Coming into tonight’s game against Vanderbilt, [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] and the LSU Tigers needed a win in the worst way. They got exactly what they needed in a close game against the Commodores.
The LSU offense showed signs of life for the first time in nearly three weeks as they put up more yards through the air and on the ground than [autotag]Diego Pavia[/autotag] and the Vandy offense.
Tonight, we got to see the Tigers break out a new uniform combination. The Tigers wore gold jerseys with purple numbers. I am on the fence about these uniforms so we’ll stick to what happened on the field here. I will leave that up to you to decide.
Let’s look at the players who saw their stock rise or fall in this game.
Stock Up: Josh Williams
It is great to see [autotag]Josh Williams[/autotag] scoring touchdowns for the Tigers. He finished the night as the leading rusher for LSU with 14 carries for 84 yards and two touchdowns.
Stock Up: Tigers get back in the win column
You guys know as well as I do that LSU needed a win in the worst way in this game. They got it by fighting off a tough Vandy team.
Stock Up: Garrett Nussmeier
Speaking of getting back on track, [autotag]Garrett Nussmeier[/autotag] was very efficient in the win over the Commodores. He finished the game 28-for-37 throwing for 332 yards and a touchdown.
Stock Down: Inability to create turnovers
Although LSU won the game, the Tiger’s defense was unable to force any interceptions or fumbles by Vandy. The only turnover for the Commodores was a turnover on downs.
Stock Up: The offense has life
As it turns out, the LSU offense still has the ability to put up some points. The Tigers outgained Vandy 332-186 through the air and 139-122 on the ground.
