LSU vs LA Tech Key Players to Watch
Heading into the LSU vs LA Tech matchup, there is not much of a mystery as to which team will come out on top. The LSU Tigers are one of the top teams in the country, and while LA Tech is not a bad team, it is not on the level of the top teams in the nation. As a result, much of the focus will likely be on each team’s top players to see how they perform.
For LSU, all eyes will be on quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. Heading into the season, he was viewed as one of the Heisman favorites. After Week 1, he still appears to be in the mix. He helped the Tigers defeat No. 8-ranked Clemson in Week 1, completing 28 of 38 passing attempts for 230 yards and one TD. According to FanDuel, he is not the betting favorite to win the Heisman with +800 odds.
On the side of the LA Tech Bulldogs, fans will be watching to see how QB Trey Kukuk plays while competing against a top QB in the nation. He had a strong Week 1, completing 14 of 19 passes for 130 yards and one TD.

Picks and Predictions for LSU vs LA Tech
It should be no surprise that we are picking the LSU Tigers to defeat LA Tech in this matchup. They defeated a top 10 opponent last week in the Clemson Tigers, and should have a much easier time against the Bulldogs. This will likely be the biggest test of the season for LA Tech, and if they perform well, it could be a sign that they could compete for the Conference USA championship.
Fans interested in betting will likely need to get creative.
Best Bet: LSU winning margin 25-30 (+600)
