LSU and Louisville are top 20 teams after combining for a 16-7 record as they meet up in Florida for the BUFFALO WILD WINGS CITRUS BOWL. LSU went 7-4 and comes into this game as the 20th team in the nation. LSU started the year 2-2, but since have got 5-2 and went 2-2 in four games against ranked teams. Louisville started off winning four in a row and nine of 10, but lost their last two games at Houston and to Kentucky in the instate rival by three dropping them out of the top five. Louisville has won three of their last four bowl games while LSU is 2-3 in their last five bowl games. Louisville is 1-1 in games against ranked teams beating then #2 FSU by 43 and losing a close one by six at Clemson. LSU relied heavily on the run scoring nearly three times as many rushing touchdowns than passing touchdowns and nearly 600 more rushing yards than passing. Louisville's offense is Lamar Jackson who lead the team in rushing yards (1,538), passing yards (3,390), rushing touchdowns (21) and passing touchdowns (30). Look for Lamar Jackson to take over this game and force LSU away from the run and force them to score by picking up big chunks of yardage through the air which won't work as Jackson and Louisville win 40-28.
