After coming out very sluggish against McNeese last week, the LSU Tigers came out swinging in week three. The Tigers opened up a 35-7 lead at the half and that was all she wrote for this game.
The offense scored on four first-half possessions, and the defense added one of their own. That would be all they would need in this game as the defense was swarming to the ball and making life difficult on Central Michigan.
