LSU are heavy favorites over McNeese State on Saturday night

The LSU Tigers will be massive favorites according to Tipico Sportsbook.

In the home opener at Tigers Stadium on Saturday night, the LSU Tigers are going to be massive favorites in this game. The team is looking to even their record with a win over an in-state FCS foe. McNeese State is also looking to even their record, but it is a tall task for the Cowboys.

The head coach Frank Wilson is a former assistant at LSU, and his quarterback is the son of the LSU head coach. Can Cody Orgeron one-up dad in Baton Rouge? To do that, he will have to overcome a lot despite LSU missing several starters this week.

Social media buzz ahead of LSU vs McNeese

Social media buzz ahead of the LSU Tigers game against McNeese on Saturday night.

On Saturday the LSU Tigers open the home slate against an in-state opponent with McNeese State coming into Tiger Stadium. The second-ever matchup between the two schools after the Tigers took down the Cowboys 32-10 back in 2010. Both schools coming in with 0-1 records after losing last Saturday.

LSU has a lot to get right after the defense watched UCLA run and throw all over the defense. It was very reminiscent of the opener in 2020 when the LSU defense gave up over 600 yards against the Mississippi State Bulldogs. A new defensive coordinator didn’t have much of a different impact, Daronte Jones needs to get his defensive playmakers in a position to make a difference moving forward.

The offense looked decent through the air against UCLA with Max Johnson going over 300 yards with three touchdowns. The southpaw needs to be a bit more accurate moving forward, the offensive line needs to give him more time as he was constantly under duress. They also need to get the running game humming as they managed just two yards per attempt last week.

The enthusiasm quickly faded a week ago and the criticism of the team came fast and furiously. ESPN College GameDay crew were critical of the team at almost every level of the team.

LSU vs McNeese State: How to watch plus game predictions

A look at how to watch the LSU Tigers host the McNeese State Cowboys on Saturday night in Death Valley. Plus game picks and predictions.

Saturday night in Death Valley the LSU Tigers get a chance to even their 2021 record two games in. After the loss to UCLA, the Tigers host an in-state opponent from the FCS, McNeese State.

After warts from 2020 arose once again in 2021, the optimism of the season quickly faded as the Bruins ran and threw all over the Tigers’ defense. The Cowboys are nowhere near the level of UCLA, but if Cody Orgeron can throw the ball on this defense, we could be in for another long afternoon.

The hot seat for head coach Ed Orgeron began to heat up, even a dominating win over McNeese won’t be enough to quiet the noise around the football program. At least not until after Central Michigan and Mississippi State. The Tigers still have an opportunity to get to 3-1 ahead of SEC play, which is important for postseason chances.

Game Prediction

I took one on the chin last week choosing LSU to win that game on the road in Pasadena, California. Just like the team, there is an opportunity to even my season record.

Game Pick Off X-Factor Def X-Factor Season Talley
LSU Tyrion Davis-Price BJ Ojulari 0-1

In this game, I think it gets put away relatively early on and allows some of the younger players to see in-game action. McNeese will score some points late after the outcome has been well decided.

My bold prediction is Tyrion Davis-Price runs for 150 yards and three touchdowns in this game.

Score: LSU 56, McNeese 27
