Stud: Kayshon Boutte
What more could be said at this point? Boutte had six catches for 127 yards and another touchdown, now scoring in seven straight games for LSU. Boutte showed his ability to get yards after the catch and found the endzone in the first quarter on a beautiful catch in double coverage on a skinny wheel route for LSU’s first points of the day. As long as he keeps this up, he’ll be a weekly installment in the stud section.
Dud: Max Johnson
Johnson didn’t have his best game Saturday night. LSU simply couldn’t get anything going on the ground, so they decided to pass 46 times, even as Auburn rushed three and dropped eight regularly. Johnson only completed 26 passes and finished with a QBR of 50.6. He did have 235 passing yards in the first half but only 90 in the second half. He’ll look to get back on track against Kentucky.
