The time is drawing closer for the LSU Tigers to take the field at Tiger Stadium against SEC West rival Mississippi State to open to 2020 college football season.
With the game just a day away, there’s a lot to dissect heading into the matchup
Here’s a look at four reasons the Tigers will defeat the Bulldogs and move to 1-0.
High powered offense
Despite losing much of their talent, the Tigers are reloading on offense. Under new quarterback Myles Brennan, this 2020 Tigers offense could light it up again on the stats sheet.
Joe Brady is gone to the NFL, and former Dallas Cowboys assistant Scott Linehan takes over as passing game coordinator. The Tigers’ top receiver from last season, Ja’Marr Chase, opted out of the season.
But, Terrace Marshall Jr., Racey McMath and Kayshon Boutte are expected to star at the position. Running backs Chris Curry, Tyrion Davis-Price and John Emery Jr. are all talented tailbacks.
Plus, five star freshman tight end Arik Gilbert is ready to show Tigers fans why he was such a coveted high school recruit.
With the arm of Brennan in the pocket and a three-headed monster at running back, the Tigers’ offense is about to come out firing on Saturday.
Brennan will be too much for the Bulldogs’ linebackers and secondary to handle in the passing attack, and the rushing game will come alive early.
