Number 8. LSU

Week 1 results: (0-1) 16-14 Loss to Wisconsin

LSU proved once again that the team will only go as far as Leonard Fournette will take them.

Brandon Harris is still not a polished passer. Everyone knew, or should have known that Brandon Harris was not going to become an all-world passer in one offseason. Leonard Fournette can carry this team on his back but he shouldn’t have to. LSU is too talented to be one dimensional, but with Harris that is the consistent theme of the Tigers.

The Defense was pretty good for the Tigers, snagging two interceptions but they will be tested against better offensive teams than Wisconsin in 2016. If the defense gets better, then it will be difficult to score on LSU.

Next Game: Saturday, September 10, vs Jacksonville State 7:30 ET ESPNU
