Well, we all knew that there was a chance that with an 11 a.m. kickoff, LSU’s match-up with a solid Utah State game had a solid chance for hinky-ness.
And hinky it was. Albeit, not in that close game kind of way. LSU blew the Aggies off the field in a fashion that the score doesn’t even fully illustrate. The Tigers ran NINETY plays on the day compared to just 53 for Utah State, doubled them up on yards per play and held the ball for more than two thirds of the game.
But the dominance was still out of fashion compared to LSU’s first four wins; the offense turned the ball over twice in the first half, punted once and scored just 21 points.
