The first step to getting yourself out of a hole is to stop digging. On Saturday, LSU stopped digging.
No, it wasn’t the most technically proficient game of recent memory, but it also was a win, and wins have been in rather short supply this season. Additionally, LSU looked like the better team throughout, even when the scoreboard didn’t reflect it. It was an ugly win, but one would be hard pressed to call it an unjust result.
It’s not like every issue got suddenly fixed, but the team did take some pretty big steps to doing so.
