It wasn't perfect.
LSU made mistakes in its 41-7 win over Vanderbilt on Saturday in Nashville. They dropped passes, lost control of gaps, and left plays on the field on both sides of the ball.
Perfection wasn't the goal on Saturday, though. Improvement was the primary mission. And LSU was better across the board against Vanderbilt.
Mission accomplished – for now.
"All week, guys wanted to get better," head coach Ed Orgeron said. "There were a lot less mistakes in this football game than the first."
Perhaps the biggest ascendancy came in the secondary, which had nowhere to go but up after giving up 623 passing yards last week.
