LSU Tigers Wire staff predictions for Saturday’s game against Alabama

Can LSU do the unthinkable?

Can LSU beat Alabama on Saturday? We have seen crazier things happen.

Not many felt that the Tigers could knock off the Gators in Death Valley but we saw it happen with four interceptions forced by the defense. They will need that sort of effort from the defense yet again to come away victorious.

The offense will need to be much better than they were two weeks ago against the Ole Miss Rebels. After scoring an opening drive touchdown, the offense disappeared until the fourth quarter. With the game already in doubt, backup quarterback Garrett Nussmeier was able to get some snaps and lead two scoring drives.

Based on what is expected, we might see more Garrett Nussmeier in this game than thought. The LSU Tigers Wire staff takes a shot at predicting this game.
