- This matchup features the same quarterbacks as last year’s 24-23 game on Labor Day weekend. But Jordan Travis and Jayden Daniels have taken huge leaps forward since then and they will be on top of their games here.
- Both of these teams have gone over the total in the majority of their games last season, and will hit the ground running to start this campaign.
The LSU Tigers and Florida State Seminoles both come into this season with high hopes and high expectations. Both teams are ranked in the top-10 going into their Labor Day weekend clash in Orlando, with the winner set to shoot up the early season rankings. Here, we make our college football picks for a titanic LSU vs Florida State matchup.
LSU Tigers
The LSU Tigers went 10-4 last season, losing two games in conference play and winning the Citrus Bowl over Purdue to close things out. This year, the Tigers come into their first week of the season with a top-five ranking and a Heisman Trophy frontrunner in Jayden Daniels. But for their season to take flight, they will need to start out with a win in this LSU vs Florida State contest.
Last season, it was special teams that cost LSU their chance to win this matchup early in the season, as they had multiple kicks blocked and missed some chances to come out on top. Better attention to detail will be required from LSU if they are going to win this time around.
Florida State Seminoles
Florida State comes into Week 1 of the college football season ranked eighth in the country. They also have a Heisman contender in Jordan Travis, who is coming off of a season where he threw 24 touchdowns to just five interceptions. Against a dangerous LSU team, Travis will need to be similarly efficient to win this weekend.
Last year, Florida State played three ranked teams, and lost to all three of them. While the Seminoles are in the top-10 going into this contest, they know that another loss to a ranked team here could really dent their credibility. Expect them to come out with a sense of urgency that matches that knowledge.
