LSU will play Notre Dame
in the Music City Bowl to end the season.
I like the match up and so does Vegas as the Tigers are 8.5 point
favorites. LSU should be able to run the
ball and hopefully force turnover machine Everett Golson to revert to form. (14 INT's and 8 Fumbles)
A few things to look for:- The
number 1 question for today and the upcoming months is, “who will be LSU’s
starter at QB for 2015?” The job is
wide open if Harris has the smarts and work ethic to take it. Jennings has been extremely poor which
has hamstrung the entire offense and coaching staff. The next few weeks are an opportunity
for both QB’s to improve. This game is an audition for next year.
- Can
Fournette top 1,000 yards rushing?
I like his chances. Notre Dame gave up about 4.8 yards per carry and 244 yards a game over the last five weeks of the season.
- Can the
LSU front four get any pass rush?
Notre Dame has given up 28 sacks this year. But LSU ranks 100th in the country
with only 19 sacks all season.
Given time to
prepare, Les Miles has had plenty of success coming up with solid game
plans. (Miles is 16-3 in season openers
and bowl games). Look for a heavy dose
of Fournette and some read option.
Harris will probably play, but I don’t think it’s a sure thing. The defense will have some success but LSU can’t put anyone away so this will be
another one possession game.
LSU 27 – ND 20
