Feels like 2025 here in Tiger Stadium
8:01 p.m. - My goodness. Sam Leavitt throws a THIRD interception, and we've got some boos in Tiger Stadium. That one was also in the red zone.
Strange showing for Leavitt and the LSU offense, especially since they hung 51 on Clemson last week.
LSU up 10-7 at halftime
7:48 p.m. - Wow. LSU built a marathon 19-play drive, and Sam Leavitt threw a pick-six on the goal-line. Officially a 100-yard return.
Huge swing there. LSU could've taken a 17-0 lead before halftime, but now it's up only 10-7.
Bad, bad decision from Leavitt.
7:39 p.m. - LSU's getting Trey'Dez Green more involved, and now the offense has more of a rhythm. Three catches for 54 yards for the big TE on this drive alone, which is now up to 13 plays
7:25 p.m. - Sam Leavitt just threw his first interception of the year. He had Trey'Dez Green open on an out route, but he just sailed it over his head.
Lackluster first half from the LSU offense. Two turnovers and only 15 rushing yards.
7:23 p.m. - Here's a note from h's Jon Blau:
Harold Perkins was LSU's sack leader last season with 4 sacks.
Princewill Umanmielen has 4 sacks ... in LSU's first two games this season.
7:23 p.m. - After the fumble, LA Tech had the ball at the LSU 19. After three plays, they were backed up to the LSU 36. A 54-yard field goal try isn't even close.
The LSU defense is suffocating. Still 10-0 Tigers
7:17 p.m. - How 'bout the LA Tech defense. Beautiful peanut punch DB Jordan McRae forces WR Tre Wilson to fumble near the sideline. Sam Leavitt had to make a TD-saving tackle on the return.
The Bulldogs' defense gave LSU lots of problems last year, too. This is a well-coached team
7:15 p.m. - End 1st: LSU up 10-0
LA Tech has zero first downs, one turnover, three punts and 10 total yards. TJ Dottery is the early star: 5 tackles, 0.5 TFL and 2 forced fumbles
7:05 p.m. - Fumble: LB TJ Dottery ripped the ball away from a LA Tech receiver, and S Tamarcus Cooley recovers. The LSU defense is on fire.
But the offense...not as much. On the ensuing drive, Sam Leavitt got sacked and threw two incompletions. LSU punts for a second time tonight
7:00 p.m. - LSU has its first TD of the night, and it's a 5-yard Sam Leavitt scramble. Leavitt set up that score with a 42-yard completion to Hawaii transfer Jackson Harris.
Tigers are up 10-0, even though LA Tech is botting up their rushing attack. Only 18 yards on 11 attempts so far.
6:58 p.m. - Two defensive series, two third-down sacks. That time it was Princewill Umanmielen off the edge.
LA Tech punts, and Tre Wilson returns it 27 yards to the Bulldog 44-yard line. LSU has great field position
6:48 p.m. - LSU takes a 3-0 lead on a 29-yard field goal. Tigers got down to the 5-yard line on that drive, but they couldn't get into the end zone.
Sam Leavitt tried to scramble on 3rd and goal, but LA Tech had a spy on him
6:42 p.m. - Deuce Geralds has the first sack of his career to force h Tech into a punt. Good coverage there by LSU to give the front time to collapse the pocket.
Geralds teamed up with LB TJ Dottery on a nicely executed stunt
6:32 p.m. - LSU wins the toss and elects to start the game on offense. We're ready to get this thing rollin in Tiger Stadium
