Why LSU wins this game
Brian Kelly may need a win this weekend more than any other game in his LSU tenure thus far. Kelly was more involved in the offense last weekend and the results showed as LSU controlled the ball for three quarters but, they couldn't punch the ball in for scores. This weekend as Kelly continues to get involved we should see some improvements in the redzone. The Commodores have struggled as of late on offense but, LSU will need to slow Diego Pavia's ability to run.
