I think LSU wins easily. That being said, Go Knights!
I have my doubt, missing basically half the defense, and CB was thin before. LSU will potentially have to play some walk-ons or additional Safeties as CBs.
The below is only the guys from the last few weeks out, this doesn't account for other season ending injuries or suspensions.
- CB Greedy (out - declared NFL): 1st Team
- CB Joseph (out - suspended: smoker): 2nd Team (He's really a safety but has been moved to CB because no depth)
- CB Fulton (out - surgery in December): 1st Team
- NT Alexander (out - suspended: smoker/declared NFL ): 2nd Team
- NT Fehoko (out - surgery in December) : 1st Team
- ILB Philips (out first half - targeting): 1st Team
- DE Farrell (I heard he might have broken his leg, not confirmed) : 2nd Team
- OLB Travez Moore (out - personal reasons): 3rd Team
- CB Vincent (his dad died the other day but I believe he is going to play): Now 1st Team, was 2nd Team
I'm expecting UCF at this point to either win or put lots of pressure on the Defense, they play 4-5 Wrs sets and LSU is basically out of CBs. Normally I would give LSU 20-30 points on a team that plays that kind of ball, but basically LSU is out of personnel especially at CB.
