2. LSU – Baton Rouge – Sept. 12
(Admittedly arbitrary) Chances of winning
45%
What poses difficulty
Fresh off a national championship, LSU will be looking to prove they are capable of maintaining their success. To make things more difficult, Death Valley is the most intimidating venues in all of college football. LSU is slightly favored due to it being a home game for them.
How Texas wins
LSU had 14 players drafted in this year’s NFL Draft, while also losing their defensive coordinator in Dave Aranda and offensive mastermind Joe Brady to the NFL. There is going to be a lot of turnover for head coach Ed Orgeron. Texas’ experience on both sides of the ball should be helpful, despite the hostile crowd.
