LSU Wire Roundtable: Staff predictions for Tigers’ Week 8 contest vs. Army

Here’s how our staff at LSU Wire sees this weekend’s contest against Army playing out.

After playing five SEC games in a row, LSU has a bit of an unconventional matchup in Week 8.

The Tigers will be hosting a service academy in Army, which will mark just the second time LSU has faced a service academy after the two teams squared off in 1931, a game the Black Knights won 20-0.

College football has changed quite a bit since the interwar period, and LSU enters this game as a heavy favorite. Following this matchup, it’s a bye and then a road contest against Alabama that could decide the SEC West.

The Tigers can’t get ahead of themselves, however. Here’s how our staff at LSU Wire sees this weekend’s contest against Army playing out.
