What to fix

Watched the game again and so far this is what I have noticed.
Easy fixes:
on the defensive side of the ball, Hunter got sucked in on multiple occasions which led to Wisconsin big plays. He will see this on film and this will be fixed by the time SEC play starts
Welter- as much as the coaches love this guy... he got manhandled in the game. Beckwith is just bigger and faster and plugs the holes up. With more reps, expect to see him in more than Welter (the wet napkin of our LB core) especially when we get into SEC play.
Big Plays- if LSU stays true to gap assignments then our D is going to be stout. Again the big plays were missed gap assignments. watching the film and reps will decrease this problem
On offense
The line will get better. You see this almost every season with almost every team. Would not worry too much about the bad line play.
The toss play to the outside just didnt work. We should have relied on more Off tackle or pulling guard plays in the Wisconsin game
LF will be a break out back. He just needs to realize that running over a player may not be the best way to get past him. still think he rushes for 1000+ be patient with him
We still dont have an efficient pass game. The TD was a good pass I will give Jennings that but he still looks "jumpy" in the pocket. I know the gameplan was 1, 2, run, but he needs to gather himself and step in the pocket. We missed 2 or 3 screens that if caught would have gone for huge gains. Not completely sold on Jennings but i expect him to start through most of the season.
Jennings has a good deep ball he just needs to learn pocket presence and we have the best coach in CC to do that.
Just my opinion on what can be fixed.
TL; DR there are a lot of easy fixes. Still expect LSU to win atleast 10 games.

The Number one thing should be better DT play. They looked soft and clumsy at DT until Godchaux came along and looked like the best DT.
I'm by no means a big Welter fan because he lacks the speed to play sideline to sideline, but it's hard to play MLB when your DT's are getting driven back and not eating blocks. Big Olinemen playing on the defensive side of scrimmage creates gaps that Ray Lewis would struggle to fill. Improved DT play and better technique by Hunter/Kwon on the sweeps and off tackle runs and this defense improves drastically.

It boggles my Mind every week when the coaches look at Film and just focus in on this guy and see how many times he is manhandled and out of postion. What do they say to him? He reminds me of one of those coaches sons that just is playing because of his dad being the coach. Maybe LES has another son that the Mrs. doesnt know about
