t's just funny because LSU scored and allowed an average of 24 points in true road games (regulation) last season.

That margin is kinda far from 14 so excuse my laughter.
I say LSU by 14, because the defense should be borderline elite, the offense should be much better. I think LSU is being overlooked right now nationally, because Alabama just has some voodoo going over the Tigers.

Alabama last year was about even with Georgia, a little more experienced and a little more talented. LSU looked inept (again) against Alabama, but kicked the shite out of Georgia. Lost two other games besides Bama- rivalry road game to Fla, pseudo-rivalry road game to A&M (you know Jimbo had to win at least once against a good team, and LSU was circled in as that). Really could have won both, and both are now home rematches.

Re Texas, they have a bit of a Miami feel about them. Good last season, but still some holes, and BTW they've started slow both seasons under Herman. I think they'll be GOOD, but not great; and I think the schedule and roster line up for LSU to make a run at the playoffs this year.
14 points is a good guess, I see LSU being up in the second half and getting a late score to put the game away. I don't think you play conservative on the road, you can't play to stop Texas with your defense at the end. So maybe 24-17 going into the 4th, and LSU puts one in midway through the 4th to separate and win 31-17.

That’s honestly a convincing argument for your position so I’ll give an exalt.

I tend to think Herman uses last season’s opener as motivation and has TX very prepared. LSU’s offense is not bad but far from great. The defense will need to live up to elite hype to win by two TDS I think.
