No. 11 LSU (4-1, 1-1 SEC) will look to bounce back in Week 7 with the Tigers set to square off against Shane Beamer and the South Carolina Gamecocks in Death Valley on Saturday night.

After falling to the Ole Miss Rebels in Week 5 prior to last week's open date, the Bayou Bengals have hit the reset button with an opportunity to get back in the win column.

"Our defense is playing well, and in particular, you just look to the Ole Miss game where we did not play efficiently enough offensively to start the game," Kelly said on Monday,

"In the first half, got ourselves behind and then played well in the second half and had an opportunity to win the game. You can't leave yourself open to the last play of the game, the last series of the game, a key stop.

"We just need to play a complete game where our offense complements our defense and special teams. That hasn't shown itself yet, but it will. We've worked hard on that. Our players have committed to that, and now we'll get an opportunity to show ourselves against a really good South Carolina team."

Now, with game day inching closer for Kelly and the Tigers, the early score predictions are in with the Bayou Bengals entering as significant favorites.
