The Tigers will be without quarterback Jordan Jefferson who was suspended indefinitely after being arrested following a recent altercation outside a bar, while the Oregon will be without star cornerback Cliff Harris, who was suspended indefinitely because of an off-season speeding incident. Two key players for both sides. Still the Ducks will use their offensive firepower to overwhelm LSU’s defense.
LSU’s recent off-field trouble could not have come at a worse time as it tries to prepare for one of its toughest opponents this season. The distractions take their toll as the Tigers end up dropping a game they should have won.
