Da Boot Sports 7/23/2024 By: Terrill J. Weil BATON ROUGE, LA - The 2024 LSU football season is 39 days away. After finishing 10-3 last season the Tigers will look to take the next step into college football elite status. There are a few questions that will need to be answered in 2024. Can the LSU offense remain explosive with Garrett Nussmeier at the helm? Can the Tigers generate an effective, reliable running attack? Can the special team's return game finally begin to make a difference after three seasons of nonexistence? Then there's the biggest question of them all, can new defensive coordinator Blake Baker return the roar to the Fighting Tigers' defense? If the Tigers can stay healthy and enjoys some football fortune, I'm very optimistic that this team will do the LSU faithful proud with a very exciting and successful season. Below are my game by game predictions for the 2024 season. Sept. 1 USC The Tigers start the season with a nationally televised, neutral sight contest against the USC Trojans at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev. Look for the LSU offense to click nicely against an average at best USC defense and a much improved LSU defense will play well against a USC offense that lacks experience at key positions. After a competitive first half, the Tigers pull away for a 35-20 victory to start the season 1-0. Sept. 7 NICHOLLS LSU returns home to begin the 100 years celebration of Tiger Stadium with a complete massacre of the Colonels. The Tigers dominate Nicholls with several second team players receiving valuable playing time in the second half as the Bayou Bengals win this one big, as they should, 72-10. Sept. 14 @ SOUTH CAROLINA The 2-0 Tigers go on the road for their first SEC game of the young season. After a slow start LSU takes down the Gamecocks, 31-17 to improve to 3-0 overall and 1-0 in the conference. Sept. 21 UCLA LSU returns home to do battle with UCLA in Tiger Stadium. The Tigers offense explodes against a weak and struggling Bruins defense for a 45-21 victory. Sept. 28 SOUTH ALABAMA The Jaguars of South Alabama come to Death Valley to face a red hot LSU squad. The Tigers waste little time jumping on their opponent and cruise to a 63-3 win. Oct. 12 OLE MISS In perhaps the biggest game of the season, an undefeated Ole Miss team comes to Baton Rouge to take on the 5-0 Bayou Bengals in a top ten matchup. The game is an exciting shootout, but very similar to last season, the LSU defense can't find an answer to the Rebels explosive offensive attack, falling in a close nail biter, 42-38. Oct. 19 @ ARKANSAS The Tigers bounce back on the road against a struggling Arkansas team with a 31-13 victory. With the win LSU improves to 6-1 overall and 2-1 in SEC play. Oct. 26 @ TEXAS A&M LSU's next big challenge will be on the road in College Station against a tough Texas A&M team. The Tigers defense makes the big play when needed to win a close one, 31-27. Nov. 9 ALABAMA The Tigers take on the Crimson Tide in Tiger Stadium. LSU wins game one of the post Nick Saban era in front of an electric crowd on a fun Saturday night, 28-24. The Tigers now sit at 8-1 overall and 4-1 in the SEC. Nov. 16 @ FLORIDA LSU travels to Gainesville to face a Florida team that is struggling and on the brink of firing their head coach. Nussmeier has a field day against the Gators defense as the Tigers win, 38-24. Nov. 23 VANDERBILT The Tigers returned home to dismantle Vanderbilt 52-13 to improve their record to 10-1 / 6-1. Nov. 30 OKLAHOMA The Sooners come into Tiger Stadium with LSU needing to win to advance to the SEC Championship Game and defeats the Tigers 38-35 in overtime. LSU finishes the regular season, 10-2 but just misses out on a trip to Atlanta to rematch Ole Miss. Ole Miss and Texas play in Atlanta for the conference title, but the Tigers do qualify for the new NCAA 12 team playoffs and host a first round contest.
