Zach Dimmitt writes: "The storyline for LSU headed
into the Louisiana Tech game will be about the danger of looking ahead to Ole Miss. Louisiana Tech will score an early touchdown to take a 7-0 lead but LSU will wake up shortly after before running away with this one for an in-state non-conference win. On to Oxford for the Tigers."

Bill Speros writes: "Lane Kiffin hung 51 points on Clemson without any NFL players on his roster. Sam Leavitt tore up Clemson’s defense and LSU’s defense did the rest. Kiffin brings all gas, no brakes to another level. There will some level of letdown this week inside Death Valley. But it’s still 'Death Valley,' especially when an in-state rival dares to show up."
