Coming off of a huge win at Texas in Week 2, LSU had a bit of a slow start at home against Northwestern State on Saturday, but it eventually got going to win 65-14.
That’s a big number certainly, but LSU’s running game has to get going sometime, right? The Tigers rushed for just 122 yards against the Demons.
Now, SEC play starts for Ed Orgeron’s team, beginning with a road trip to Nashville to play Vanderbilt. According to ESPN’s Football Power Index, the Tigers are heavily favored in that game. In fact, the FPI has LSU favored to win every regular season game except for one road matchup against a certain SEC West rival in November.
Can LSU remain undefeated until the Alabama game? It’s going to be fun finding out.
