LSU Tigers vs Baylor Bears team news & key players
LSU Tigers team news
Questions loom over LSU's motivation, as the Tigers find themselves in a bowl game outside the College Football Playoff—a situation similar to their SEC counterparts like Alabama. Despite the circumstances, LSU closed the regular season strong with two consecutive wins. In their most recent game, a dominant 37-17 victory over Oklahoma, quarterback Garrett Nussmeier impressed by completing 22 of 31 passes for 227 yards and three touchdowns. Unlike some quarterbacks who have opted out, Nussmeier has committed to returning next season and will lead the Tigers in this contest.
LSU’s offense has averaged 29.3 points per game, ranking 54th nationally, while their defense has conceded 23.8 points per game, coming in at 56th. Both units have been solid, if unspectacular, but their well-rounded roster gives them the tools to compete effectively against Baylor.
Baylor Bears team news
Baylor enters this matchup on the heels of a resounding 45-17 victory over Kansas on November 30. Their offense exploded in the third quarter, putting up 21 points to cement the win. Quarterback Sawyer Robertson delivered a standout performance, completing 23 of 31 passes for 310 yards and four touchdowns. Running back Bryson Washington dominated on the ground with 192 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries, while wide receiver Monaray Baldwin hauled in seven passes for 119 yards and two scores.
However, Baylor faces a significant challenge with both starting tackles opting out to prepare for the NFL draft. This absence could put their offensive line under pressure. On the season, the Bears are averaging 34.7 points per game, ranking 20th nationally, while their defense, allowing 25.2 points per game, sits at 68th.
