LSU came in at No. 21 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings, and with No. 6 Texas and Tennessee next, there’s still a chance if the Tigers get some help. But there’s no tomorrow: LSU has to burn the ships and win Saturday night in Death Valley. Then there’s breaking news from the first availability report. Right tackle Weston Davis is probable, defensive end Gabe Rutherford is probable after tearing his ACL in the spring, and Whit Weeks is questionable. We get into why Davis’ return against Colin Simmons may be the biggest news of the week and what Weeks’ leadership would mean for the defense.
Then it’s what LSU must do to beat Texas. On defense: get to Arch Manning (seven interceptions and five fumbles this year), tackle in space on the perimeter, handle Ryan Wingo and Cam Coleman, and limit the big plays. On offense: Sam Leavitt has to throw where the coverage takes him, attack the slot when Will Muschamp overloads pressure, get Dylan Jones the ball in space, and get creative in the run game. Last, Lane Kiffin has to take the points. Plus your Super Chats.
