Saturday night in Death Valley, it really doesn’t get much better than that when it comes to game atmosphere and electricity. While the Central Michigan Chippewas aren’t the sexiest matchup for the LSU Tigers, they need to come out and dominate a team from the MAC.
A familiar foe returns to Baton Rouge in Jim McElwain, he has a 1-1 record against Ed Orgeron in head-to-head action. Does McElwain have the talent on his side to knock off the Bayou Bengals at Tiger Stadium?
On the flip side, LSU needs this win ahead of next week’s game. Our colleagues at The Daily Advertiser see this game like a runaway with the Tigers coming out on top 41-14.
McElwain has increased Central Michigan’s talent level, but it’s not on LSU’s level. The Tigers celebrate after a fun night in Death Valley.
