Trap games for every SEC team - LSU Tigers
I’m beginning to think that October 19 might be this year’s “upset Saturday” in the SEC. For LSU, even though they should be far better than the Razorbacks, this could still be an extremely treacherous spot.
This is the front end of the dreaded back-to-back conference road games for the Tigers. To make matters worse, this comes right after one of the biggest games of the year when Ole Miss comes to Baton Rouge and right before a rivalry game against Texas A&M (of course, this could be seen as three straight rivalry games for the Tigers, depending on who you ask).
That’s an extremely unfriendly stretch, and one that will be very tough to navigate for the Tigers. You could make an argument that they are more talented than each of the three teams they’re facing, but it’s a huge ask for them to go 3-0 in this stretch.
This will no doubt be the easiest of the three, but it will also be the easiest to overlook. LSU will have to bring a focused mentality into Fayetteville, as this will be a much bigger game for the Hogs than it will be for them.
