A hobbled Trevor Knight and the Aggies were able to put up 39 points against the Tigers who were missing a few key defensive starters. They’ll look to respond to that bruising by clamping down on Jackson. But will they be able to do it?
The LSU offense will be without Leonard Fournette, but that shouldn’t cause much concern. Why? Because backup Derrius Guice ran for a school record 285 yards when Fournette missed the Texas A&M game with an injury.
Both schools rank in the top 15 in the nation in total defense, but Louisville has a clear edge in the offensive match up. Jackson, who wasn’t playing his best football down the stretch will have some trouble with the Tiger’s defense. That said, he should be able to find a way to put more points on the board than the LSU offense is capable of against a good Cardinals defense.
