LSU football may have dropped its first matchup of the season to the Mississippi State Bulldogs in a 44-34 loss, but the Tigers have a chance to get back on track this week against an 0-1 Vanderbilt Commodores team.
LSU is a 20.5-point favorite as Vanderbilt comes off a 17-12 loss to the Texas A&M Aggies, but it’s important to note that the Commodores did come within just five points and that quarterback Ken Seals is looking incredibly calm and collected to be just a true freshman.
Here’s a look at what people are saying ahead of Saturday night’s game, what it could look like and the team in general.

Can’t really get any numbers, on exactly how many Vanderbilt students will be allowed to attend #LSU game tonight. Friday when I asked if it would be less than a thousand, I was told “more than a thousand”.

The focus for the @LSUfootball and Head Football coach Ed Orgeron this week vs Vanderbilt is returning to the LSU standard of play. #GeauxNationhttps://t.co/sFGYUpEmiG

–@RabalaisAdv on Myles Brennan: “I give him a passing grade. He wasn’t Heisman worthy, and he’ll suffer by comparison to Joe Burrow. But he had a better debut than Joe Burrow did two years ago.”
