After an opening week debacle, LSU needed an easy win. Well, they got that, but not much else. And nothing which will quiet the boo birds in the LSU fanbase.
LSU had a chance to make a statement early, and to give the team credit, it largely did so. LSU put together a 10 play, 63 yard drive which ate up 8:16 of clock, ending in a touchdown pass from Max Johnson to Trey Palmer. That was the good news.
The bad news is that LSU seemed unable to build off of that opening drive, getting zero points on its next three possessions, including a turnover on downs when LSU was unable to convert on a 3rd and 1.
