LSU secures victory over Louisiana Tech but struggles in offense
Summary

LSU claimed a 45-14 victory against Louisiana Tech on September 12 at Tiger Stadium, Baton Rouge. Despite the win, LSU faced significant challenges, particularly in the first half where offensive inefficiencies, including three interceptions, kept the game close. Quarterback Sam Leavitt's performance was marred by turnovers, including a pick-six, which highlighted the team's struggles. The offensive line also faced criticism for its run-blocking, failing to open lanes, and generating only 66 rushing yards for Dilin Jones in the contest. LSU will need to address these issues moving forward as they prepare for their next matchup.
