Tiger Up, Tiger Down: Which LSU players stood out on Saturday

Who were the studs and duds from Saturday night? We have you covered with Tiger Up, Tiger Down for LSU.

It was a good night in Death Valley as the LSU Tigers defended their home turf at Tiger Stadium. The team improved to 35-0 in their last 35 games where they wore purple jerseys with gold pants and helmets.

Head coach Ed Orgeron had to be pleased with the performance of his team in the final tune-up game ahead of SEC play next week.

“We made some improvements tonight,” Orgeron said in his opening statement after the win. “I was very pleased with the up-tempo of our offense. I was really pleased with the play of the young receivers. I thought our quarterback, for the most part, played really well. Max had five touchdowns. You got to see what we’ve been seeing in practice with Deion Smith and those young receivers and a young running back. Some really good plays.”

Instant Analysis: Takeaways from the LSU Tigers 49-21 victory over Central Michigan

Five instant takeaways from the LSU Tigers victory over Central Michigan on Saturday night in Death Valley.

The LSU Tigers came out guns blazing against the Central Michigan Chippewas on Saturday night. The team was looking for a better start than they have seen over the last two games, it was much more like what we expected from the Bayou Bengals offense.

Max Johnson and the offense were ready to roll in the first half as they built a four-touchdown lead into halftime. One of the bright spots of the game, Jack Bech was extending drives that allowed Johnson to find Deion Smith for the first two offensive touchdowns.

The defense built on their game against McNeese, after giving up just one touchdown to the Cowboys on a long play it happened again. They had the offense shut down except for the one long touchdown on what appeared to be a miscommunication in the secondary.

Overall it was a good showing for the home team as they won big over Central Michigan. We break down the five instant takeaways from this game.
