LSU evaluates areas for improvement following week one victory over Clemson

Summary

No. 11 LSU secured a 51-10 victory over Clemson at Tiger Stadium on Saturday night. Despite the lopsided score, staff identified three specific areas for development as the team looks ahead to upcoming games against Oxford and Texas A&M. The passing game struggled with drops from receivers and timing issues between the quarterbacks and their targets. Additionally, placekicker Scott Starzyk connected on a 49-yard field goal but missed a 48-yard attempt during the second quarter. Coaches indicated that the receiving rotation could change if current starters continue to drop passes. LSU seeks to maintain an undefeated record through September.
