Miles against Lambeau Leap in LSU-Wisconsin

LSU coach Les Miles put a seemingly effective kibosh on any Tiger with plans of attempting the “Lambeau Leap” on Saturday. “He’s got a lot of ability as a football player”. Wisconsin, like opponents last season, surely will gang up on Fournette early and make Harris prove he can take advantage of opportunities in the passing game.

LSU stormed out of the gate last season, winning its first seven games before hitting a roadblock known as the Alabama Crimson Tide. “They’re saying our schedule is pretty tough”, said running back Dare Ogunbowale. “I think our guys understand that we’ll do it right”.

Wisconsin has just six seniors projected to start the 2016 season – QB Bart Houston, RB Corey Clement, WR Rob Wheelwright, OLB Vince Biegel, S Leo Musso and CB Sojourn Shelton – and 13 total on the roster.

Lambeau Field is getting ready for an historic moment when Wisconsin takes on LSU, playing for the first time in Green Bay.

“I’ve been watching them on film for a while, there are a great team”.

“Overall, those goals are still in the back of my mind”, Fournette conceded, but added that he feels like team goals are far more important, particularly in light of the enjoyment that could bring to fans in the Baton Rouge area who are in the midst of recovery from recent flooding.

Offensive lineman Logan Schmidt (head) will also miss Saturday’s game.

“I think polls can be misleading”.

Kicking off the college football season, a flood of LSU fans will be swarming Wisconsin this weekend.

“We knew from the very onset this would be huge”, Brad Toll, president of the Greater Green Bay Convention and Visitors Bureau, said. Chris Orr and Jack Cichy will start at inside linebacker with Edwards out.

The first indication of what kind of impact new LSU defensive coordinator Dave Aranda is having will come against his former team. “You never know who you can inspire”.

The last couple of years, Bucky’s gang has played at the homes of the Chargers, Cowboys, Texans, and Buccaneers.

“I hope that Troy’s a big part of what we’re doing offensively”, Chryst said Monday.
