No. 14 LSU (6-2, 3-1) enters Saturday night in Tiger Stadium looking to remain alive in the College Football Playoff race with a battle against Alabama inching closer.
All eyes will be on the Top 15 showdown in Baton Rouge with both programs looking to make a statement in the Southeastern Conference matchup.
For the Bayou Bengals, it’ll be about getting the ball in their playmakers hands while diversifying the playbook to keep the Crimson Tide on their toes.
“I think we have guys like Aaron Anderson, Mason Taylor and even Kyren Lacy has been big for us on third down,” Brian Kelly said on Monday. “We’ve gotta be more consistent across the board and creating a little more uncertainty in terms of what we are doing. Making sure we can get the ball to the playmakers but include the screen game, misdirection and the run game to create some more uncertainty.”
The predictions are flowing in for Saturday night’s showdown in the Bayou State.
