College Football Week 8: 5 bold predictions

4. LSU keeps on winning

Les Miles hasn’t been the LSU head coach for four weeks. Since he has been fired, LSU has not lost. They have only played two games but still haven’t been defeated and have climbed back into the top 25 rankings. With back to back wins over Missouri and Southern Mississippi, LSU will look to keep rolling in their next game against No. 23 Ole Miss. Ole Miss is the only team in the top 25 with three losses and has had to play a brutal schedule.

LSU’s defense may be getting overlooked. On the year, they are the only team to hold every opponent they have played to under 21 points. The have only allows six total touchdowns against them and are third in defensive efficiency in the SEC. That is a top-class defense. Along with what has been a great defense, LSU will also be getting their star running back back this week as well. Leonard Fournette will make his return after being out with an injury.

With Fournette back and with this very good defense, LSU may be looking to make a huge push in the second half of the season. The play Ole Miss this week, and like I said, Ole Miss has played a brutal schedule and may be just drained. I see LSU taking this game and winning three straight games. Fournette has a big game in his return and everyone is happy in Baton Rouge. Ed Orgeron has these guys playing great football right now.
