Syracuse Football: 5 questions with ESPN’s Anish Shroff

Paul A. Esden Jr. (@BoyGreen25): 

LSU clearly had a setback last week in that game, what happened and is LSU reeling after that stunning loss?

Anish Shroff (@AnishESPN):

Yes they’re, this is clearly a wounded tiger. If you’re Syracuse and you have to go to one of the toughest environments in Tiger Stadium, there is probably no better time to do it than now. My analyst Ahmad Brooks said it this week and he’s going to say it Saturday, all the elements are in place. There’s a perfect concoction in his eyes for a potential upset. Personally I think more would have to go right for Syracuse than he does.

But you’re getting a LSU squad that is wounded. Depth wise there isn’t a lot going on with the offensive line, especially the defensive line. I’ll give you an idea here: they run a 4-3 base defense, they went into last week’s game with seven healthy defensive linemen and they came out with four. They’re in a precarious position with the SEC gauntlet of games on the horizon.
