Back to EpisodesVanderbilt vs. LSU Predictions: SEC Football Week 8
Description
Chris Lee and Chase Robinson preview LSU’s road trip to (according to FanDuel) favored Vanderbilt on Saturday, a game shown on ABC at 11. Topics include:
-
It’s a strength-on-strength matchup between Vanderbilt’s offense and LSU’s defense.
-
Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea was LSU coach Brian Kelly’s defensive coordinator at Notre Dame. Does that give either side an edge?
-
Vanderbilt’s Diego Pavia leads a rushing attack that’s been unstoppable.
-
The Commodores also throw the ball well, but a secondary led by transfers Mansoor Delane and AJ Haulcy has been tough.
-
LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier has played banged-up all year and that appears to have hampered his performance.
-
LSU’s offense has struggled, but receivers like Nic Anderson, Barion Brown and tight end Trey’Dez Green could give the Tigers an athletic advantage against Vanderbilt’s defense.
-
The Commodores' defense has slipped lately, as Vandy allowed 35 and 30 points in their past two games.
-
But Vanderbilt had a bye week coming in, and a week of rest could help.
