LSU vs Purdue Cheez-It Citrus Bowl, What’s Going To Happen

Good luck trying to figure this one out with all the lost parts on both sides.

Both teams are gutted, but the LSU twos should be stronger than the Purdue backups in several spots. Purdue needs the timing to be there to make its offense work, and that’s not going to be easy.

LSU won’t be able to line up and blast away with any sort of consistency, but it’ll do just enough to control the tempo. Purdue won’t hit enough downfield shots – it’s not a deep throwing team anyway – Jayden Daniels will be okay keeping the chains moving for the Tigers, and Brian Kelly’s team will come up with one very, very ragged bowl win.

LSU is 7-0 when allowing fewer than 24 points. It’ll allow fewer than 24 points.
