The Volunteers and Tigers have not met on the gridiron since the 2017 season, with LSU having won each of the last five meetings between the two teams, and Tennessee’s last win in this head-to-head series coming back in 2005.

LSU comes into this game with a 4-1 overall record, as well as an undefeated 2-0 mark in SEC Football play. Having won four straight games, the Tigers are coming off a 21-17 comeback road win at Auburn a week ago, and now return home to Tiger Stadium ranked as the No. 25 overall team in the country.

Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas Jr, and Jaray Jenkins have been LSU’s top producers at wide receiver this season, while the Tigers will use four running backs in Armoni Goodwin, Noah Cain, John Emery Jr, and Josh Williams.

Defensively, LSU is allowing only 14.8 PPG to opponents, and are led by the duo of Jay Ward and Harold Perkins, both of which have 20+ tackles on the season. Mekhi Wingo is also a key player along LSU’s defensive front, while Greg Brooks Jr, BJ Ojulari, Greg Penn III, and Major Burns are also names to know in particular.

Jaylen Wright and Jabari Small are the Volunteers top two options at running back, while the receiving trio of Jalin Hyatt, Cedric Tillman, and Bru McCoy has been one of SEC Football’s best this season.

LSU vs Tennessee SEC Football Prediction

With this game being played in Baton Rouge, you could certainly make the argument that this contest is a legit toss up when making a prediction. This game could honestly go either way, but I’ll say that LSU picks up their biggest win so far of the Brian Kelly era due to a late score, and beats Tennessee in a one possession game. Prediction: LSU 30, Tennessee 28
