Is it possible to win 31-3 and look unimpressive? If so, LSU accomplished that feat Saturday night against UL-Lafayette.
LSU's longest play of the night was 21 yards against an inferior club. Quarterback Jordan Jefferson missed a couple of big play chances down the field early. On one throw, Jefferson underthrew Chris Mitchell and the pass was intercepted.
LSU continues to use its most consistent offensive weapon, running back Charles Scott, sparingly. Scott carried only 12 times for 64 yards.
The Tigers early season schedule certainly looks tougher after Washington upset USC. But, through three games, LSU has been unimpressive. That can probably be good enough next week against Mississippi State, but not so in October as LSU goes to Georgia and hosts top ranked Florida October 10th.
