Well, even if last weekend was less than enthralling, this upcoming weekend will provide plenty of action to make up for it. “We have to elevate our game and get better”. There’s going to be drama; there’s going to be action. It makes you want to make plays. This is a game where Harris is going to have to show up in a big way.

Moreover, it came on a stage custom-built for such a performance – a rivalry match in the best conference in college football between two of its best teams with virtually everything on the line from another victory, to the SEC West title, to an SEC championship to a berth in the College Football Playoff. We’ll have to see.
Along with being the front-runner for the Heisman Trophy, Fournette of course had to experience first-hand the destruction of Hurricane Katrina, and he had a response of his own on Twitter prior to the game. The phrase “roll Tide” can make you feel sick, but at the same time, don’t act like what they pulled off wasn’t impressive. Anytime an offensive shootout is on display, anything can happen and either team involved can win.
Mental lapses have led to big plays, keeping games much closer than they should have been. Alabama has the defensive scheme and athletes to prevent Fournette from totally dominating the game.
Prediction: TCU 47, Oklahoma State 412.
How about Clemson being the No. 1 team this week? Let that sink in.
The winning Titan will be well on its way to the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta and perhaps beyond to the College Football Playoffs in Arlington, Texas, or Miami, Florida, and maybe the national championship in Glendale, Arizona. Dalvin Cook is a special runner in the backfield and will give the Tigers’ defense fits. “It’s no surprise to me that the guy has developed into one of the premier players in the country and arguably the best running back”.
The Linemakers in Vegas have a pick and betting analysis on the Florida State-Clemson game, too.
Alabama quarterback Jake Coker has passed for 1,623 yards and running back Derrick Henry is the Crimson Tide’s workhorse.
Saturday’s LSU vs Alabama live stream and TV coverage is being touted as the game of the week and with good reason.
The No. 4 Crimson Tide soundly defeated the No. 2 Tigers 30-16.
Alabama lost to No. 18 Ole Miss at home 43-37.
The Spartans have won 12 straight Big Ten road games, but the Huskers are risky despite so many losses under new coach Mike Riley (last week was their most embarrassing, 55-45 to Purdue).
Both teams are coming off a bye (the schedule makers are no fools) so no real advantage there.
Diving into the matchup, both of theses school’s defenses are superb, ranking third and fourth (respectively) in yards allowed.
After a sack helped LSU force Alabama into a three-and-out, LSU kicker Trent Domingue added a 39-yard field goal to tie the game at 10 with 2:22 left in the half. His Godzilla-through-the-city romps have powered Alabama’s offense all season.

Instead, it was another running back who walked off the field Saturday night with Heisman hopes shining bright-Alabama’s Derrick Henry. Such mistakes could be a death sentence against the Crimson Tide. “That will ultimately determine the outcome of the game”. Alabama’s defense may cause Fournette to have a little tougher time than usual Saturday, which means Harris might need to do more than simply avoid turnovers as LSU attempts to remain unbeaten.
