Social media buzz ahead of LSU-Central Michigan on Saturday night
It is finally here, gameday in Baton Rouge. The LSU Tigers are ready to defend Death Valley against an unfamiliar foe in the Central Michigan Chippewas.
LSU head coach Ed Orgeron is 1-1 in head-to-head action against Jim McElwain, during his time with the Florida Gators. McElwain’s record against LSU is 1-2 and 1-1 in Death Valley. Tigers look to spoil his return to Baton Rouge by knocking off his new team in nonconference action on Saturday night.
The defense is looking to build off their dominating performance against McNeese. They will face an offense that gave up nine sacks against Missouri. CMU quarterback Jacob Sirmon will need to keep his head on a swivel with BJ Ojulari, Andre Anthony, and Maason Smith roaming in the backfield.
The offense needs a better performance than they showed a week ago against the Cowboys in Baton Rouge. The offense looks to go up-tempo to build some momentum before heading to Starkville next Saturday. Can Max Johnson finally build some rhythm in this game? We will get some answers at 6:30 p.m. CDT at Tiger Stadium.
