With NFL kickoff not beginning for another week, Sunday will belong to college football as LSU and Florida State square off in New Orleans, Louisiana.
With LSU looking for a bounce-back season under new head coach Brian Kelly and Florida State looking to right its program under third-year Mike Norvell, there's a lot on the line for a Week 1 matchup, even (or perhaps especially) an out of conference one.
Florida State already has a game under its belt, having beaten up on the Duquesne Dukes 47-7 in Week 0 action. The competition curve should steepen considerably in Week 1, as the Tigers field a team that went 6-7 last year and was rife with controversy. LSU, however, hasn't yet named a starter between Jayden Daniels and Garrett Nussmeier, which is going to come down to a game-time decision.

As LSU continues its "gamesmanship," if it is that, Florida State is leaning on Jordan Travis, who went 11 of 15 last week against Duquesne for 207 yards, while Florida State had three players rush for over 100 yards. If Florida State can dominate in the trenches against the Tigers, it could be another big day for the FSU rushing game. LSU was intensely pedestrian against the run last year, allowing over 137 yards per game.
This game is going to be a litmus test for two teams looking to move on from past struggles. Who will get off on the right foot?
