LSU vs Eastern Michigan

Everything you need to know about the game between the LSU Tigers and Eastern Michigan Eagles, including start time, live stream info, odds and more.

Leonard Fournette has taken over this season with 691 rushing yards as the LSU sophomore running back has more yards through the first three games of the season than any running back in FBS history. And we may be in store for something special vs. Eastern Michigan on Saturday considering they have the worst rush defense among the 128 teams making up the FBS.

Keys to Victory

This game should be an almost guaranteed cake-walk for LSU. As long as Leonard Fournette is able to churn his legs and Brandon Harris can avoid turning the ball over more than twice, I expect LSU to walk away the victor.

Eastern Michigan will have a much tougher time winning this game than LSU will. If the Eagles can schematically find a way to eliminate Leonard Fournette from being a factor in this game, then the Eagles might have a chance.

LSU quarterback, Brandon Harris has not looked spectacular, so if Eastern Michigan can provide constant pressure and make Harris have a bad day at the office while miraculously containing Fournette, then the Eagles have a good chance to keep it within 28 points of LSU. If Eastern Michigan is unable to do that, expect Fournette to make a run at the SEC single-game rushing record of 323 yards set by Arkansas’ Darren McFadden.

Betting Odds

Point Spread: LSU -44.5

Moneyline: EMU: +55000 LSU: -165000

O/U: 60

Prediction

Ultimately, I expect the LSU Tigers to destroy the Eastern Michigan Eagles. The talent level difference between these two schools may be more than a solid game plan can overcome. Leonard may be the best halfback in college football since Adrian Peterson and he could easily run for more than 300 yards if Les Miles keeps him in the game long enough to do so.

Final Score: LSU: 62, Eastern Michigan: 17
