The Biggest Trap Game on LSU's 2020 Schedule

The 2019 rendition of the LSU Tigers was something out of a fairy tale. Led by the great personality of head coach Ed Orgeron and Heisman quarterback Joe Burrow, LSU paced the nation with a resounding 15-0 record and a National Championship.

Things have changed just a bit though in Baton Rouge. Burrow is now in the NFL, along with multiple other former LSU stars. Orgeron of course is not going anywhere, but he is going to need to have the 2020 Tigers ready for a classic SEC trap game.

While the strength of schedule is not necessarily high, a road game against Arkansas is not going to be a cakewalk. With the loss of Burrow, Justin Jefferson at wide receiver, Clyde Edwards-Helaire at running back and plenty of defensive players, LSU will have to re-tool to be ready to go out on the road with a lot less veteran talent.

If there is a one man show that the Razorbacks have that could virtually carry them to a victory, it would have to be senior running back Rakeem Boyd.

Arkansas has been a doormat in the conference for the last few years. If LSU goes on the road and takes them lightly, though, the Hogs could somehow pull off an upset for the ages.
