This Sunday, the LSU Tigers will be taking on the USC Trojans in what should be one of the best games of the Week 1 slate. The only game I can think of that can match up with the hype around this game is Georgia vs. Clemson.
When it comes to what team will win the game, most writers and college football experts are split. These are two teams that had zero defense last year. If this game plays out like last year it will be one of the highest-scoring games of all time. ESPN’s [autotag]Greg McElroy[/autotag] recently made his prediction for the game on his “Always College Football” podcast. Here is who he picked.
“I’m taking LSU, but I think it’s going to be close,” McElroy said, per On3. “LSU is more equipped to be able to win those shootouts with a slightly more experienced quarterback in [autotag]Garrett Nussmeier[/autotag]. So I’m taking LSU.
“I think they’ll get it done, but I expect this game to kind of come down to the wire, and it could be a scenario where whoever has the ball last ultimately wins.”
Beating USC would be a great way to start off the 2024 season. That win could help lead the Tigers to a playoff berth.
