You have a LSU team that is around top 60 in most power rankings and some projections have them in and several have them out. They need a big quality win and why not against Alabama. Will Wade has done wonders to this team and for a team that won 10 games last year has already won 14 games this year. Note, this team is a top 35 offensive team which always keeps them in and as Alabama comes off a historic win over Tennessee where they held their rival to just 50 points and winning by 28 points against a top 15 caliber team is pretty incredible, and a tough game to get motivated against a LSU team who they have already beaten. LSU has revenge and this is a letdown spot for Bama. LSU needs this win and this is a team that does have road wins against Texas A&M and Arkansas to their credit. Will Wade is great at making adjustments as well and this team lost by 8 to Bama last time and look for them to play with exceeding effort today.
