Staff Predictions: No. 8 Tennessee-No. 25 LSU

Holloway

Tennessee and LSU are set to square off at 12 pm ET on ESPN later today. The Vols and Bayou Bengals clash for the first time in Tiger Stadium since 2010. The top-25 matchup is the third in five games for Tennessee, as the Vols will look to continue building on a strong start in Year Two of the Josh Heupel era Nico Iamaleava Jersey. The VC on SI staff shares their predictions on the game comes into this game as a favorite, and rightfully so, but this is not going to be a walk in the park. LSU is red-hot since losing their first game of the season in stunning fashion to Florida State. While the level of competition has not been as high as what Tennessee has faced Brian Kelly team has still found away. They are an underdog and looking to play spoiler versus the Vols. If the Vols can protect Hendon Hooker and limit Jayden Daniels, then I like their chances of running away with this thing late https://www.volunteersstore.com/Navy_Shuler_Jersey. LSU is going to come out with some juice and has the potential to play Tennessee close for a while, but it will only be for a while. I look for the game to get late into the third quarter and the Vols will pull away down the stretch. I like Tennessee to win this one the season started, I picked Tennessee to go 9-3, with a loss to LSU being one of the three games the Vols would fall be honest, this season has not played out unsurprisingly. The Vols have looked good in the process of going 4-0, but theyre not perfect https://www.volunteersstore.com/James_Pearce_Jr_Jersey. There are still struggles in the secondary, and the pass rush has issues getting home against quick quarterbacks. Throw in the fact that star wide receiver Cedric Tillman is out, and Tennessee doesnt come into this game as some sort of Vols are the more talented team than the Tigers, but LSU has found a way to win close games and even come back in a me the home team to pull off the upset and end Tennessee undefeated season.
