#14 Wisconsin and #13 LSU meet in a neutral site showdown at Houston's NRG Stadium. Wisconsin coach Gary Anderson has yet to name who the new starting QB in this game will be. That will be a concern against a powerhouse SEC defense such as LSU. While Wisconsin's defense was outstanding last year, only three starters return. And let's face it - the Big 10 plays second fiddle to the SEC. Les Miles also has a quarterback decision to make between sophomore Anthony Jennings and true freshman Brandon Harris, but there is more experience there than at Wisconsin. Harris guided LSU to wins over Arkansas and Iowa in relief of Zach Mettenberger to close 2013. Four of five starters return on the offensive line - one of the SEC's best. The Tigers' backfield added freshman RB Leonard Fournette, the nation’s #1 overall prospect. This LSU defense is stocked and is being compared to LSU’s best teams of the 2000s under Nick Saban. Les Miles has led the Tigers to a school-record four straight seasons with at least 10 wins and the Badgers have dropped four of their last five neutral-field games. Take the Tigers minus the points in this one.
