BATON ROUGE – LSU’s secondary tallied five interceptions off Florida QB DJ Lagway to help the No. 3 Tigers secure the 20-10 victory on Saturday night in the SEC opener.

Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier went 15-27 for 220 yards and one touchdown and one interception. Aaron Anderson led the team in receiving with four catches for 75 yards, while Caden Durham finished the night with 93 yards on 15 carries. Defensively, linebacker Dahvon Keys led the unit in tackles with 14, but it was all about the secondary, who tallied five interceptions (Spears x2, Cooley, Pickett).

“(Lagway) was never settled in the pocket,” said head coach Brian Kelly postgame. “There was great pressure. Most of those picks were out of rhythm throws. That was the game plan.”

With the win, the Tigers improve to 3-0 overall and 1-0 in conference play. They will return to action next Saturday at 6:30 p.m. CT against Southeastern in Death Valley.

Yeah, but Jamie threw all 5 of his picks in the 4th Qtr with 3 pick 6's, and that's a tough standard to match.

Offense looks terrible tho, we never have 2 things that match since 2019. Either offense good, defense bad or defense good, offense bad.
