Vegas believes LSU will put out a victory with a score of roughly 27-20 on Saturday night in Tiger Stadium.

ESPN's Football Power Index Weighs In:

The Chance of Victory for LSU: 59.2%

Kelly and the Bayou Bengals enter the Week 14 showdown with a 59.2 percent chance to walk out of Tiger Stadium with a victory, according to ESPN's Football Power Index.

LSU is fresh off of a win over the Vanderbilt Commodores, and with one game to go, it's imperative the program ends the season on the right foot.

Leading up to last weekend's game, the Tigers were riding a three-game losing streak where the offense was abysmal.

It’s a unit that struggled mightily during the program’s three game losing streak with numbers consisting of: 92nd in sacks per dropback (7.1%), 113th in turnover rate (3.0%), 120th in success rate (35.5%) and 122nd in percentage of plays gaining zero or negative yards (39.0%). All statistics according to ESPN. 

On Saturday, the script was flipped. LSU bounced back in a major way with complementary offense being showcased from start to finish.

Nussmeier paved the way through the air, but it was veteran running back Josh Williams who carved out a significant role on Saturday night.

At halftime, Williams had already tallied nearly 100 yards of total offense with 62 rushing yards along with 30 yards through the air. He ended the night with 151 yards of total offense on 18 touches with a pair of touchdowns.

LSU needed a game where both phases of the offense clicked with the program receiving just that against the Commodores. 

The Tigers ended the night with 139 rushing yards and two scores on the ground. It was a much-needed performance from Williams and Co.

Now, heading into this weekend against Oklahoma, they must finish the season on the right note and piece together the same showing they had last weekend against Vanderbilt.
