South Carolina at LSU: South Carolina will enter a hostile environment. The Gamecocks will be fortunate Under Armor has them on war footing. They should have recovered fully from a flu bug the past week. We know LSU’s defense will play well. The question is whether the Tigers’ coaching staff can engender some semblance of an offense. Some stability along the offensive line would help.

USC at Washington: Washington has performed well against USC of late. The Huskies have won two of the last three. Four of the last six have been decided by six points or less. The Trojans are also making their fourth road trip in their last five games. Kiffin turned on the sprinklers during practice to prepare for the wet weather.

Texas A&M at Louisiana Tech: This game was postponed because of Hurricane Isaac and is now a Top 25 matchup. Sonny Dykes’ offense? Johnny Football? Should be a good time.
