Typically a midseason out-of-conference matchup for the LSU Tigers entails a cupcake game against a lowly opponent. That is not the case for Saturday’s showdown with the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers at Tiger Stadium.
LSU is undoubtedly the more talented team that will be taking the field. But for the first time since Week 2 against Mississippi State, Brandon Harris may not be the best quarterback lining up under center.
Western Kentucky senior Brandon Doughty is making the case to be one of the first quarterbacks to come off the board in the 2016 NFL Draft, and has been by far the largest factor behind the Hilltoppers’ 6-1 start to the 2015 season.
