A lot has changed since the LSU Tigers won the national championship in 2019. The Tigers are now 8-8 in the last two seasons under head coach Ed Orgeron since the perfect 15-0 campaign during the 2019 season.
LSU got beat Saturday night and got beat bad. It wasn’t a fluke, and now the Tigers are 3-3 with a very difficult schedule ahead.
Here are some studs and duds from the LSU loss to Kentucky.
Dud: LSU’s rushing defense
As the week went on, a lot was said about how the Tiger defense was able to get any stops against Auburn to at least give the LSU offense a chance to win. The same can’t be said about the performance against Kentucky. Chris Rodriguez Jr. ran for 147 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. He added another score in the passing game as the LSU defense didn’t account for him on a quick snap on fourth down. Kentucky rushed for 329 yards on 45 attempts.
