LSU breezed past the 8th-ranked Hurricanes by 16 points — and it really wasn’t that close.
Yes, there’s still plenty to work on, because it’s a season opener and no team has found their final form in week one (and why would you want that in the first place?). This is still a young team that, hopefully, will continue to gel and improve over the next few weeks.
That’s the big reason why this game was so important, and why my biggest takeaway is that, quite frankly, LSU showed up, bowed right the hell up to Miami.
