LSU’s offensive keys to the game against Missouri

As No. 17 LSU heads to Columbia, the offense must continue its success to defeat Missouri.

The No. 17 LSU Tigers are riding a one-game winning streak heading into Saturday’s tilt with the 0-2 Missouri Tigers.

Running back John Emery Jr. had a solid outing last week against Vanderbilt as he rushed for 103 yards and one touchdown in his first start of the season.

Redshirt junior quarterback Myles Brennan is beginning to find his rhythm after having a shaky game in the season opener.

As the Tigers head to Columbia for the first time ever, here are the keys to the game for the LSU offense.

Brennan has to continue the upward trek

Last week against Vanderbilt, Myles Brennan went 23-of-37 for 337 yards with four touchdowns and one interception. He has thrown at least one pick in the Tigers’ two games this year.

Despite the interceptions, the LSU junior signal-caller looked much improved last week. Missouri is allowing 246.5 passing yards per game. Brennan is averaging 341 passing yards per game so far.

For the Tigers offense to have a successful game, the Tigers’ junior leader has to continue the upward trek he started last week.
