defense. LSU will control the clock with Fournette and just need Harris to make a few plays to win this one.
