Some thought LSU could be facing a trap game with a red-hot South Alabama offense coming to town, but instead, the Tigers played their most complete game of the season.
They came out of the gate strong, jumping out to a 21-0 first-quarter lead, and they ultimately pulled away to win comfortably 42-10 as the defense played lockdown football aside from one drive in the third quarter and the offense led a balanced attack thanks to a breakout game from freshman running back [autotag]Caden Durham[/autotag].
It was the kind of performance LSU wanted to see heading into its bye week before the meat of SEC play begins with a home contest against Ole Miss, which looks much more winnable after the Rebels lost to Kentucky.
