Louisiana Tech Bulldogs

Singleton, Jr. put together an impressive JUCO career, scoring 20 TDs. This Bulldog defense is led by Kolbe Fields, Amari Butler, and Emmanuel Oguns. Fields is an LSU transfer. Butler and Oguns are JUCO transfers.
LSU Tigers
LSU is coming off of a huge week 1 victory. The Tigers will have to get pumped up for this one and try to avoid the hangover. Garrett Nussmeier needs to get this team up. Caden Durham and this offensive line need to keep the positive momentum going. Chris Hilton, Jr., needs to get his confidence up. Look for Chris to get some big touches in this one. The defense needs to continue playing smash mouth Tiger football. The leaders need to get this unit up.
KEYS TO THE GAME
- Can the Tigers keep the foot on the pedal?
- Can the Tigers shut down this dual threat quarterback?
- Can the Tigers get the studs out early to get other guys valuable playing time?
This Bulldog team has nothing to lose. The Tigers need a dominant performance.
