LSU defense gets the job done against Southeastern

LSU linebacker Devin White said the Tigers have a goal of getting three takeaways every game.

In the season opener against Miami, LSU came up short with just two interceptions although one was returned for a touchdown by Jacob Phillips.

Against Southeastern in Saturday (Sept. 8) night's 31-0 win, The Tigers hit their mark.

It started in the first quarter when White ripped the ball away from Southeastern's Darren Johnson to force a fumble recovered by Andre Anthony. The other two didn't come until the fourth quarter however.

First, Greedy Williams stepped in front of a Chason Virgil pass at the LSU 6-yard line to stop a drive and on the ensuing Southeastern drive, the Lions again looked like they were going to get on the scoreboard.
