There’s an obvious gap in talent between these clubs, and the LSU Tigers could blow the doors off if they wanted. However, let’s not act like LSU is playing great ball through 2 games as the offense has been sluggish, and they’ve allowed teams to hang around. Also, we know the New Orleans Privateers will be the more motivated side as this is a rare big game on national TV. It’s the points or pass for me.
