Tennessee vs LSU Game Preview

Why Tennessee Will Win

That was a nice two weeks.

The Vols started the season 4-0 with a big, fun win over Florida going into a bye week break. As much as can be, they’re rested, they’ve had time to prepare, and now they get to go against an LSU team that’s been on a bit of a rough run.

The Tigers are playing well, but the Auburn game was tough, the Mississippi State was tough, now they have to get ready for a passing game that’s as efficient as any in college football. Hendon Hooker hasn’t thrown a pick, and he doesn’t have to force much thanks to a ground game that hit the 200-yard mark against everyone but Pitt.

That’s the No. 1 offense in college football rolling into Baton Rouge.

The defense is great on third downs and it has been strong against the run, but …

NFL Expert Picks, Week 5

Why LSU Will Win

The Tennessee defense hasn’t been anything great overall.

Anthony Richardson and Florida bombed away for over 450 yards, the pass rush has been hit or miss, and the secondary is allowing more yards per game than anyone in the SEC.

Jayden Daniels needs to kick it all back in.

The former Arizona State transfer quarterback has been a terrific playmaker so far, but he’s coming off a rough day against Auburn leading to a players-only meeting to try getting everyone on the same page.

Going against the Tennessee secondary should fix a slew of problems.

On the other side, the defense is doing a nice job of taking the ball away, it’s been great at not breaking too often after bending, and overall it has quietly been really, really good.

What’s Going To Happen

The LSU defense is the best Tennessee has had to face so far, and it’s going to show.

Hooker and the Vol offense will get things rolling to make this a back-and-forth fight, but Daniels and the LSU attack will keep up.

There haven’t been too many deep shots from Daniels so far – that’s about to change.

The Tiger offense will run well enough to take some of the pressure off, and the defense will come up with the one second half stop the Vols won’t.

Why Tennessee Will Win

The Vols bogged down in the 52-50 loss at Ole Miss a few weeks ago, but that was an aberration for an offense that’s been living around the 80-point mark lately. That’s not even what the team does well.

This is still the SEC’s best scoring defense that’s great at forcing mistakes and fantastic at locking up on the outside. Over the last five games, no one has hit more than 27% from three against this and it takes something special to get to  40% overall from the field. But …

Why LSU Will Win

LSU has the high-powered scoring offense to push this Tennessee defense very, very hard.

The Tigers might not play a whole lot of D, but they’re great from the field, fine from three, and no one in the SEC is better at forcing mistakes and generating points.

Combine the scoring punch with the defensive pressure and the ability to make everything on the free throw line, and the mix could be right to bother the Vols if this gets into any sort of shootout.

What’s Going To Happen

LSU is finally back at home after playing four of its last five away from Baton Rouge.

It might have lost its last two home games to Texas Tech and Alabama, but it’ll stretch the Tennessee defense to make this a battle throughout. The Vols will clamp down when they absolutely have to and make the one extra free throw late to get out alive.
