It hasn’t been pretty for the LSU Tigers in the Texas Bowl. After the first two drives resulted in just six plays and an interception by Jontre Kirklin, the Bayou Bengals found themselves down 21-0 late in the second quarter.
The offense finally was able to find a little bit of traction after starting the drive from their own 10-yard line. Kirklin and the offense were able to get a little bit of momentum on that side of the ball.
Facing a second and 15 from the 23-yard line, the Tigers finally broke through on the scoreboard. Kirklin was able to find a fellow wide receiver Jaray Jenkins in the endzone for the first LSU score of the night. That narrowed the lead to just 14 points.

The Tigers will get the ball to start the second half. If they can find a way to get another score, we could have ourselves a ballgame. Their defense needs to find a way to either get off the field or create turnovers for the offense.
Through one half of play, the Kirklin has 61 yards of offense with the lone touchdown.
