3. Louisville’s Defense Will Hold LSU To Less Than 20 Points

Just from looking at what LSU has been able to do on offense this season, it doesn’t take long to realize that they aren’t nearly as good as some of the other teams Louisville has played. To be more specific, these guys from LSU are only scoring 28.3 points per game.

Take a look at each team Louisville faced that has a better “points per game” average in 2016 then LSU:

Kentucky, Clemson, Florida State, and Houston

Point being, the Cardinals’ defense is used to facing elite offensive talent on most weekends. All of the teams mentioned above gave the Cards major problems, as they lost to three the four teams listed.

However, the Tigers don’t have the high-scoring offense that could come out and outscore Lamar Jackson and the Louisville offense on Saturday.
