LSU Remains Ranked in Top 3 After Shaky Performance Against Louisiana Tech

LSU defeated Louisiana Tech 23-7 on Saturday night at Tiger Stadium to improve their record to 2-0.
The victory followed an upset over Clemson and came despite LSU being more than a five-touchdown favorite and struggling with execution.
LSU's defense compelled Louisiana Tech to punt eight times in a row before conceding a late touchdown, while quarterback Garrett Nussmeier threw for 237 yards and connected with Nic Anderson for a touchdown late in the first quarter.
Starting center Braelin Moore injured his ankle on the first snap and tight end Trey'Dez Green suffered a knee injury; both were scheduled for MRIs Sunday.
Coach Brian Kelly expressed unhappiness with the team's overall production and cited a lack of execution by players and coaches that hindered their ability to pull away.
