TAKEAWAYS


- What did LSU work on in the bye week? Jalen Milroe looked like prime Michael Vick.

- This offensive line got punched in the mouth once again and did not bounce back.

- LSU has been outscored 73 to 19 in the last 6 quarters. This team looks lost suddenly.

- Once again, 8-4 is a real possibility.

- You have to involve Caden Durham and Mason Taylor more often.

- LSU was outcoached in this one, and it was obvious.


AWARDS

- Offensive MVP - Kyren Lacy - Kyren plays hard from the opening snap until the final snap.

- Defensive MVP - Whit Weeks - White had 15 total tackles and was involved in a few big stops for the Tigers.


The Tigers travel to Gainesville Saturday afternoon to take on the Florida Gators. Can they snap out of it? We shall see.
