How dangerous are these Tigers?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
LSU’s last impressive performance came more than two months ago when the Tigers won 24-17 at South Carolina.
Since then, they’ve gone 2-4 with victories over Tulane and Troy. They’ve given up 31 points in each of their last three games. They’ll start a true freshman quarterback, Jordan Jefferson, in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. It will be Jefferson’s second start.
In addition, the 7-5 Tigers are dealing with impending changes on their defensive staff.
That said, Tech has plenty to worry about.
For starters, there is no shortage of bigtime talent on LSU’s roster.
Running back Charles Scott (1,109 rushing yards, 15 TDs), wideout Brandon LaFell (61 catches, 903 yards, 8 TDs), and defensive ends Rahim Alem (8 sacks) and Tyson Jackson (8.5 tackles for loss) are just some of the Tigers’ playmakers. Trindon Holliday is an electric return man.
Coach Les Miles is 3-0 in bowl games at LSU. And you know the Tigers are hungry to redeem themselves after a disappointing season.
Tech fans, what concerns you most about this matchup?
