CBS Sports Grades LSU's Performance vs. Louisiana Tech

CBS Sports wasn't overly impressed with LSU's 45-14 win over Louisiana Tech on Saturday night, giving the No. 8 Tigers a C- grade for their performance.

LSU piled up 278 yards before Louisiana Tech recorded a single yard, but four second-quarter turnovers — including three interceptions from Sam Leavitt — kept the game close at halftime. CBS Sports noted that the Tigers looked unfocused coming off their blowout win over Clemson with a highly anticipated road trip to Ole Miss up next.

No. 8 LSU
Grade: C-
Result: 45-14 win vs. Louisiana tech
Title odds: +1300

LSU turned the football over four times in the second quarter and led just 10-7 at halftime, despite having a 278-0 edge in total yards. Three of those giveaways were interceptions from quarterback Sam Leavitt, who struggled at times against a Louisiana Tech defense that wreaked some havoc. The visiting Bulldogs notched five sacks and 11 tackles for loss. A week after an emotional beatdown of Clemson and a week before a highly anticipated trip to Ole Miss, LSU didn't seem dialed in.
