Advice and prediction

This certainly wasn’t a game LSU fans thought would be tricky before the season, but it’s a bit more intriguing now. The Jaguars have impressed offensively in recent weeks, particularly on the ground with Fluff Bothwell, one of the nation’s top running backs. The Tigers are legit offensively, and that should keep this one from being a scare. But South Alabama will score enough to cover here, and the over seems like a fairly safe bet.

Prediction: LSU 45, South Alabama 24
