The LSU football team has yet to begin its non-conference schedule, despite being in Week 4 of the college football season, but that will change this weekend. The Tigers are headed up north for a showdown with the Syracuse Orange at the Carrier Dome on Saturday.
Both teams enter the game undefeated, but only one enters the game with much certainty. Syracuse will be starting its third quarterback of 2015 this week, as Zack Mahoney fills in for the injured Eric Dungey.
Meanwhile, LSU is fresh off a 45-21 beatdown of Auburn, during which running back Leonard Fournette emerged as an early-season Heisman Trophy frontrunner.
