After a demoralizing loss to Auburn on Saturday night in Death Valley, we’re onto Lexington with an SEC cross-divisional matchup with Kentucky. These teams haven’t played each other since the 2014 season. LSU 41-3 in Death Valley. In their last two matchups, the Tigers have won by a combined 76-10 margin. This marks the first LSU trip to Lexington since 2007, a loss to the Wildcats.
These are your typical LSU Tigers and definitely not your typical Kentucky Wildcats. Head coach Mark Stoops has his defense playing at a very high level. They look more like the LSU Tigers than the Tigers do. They run the football and play good defense. Kentucky could be in line for a letdown game after knocking off Florida in Lexington for the first time since 1986.
The two teams feature two quarterbacks who play a different style. Levis is more of a game manager, who throws if the situation calls upon it but they like to run the ball. Johnson is more of the gunslinger, who throws the ball for an average of 36.2 times a game. Levis has an average of 23.6 pass attempts per game.
