Last week the defense had plenty of struggles in the loss to UCLA, this time around they played with a much different attitude.
The LSU Tigers defense was able to blank the McNeese offense led by Cody Orgeron. By the time the fourth quarter rolled around, the defense was absolutely punishing the opposing quarterback. Orgeron was able to get one touchdown against his dad on a 44-yard screen pass to Carlo Williams, ending the shutout bid.
On offense, the Tigers played both scholarship quarterbacks in this game. Johnson threw three touchdowns again this week, two of which went the way of Kayshon Boutte. Trey Palmer caught the opening score of the game for the Bayou Bengals on a fourth-down play.
Garrett Nussmeier would take over late in the third quarter, he would lead two scoring drives. He would finish three for 10 with 19 yards passing. His receivers did him no favors with drops. However, the Tigers get the win 34-7 and look towards the Central Michigan Chippewas next week.
